Sennheiser HD-25's: Ideal for Home or Pro DJ

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 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 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...

Sennheiser HD 25 SP Headphones

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...

Review of Sennheiser HD 25

ok, i admit i'm a sennheiser fan...

Advantages: comfortable, excellent frequency response, sound amazing!
Disadvantages: cable only one metre long - but it is solid steel!

...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 you could keep them on all night if you have 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...

The DJ's Best Friend

Advantages: Loud, clear, isolate brilliantly, light, comfy, user replaceable parts.
Disadvantages: Expensive, not as good looking as some headphones (as if it matters).

...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 them like some larger models. The headband, which is splitable (is there such a word?) can be adjusted to fit as you want, and allows for every common style of monitoring, be it single or double eared. One of the cups also rotates to allow single-sided monitoring/shoulder resting. The single-sided cable on the Senns is not too long, but long enough to allow freedom of movement around...

Sennheiser CX300 - a great upgrade earphone

Advantages: Great sound clarity, very comfortable
Disadvantages: Higher frequencies not as refined as other earphones

...Listening to music... a great British pastime, and something I enjoy every day. It comes as no surprise, mainly because it has been said many times before, that the earphones bundled with the iPod, or any MP3 player, are not brilliant. The iPod earphones are better then most, but for a small investment you can get a lot more music for your money. Sennheiser are well known for their high quality offerings, but this needn't break the bank. Their CX300 earphones weigh in at under £20 and are available in either black, white or silver. They come supplied nicely packaged with small, medium and large ring adaptors for a comfortable fit. Of the three colours I really like the black, which are accented with silver rings. Being the in-ear type of headphone, comfort is very important. Out of all the earphones I have tried, these win...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

Sennheiser CX 300

Advantages: Sound quality, bass, ability to block out background noise
Disadvantages: Very flimsy for the price and no case included

...I bought these roughly a year ago and they only lasted a few months. The sound quality is very, very good. Having been stuck using the basic iPod earphones prior to these, the CX 300 were a refreshing change. The bass on them is certainly more than adequate. Although some in-ear headphones don't block out background noise very well you won't have that problem with these. As long as you have the correct sized cover on the headphones the background noise will be blocked out completely meaning you can have your mp3 player on below half max volume and hear the music very clearly. Prior to these I'd never used in-ear headphones before and was somewhat concerned as to whether they'd be to hard and rough on my ear. The Sennheiser however are very soft, not too large and quite easy to use. So, why didn't they last me very long? The wire...

Sennheiser - enjoy the sound!

Advantages: the wireless freedom, great sound quality
Disadvantages: maybe little too big?

...I'm incredibly happy with my new set of Sennheiser headphones. I have been using Sennheiser products for years and also this time I am not dissapointed. I love loud music so I use headphones almost everyday. The quality of sound is just great. Of course the biggest advantage is freedom which gives you wireless functionality. I can go downstairs to the kitchen, I can go outside and sit in my garden and the sound is still clear and very high quality. The only one thing is I wish I could increase the basses. The look and design is very nice and modern but in my opinion the ear pads may be little too big for a woman. And unfortunately people in the same room can still hear a lot! But as I said, I really trust Sennheiser for its quality and I would never give it away I remommend to everybody. Very good overall performer....

Review of Sennheiser RS130

Sennheiser CX300 in-ear headphones.

Advantages: Cancel out background noise, comfortable to wear, enhances listening experience
Disadvantages: None

...I'd just recently bought a new mp3 player and after shelling out quite a lot of money for it, I didn't want to be let down to poor sound quality of the packaged headphones. After doing some research online, I decided to get a pair of Sennheiser CX300's. I have to say they are fantastic. They come with 3 sets of earbuds in different sizes, experiment and find out which are most comfortable in your ears. They are very easy to wear- I forget I'm wearing them half the time! And the sound....well the sound is amazing. I can hear tracks on my mp3 player far more clearly and defined. They cancel out a lot of backround noise too- the early morning commutes on a packed bus have never been so peaceful. All in all I love them. Definately worth the £20 or so price tag. I let my brother borrow them one day and he ended up buying...
