offering high attenuation of background noise. So if your living depends on using monitoring headphones whether you be a DJ, sound engineer or work in film or tv, these Sennheiser HD 25 Pro headphones are the ones to get.

Combined with excellent attenuation of ambient noise, steel cables and super tough construction, the HD25 headphones are everything you'd want and more from a pair of monitoring phones.

Advantages: Comfort, Quality, Availability of spares. Disadvantages: Cord a bit short.
Needing a new pair of headphones, my previous pair being stood on and smashed by a drunken me, I searched on-line and in the shops and decided upon the SennheiserHD25?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 professional build quality; ?made in Ireland? was silk-screened on the 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 ...

Advantages: Excellent bass and range Disadvantages: Length of cable always gets in the way
A good pair no matter what people say!
When i first saw a pair of HD25's i was Djing at a club in Brighton, i was amazed at the sound quality of such a small set of headphones in such a noisy enviroment. However I was somewhat secpitcle of paying alot of money for a pair of headphones, as there are so many in the market which are obviously much cheaper.
The sound canceling is excellent with a wide range of varying frequency and the neat compact design gives these headphones 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 ...

Advantages: Superior Sound at any level Disadvantages: Cable a bit too short; could be a little more comfortable
I own a pair of Sennheiser headphone that a mate of mine bought off ebay three years ago and they are just amazing. The sound quality is second to none and especially when I'm listening to the latest DVD releases. Just check the bass on these things; it's just as though I'm in the cinema when played on my portable DVD player and the sound is just deafening with no distortion from mid range to high no matter how hard you push them.
Build quality is not flashy, but is durable and small and near impossible to break; just the cable is a bit short but you can get a cable extension lead to fit. IV'e tested these againgst other headphones and they come out tops and for the price, you would have to pay a lot, lot more. Highly recommended ...
