Sennheiser HD 25

...shops and decided upon the Sennheiser HD25’s. They were certainly not the cheapest on offer, at the top end of my budget coming in at just under £125 from Superfi about 6 months ago. (I have seen them online now for £99 at Djstore.co.uk) I am not a DJ, nor do I profess to be, but I selected these since they appear very hard wearing, and offer exceptional hi-fi sound quality with comfort. Upon removal from the box, I was delighted with the overall ...
...headband, I would have thought they would have been made in Deutschland! Every part of the headphones appears interchangeable, drive units, pads, cable and headband, certain on-line stores can supply these quite readily making the HD-25 truly user serviceable – ideal for the demands of the professional ear phone wearer. The headband can be split down the middle, offering great support – these won’t fall of your head will dancing around like a Muppet. ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

Put simply, the Sennheiser HD25's are the best DJ headphones ever made. Forget Sony's flash but flimsy MDR700's, Pioneer's HD1000's, Ministry/Ixos' 1001's or the Technics 1200 range, Sennheiser have crafted the ideal tool for the DJ, wherever he or she might be playing. This becomes apparent the instant you try a pair of HD25's. Unbelievably light, at just 140g, they fit any head like a glove, and the cups rest nicely on the ears, although not covering ...
...Sonys and Pioneers, but the Sennheiser HD25's comprehensively outperform these, and just about every other DJ headphone on the market in the areas which matter most to the DJ - sound reproduction, clarity, isolation and comfort. That's why they're the choice of many a top jock, and why I've just ordered a pair. In any case, I don't mind the design, in fact I quite like it - it's simple and effective. At £99 current RRP they may not be cheap, but ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

I bought a set of these headphones for primarily using for DJing. They are very expensive compared to your average set of headphones as they cost with little change from £90. The headphones are of industrial standard as every component is replaceable. This means they are very well designed as the headphones cable themselves plug into the speaker units so when a cable connection breaks you can replace just the lead, if a head phone breaks you can ...
...years and they are still going strong. This is excellent, as I seem to break other manufacturers headphones very easily before purchasing this set. The sound quality is reasonable as they are suited to DJing. The only drawback I find is that the cable always seems to curl up and gets tangled which is a pain when mixing and having to untangle them after a mix. However they are very light and comfortable to use and all these features show that they ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

These headphones are pretty much industry standard for DJ's and sound engineers alike. I've heard from some friends that they're not that great if you're producing/mastering tracks but in terms of listening - they're are the dogs proverbials. Amazing frequency responce at both ends and incredible volume with no distortion. I've used these at home, at parties and in bars whilst DJing and i've never struggled to hear over a soundsystem with them on. ...
...player and you can forget sound cancelling when you're on the train - these are such a snug fit that all exterior sound is drowned out or blocked. (not safe - look where you're going and wait for the green man before you cross the road). Generally they dont look that exciting but when u spend £100 on headphones you're probably after quality of the sound than the way they look. The splitting headband is very comfortable and the adjustable headphones ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

But don't let my apparent bias turn you off. I dj, so when i listen to music or am cueing up a tune, i want a representation of the sounds that is real. That's exactly what the HD25s do for you. The drivers in these babies accent the bass, mid and treble alike, so well that make whatever you're listening to sound so crystal clear that you will never want to take them off again. They are very comfy to wear, with the ear cups and the split head band ...
...to and not feel bad/get sweaty ears. Everything on these is detachable and replaceable so any wear and tear need not mean the end of your favourite cans. Have had mine for three years of near constant use and the pading round the ear cups has torn a little, but know i can replace them for around 16GBP. The cable isn't one of those nasty coily things thats going to grow into a chaotic ball of knots given time either. It's solid steel, so signal delivery ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

Yes, they are expensive. But if you can afford them, buy them! These are amazing headphones and I have never used any that come close. They block out external noise well, and you can keep cranking up the volume for ages before they start distorting. This makes them ace for DJing and in fact most professional DJs do use them. They are comfy to wear which makes them suitable also for standard music listening with good tight bass response. I understand ...
...replaced if it breaks, but after 2 years of using mine i have never had to! They are definately robust! My only complaint with them is the length of the cable, I'm always finding myself wishing it was longer. Although with a standard 3.5mm jack plug, it wouldnt be hard to find an extension. They may not look the most sexy headphones on the market, but trust me they sure are the best performing. The cheapest place I found these was, and still is, ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

...the edge. Sennheiser known for its superb sound and quality has again hit the nail on the head with these with small features such as nice comfy earpeices and adjustable headband also changeable cabling if it gets broken, really help these stand out. The only problem that i found is the length of the cable at over 2 meters it is very easy to get in a tangle, but that small problem does not out weigh these excellent headphones, i recomend 100% even ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

I, like others, had often heard of these headhphones before I bought my first pair. I tested out both these and the cheaper model, the HD 25 SP, and these sound better and are built more robustly. The quality of the sound is excellent, with both bass and treble very clear, making everything in between sound like you'd want it to. The sound isolation is also impressive, being on a par with inner-ear earphones. Another useful feature of these headphones ...
...you can take the earpads off, or cables, and can also readily find replacements online for a reasonable price. Having said that, I've had my pair for a year, and so far haven't needed to replace anything. The only complaint I have, and it is becoming more serious, is that they are quite painful to wear for long periods if, like me, you also wear glasses. I find that the earpads press my ears into the frame of my glasses. However, if you're not a ...
