HD 25 Basic Edition, Closed Headphone for ENG/DJ use with split headband

I found that the H25s’ went from fairly pants to magical in the first ten or so hours of use. Once run in they are very neutral with a flat frequency response and a tonal accuracy that some may term a little clinical; similar in nature to Grado Headphones (but without the mid-range emphasis). Not as warm and exciting as my AKG 451s’ but overall more musically satisfying. In my opinion far superior to the Sennheiser Momentum 2 that everyone raves about. Not designed as commuter portables, but if you need a small pair of real audiophile quality headphones that afford a reasonable level of sound isolation and real musical satisfaction then definitely try them out. Great monitor level headphones if you are into mixing and recording your own music. Can be critical of poor quality input so better with CD quality or higher resolution input. Bottom line is that I never feel as though they have any significant faults in their presentation and they draw me into the music. Recommended. Pros Sound quality. Lots of portable headphones are designed with low frequency bias. The H25s’ are not and have a very neutral and detailed presentation with a fine tonal accuracy. Every part of the music just sounds well balanced and right. They also have a wide sound-stage for closed cup headphones. If you are not used to this presentation then you may consider them a bit analytical or clinical but persevere and you may start to be absorbed in the detail and musical dynamics and find the H25s’ highly musical. Well made. Very sturdy phones and most parts are replaceable. Limited microphoney from the cable. So if you tap the cable you don’t get a large booming in your ear. Even at the full retail price they are worth it. Reasonable sound isolation. Strangely Comfortable. Initially you are aware of a significant pressure applied by the headband to the ear pads and I expected this to become uncomfortable over time, but it doesn't. You are always aware that you are wearing the headphones but the pads soften quite quickly and you get used to the pressure. For me it never becomes uncomfortable and the ear cups do not move around and cause irritation. Good if you wear glasses. The design means that the ear-pads do not touch the arms of glasses. Cons No carry case or bag supplied. Bulky. The headband and size of ear cup mean that they are not particularly good if you are listening to music whilst lying down. They are not really everyday portable headphones. Make everything sound great, however they really deserve to be used with at least high quality CD resolution music sources. Not stylish but very functional looking.

I won't comment much on the sound quality - plenty of comment elsewhere. They give a well-balanced, neutral sound with adequate bass and nice soundstaging. I find them comfortable to wear and can enjoy listening with them for a few hours without fatigue/discomfort. I bought these primarily for music on the move and for using whilst others are watching the TV. Isolation is very good but not 100% (but I wouldn't expect 100%) - plenty good enough for my purposes and a massive improvement on the bundled earphones you get with most music-players. They are tough headphones that I have no worries about throwing loose into my bag. They have survived being sat on a couple of times (but it is something that I'd rather avoid). They are a little harder to drive than bundled headphones but this is not a problem - I use them with a Sansa Clip+, PC (via Creative headphone socket on speaker volume control), laptop and also plugged into my Rotel amplifier. Sometimes I put the volume on the Sansa to maximum but only when I want the music LOUD and the recording is made at a relatively low level. Everything else is ample when kept well below maximum on all sources. The 'basic' edition model comes with a 1.5m (steel) cable and a right-angle jack - 3.5mm with a screw-on 6.3mm adapter. The cable is a good thickness, 'figure-of-eight' type cross-section and does not tangle or knot easily. As with the 'full' edition - all parts are replaceable. All in all, I'd say that these are good all-round headphones that give good sound-quality and isolation whilst being rugged enough to cope with day-to-day on-the-move 'personal-stereo' use - but are just as 'at home' for use at home.

Sennheiser HD25’s are by no shadow of a doubt - the best headphones you can buy. Just watch any video of a world class DJ who uses over the ear headphones and it will be a pair of these They have one of the greatest and smoothest frequency responses out there - they’re not the most exciting, as they won’t hype up your bass frequencies or boost the airy end of the treble, but they will play your music exactly how it should be heard, no more, no less The isolation is pretty damn good, without feeling underwater, and it means you can listen to music in bed without your partner getting annoyed of the tinny hiss of music leaking from the headphones They’re built solidly too - they feel like pure quality and haven’t needed hidden weights adding to them in order for them to feel more premium (not mentioning names Dr Dre...) and there’s no rattle or wobble in any of the joints They’re also modular too so you can replace any part yourself instead of replacing the entire headphone if something breaks! And finally they are super comfortable, even on my tiny pea head - the cups are soft and don’t get sweaty, the split headband is great and they stay solid on your head without movement but also without crushing your head and giving you headaches. Just buy em. You won’t regret it!

