HD280 is the best bang for the buck. I've bought 5 pairs now for other people!

Could not agree more. No-frills styling (i.e. kinda fug but durable plastic), extremely comfortable for long periods of time, over-ear doesn't leak a lot of sound into your surroundings, nice low-end punch, and otherwise flat enough for basic multitrack mixing work.

While I agree on all of the other points, they are most definitely not extremely comfortable. Especially if you have a larger head, you'll feel like your skull is in a clamp quite fast.

Other than that (and the headband cracking) those are one of the best headphones I've ever had.

I've had my pair for a couple years and love them.

BUT, they were poorly tested. Both sides have broken where they slide out of the headpiece to extend.

Spent $5 at home depot and with a bit of drilling they are now reinforced and back together.

That's what you think. Every application is different.

Hello, I'm the author. You can ask me respond to me here if you like.

I wrote it in May. It was well received then, but it has gotten more play now since the 37 signals post on caching. IMO my guide is the definitive guide to the caching system in Rails.

I believe this is the first time it has made it to HN. I've always gotten very good feedback on it. Thanks for your comments.

Hey, I wrote that! Thanks for the compliment :D

It's called electronic music. Trance preferred.

http://pure.fm/ The progressive channel in particular does to for me, but they have excellent sets on all their channels.

It does indeed, everyone loves Twitter Bootstrap! but don't be fooled, we're working on making things look much slicker for launch.
