The HD-280's are great headphones, but the HD-380's are a significant upgrade. Better bass response and more open sounding. They sound extremely similar to my HD-595's.

After a bit of research the 380's do indeed seem to have a good rating. I believe both the 280's and 380's are collapsible but the 380's have an easier to replace cable.