Ero indeciso tra le sennheiser hd 25 o le AIAI TMA, per fortuna che ho scelto le HD 25. Le consiglio vivamente per un uso da DJ, per studio non ne ho le competenze, ma fino ad adesso sono le migliori che abbia mai provato. Vi consiglio di acquistare un CASE apposito per riporle, poiché sono molto delicate. Pro: - Qualità del suono - Insonorizzazione - Leggerezza Contro: - Prezzo un pò elevato - Delicate

NO DOUBT ITS TOO GOOD BUT THE PRICE HERE IS TOO HIGH , MY SON BOUGHT THE SAME FOR 12000 ON AMAZON.UK

Un excellent casque pour son prix, une qualité audio assez dingue sans avoir a dépenser des sommes monstres. Très bonne isolation sonore, parfait pour être tranquille et ne pas géner autour de soi. Quelques points importants : - Peut-être gênant pour les porteurs de lunettes, le casque serre très fort sur les oreilles et l'hélix du pavillon (bord externe de l'oreille) peut être comprimer contre vos branches, un réglage du casque et un redressage de branche et c'est nickel. - Votre source sonore doit être d'une bonne qualité, c'est limite limite avec un téléphone portable (Nexus 4), le casque donne vraiment son potentiel combiné avec une bonne source. Pour vous donner une idée, le son est à peu près au même volume lorsqu'il est au tiers sur mon Macbook Pro et lorsqu'il est au maximum sur mon téléphone... et la qualité s'en ressent, un portable a plus de mal a faire ressortir la dynamique. Cela n'empêche pas l'écoute avec son téléphone en nomade bien sûr :) Qualité oblige aussi sur vos fichiers et votre source numérique, oubliez tous vos mp3 en dessous de 320kbps, préférez du lossless (mais c'est pas toujours facile), vous allez voir, vous allez devenir très exigeants ! Une webradio ou un live mal mixé sera délicate a appréhender... - Après une longue écoute ou si vous montez un peu trop le son pour en profiter, les tympans vous font savoir que c'était a leur goût, ça peut être une gène ou un léger bruit sourd pendant quelques secondes lorsque vous stopper le son net (l'isolation joue beaucoup). Préservez vos oreilles, faites des pauses ! Enfin, le casque semble très solide, et de toute manière le câble lâchera bien avant les speakers, un bon point puisqu'il est remplaçable !

Los Sennheiser HD21-1-II son actualmente un estándar en el mundo del sonido, el mundo del sonido enfocado, mayoritariamente, al DJ, aunque por supuesto vas a poder disfrutar de ellos sea cual sea tu oficio o simplemente para disfrutar escuchando música. - Contamos con 70 Ohmios, en mi opinión, la mejor impedancia para un uso enfocado al DJ y para un uso normal de los auriculares. - La caja contiene los auriculares con sus respectivos libros de información y el adaptador MINIJACK TRS a JACK TRS - Echo en falta una funda para su transporte y protección. Una bolsita negra, típica, hubiera bastado - Muy cómodos eso si, tener en cuenta que vuestra oreja no entra dentro del acolchado de alrededor del auricular, que se que hay gente que busca ese tipo de auriculares. - Las almohadillas son intercambiables. Eso si, el pack no contiene almohadillas para cambiar, seria una compra que tendrías que realizar a parte. - El cable tiene una longitud de 150 cm, creo que es una medida correctisima. He probado muchos auriculares, ya que trabajo en el mundo del sonido, y sin dudarlo estos auriculares son los mejores. Hasta el momento no he encontrado ningún otro auricular que pueda sustituir a este monstruo, después de haber probado marcas como Beats y Pioneer (precio similares) me quedo sin duda con estos Sennheiser. Resumiendo, llevo usando los Sennheriser HD 25-1-II 1 año y medio, todos los días y te puedo decir que son unos de los mejores, por no decir los mejores, auriculares del mercado y por supuesto te recomiendo que los compres.

Was expecting something that looks like the photos, but received the older model. Not too happy at first but the quality of the older model is still really good.
