Sennheiser HD-25 5-stars Reviews

hidden gem

originally got these strictly for Dj'ing. Been using them for almost a year for that. Never listened to music on them really. They are great DJ headphones.

After getting the urge to upgrade my headphones from my long time mdr7506's (over 15 years) to something more...…...punchy......I actually listened to some music on the hd25s with a critical ear and was surprised at the frequency response. I do like the bump on the mid lows especially since if you are listening to material with an extended bottom end these headphones will come to life. Great for doing referencing. Surprisingly after going out to listen to a few other closed headphones in the $100 to $250 range...…...

Beyers: too dang bright but so pretty n comfortable

ATH: muddy low end, might as well stick with my 7506s -

ATK: the more expensive models must be where the magic is happening

SHURE: again, 7506 might as well stay in bed

KRK: and one more time the 7506 say why are you giving me up for that?

I found myself in a bit of a confused state. In order to really improve the sound I'm getting with the 7506 and better the HD25 I would have to get into the $499 range which Im not really wanting to do at this time since I need to replace 2 pairs of 7506's.

I liked the sound of the HD25's better than the other phones. Nothing beats actually hearing what's out there because reviews for headphones...….yikes. I mean look at this one. THe HD 25s are revealing in their own way. Like the 7506's highs are not punishing if the source material was recorded well BUT if your source is drenched in skull splitting highs it will reveal that. Same with the low end. That's important. If the bottom is rolled off on like in in say country music and 70's pop, you hear just that, no exaggeration in the low end. Put on a modern rap track and they come with the Boom. Its not techno festival level boom of course, but its the kind of boom that is clearly defined and as long as you A / B with other source material (as with any headphones) you know well …..you can't go wrong really. HD 25s do what the 7506's did for me all these years but with more GUSTO. Much more defined.

But the HUGE negative which knocks off a star......and this is only for folks who want to use these as tracking or monitoring headphones...... is that the are not comfortable for extended use.

Or if you wear glasses (or ear-rings). I don't think they designed these strictly for DJ work but it seems that's what they were designed for. I looked at the other Sennheiser close back offerings and there was nothing that has THIS SOUND in a more comfy headphone. If only Sennheiser made this headphone with this sound with a larger cup with some foam they would be on to something I think. These are great sounding headphones. Don't let the size fool you. They are of course magical DJ headphones for obvious reasons but they do work as studio headphones if you can deal with the slight discomfort. I'm going to use these as 2nd option headphones in the studio, what a welcome "you already own them" surprise. Well that's enough hot air for now. Hope this is useful info.

Wicked!

I am a Techno DJ just replaced my beats ep by dr. dre to HD-25 gotta say feels more professional.

Very light, extremely stable, loud and comfortable.

It can feel like it is pressing your ears into brains in the beginning but it is okay mine adjusted to my ears after a few sessions.

As a techno dj I missed low frequencies a little bit but the highs and mids sounds perfect!

All in all the quality is in it's value.

Highly recommend these headphones for DJing.

for quality

amazing and "out of time" product!

First pair of Headphones for Producing, Mixing & Mastering, will 100% upgrade.

Great range and durability although the build may look untrustworthy, for the price I was pleasantly surprised. Closed back are exceptional at keeping outside noise spill out. Very professional. Highly sensitive and can sustain exposure to high sound levels and retain quality. Lightweight and comfortable for long durations of time as it is equipped with an over the ear style cup. Headband design ease of access is very fluid when working to and from the desk. No complaints so far with design and wiring has stayed in impeccable condition with good care applied.

The best headphones for dj and for field recordings. Super comfortable and you can spend hours and keep the headphones on with no stress for the ears.

Not the best in studio session because of isolation (but ok, are not been projected for the studio), I mean the microphone could catch some audio coming out from the headphones.

Fantastic headphones for field recording and DJing

These headphones fantastic - popular with DJs and field recordists/ film production mixers alike!

Best headphones in the market

For me personally HD 25s are the best headphones in the market. Have been using them for more than 10 years. Sound is excellent and build quality really good. After a few years, cable replacement could be required but it's really easy to fix. Perfect not only for DJing but for everyday use as well.

Simply amazing!

Sound and build quality are absolutely amazing and are worth the money. I use them regularly for almost everything, from daily commutes to sound design. Reccomended for camera operators and people who just want some very light headphones.

Classic DJ headphones.

I think maybe the best in the market...

I Like their durablle plastici...

Best dj headphones

This one are the best for djs who are on the road all the time.. Used to have Technics, which are more comfortable and with better outside noise isolation, but ruined 2 of them in few years. HD-25 on the other hand are almost indestructible :) Really best that money can offer!

You always know what you're getting with Sennheiser :)

I use these mostly for monitoring the audio when I'm making a track but I'm amazed how well they perform when DJing !

To be honest at first I thought that they'll be heavier. The design is slick and sexy but the build quality seems cheap and that is because of the plastic casing ( imho ).

If you want to use them just for listening music, these headphones are not for you. Some of my friends said that they lack low end and the mids are too loud but when you're in your studio you should either pair them up with your desired audio interface or search for other brands/models as these might not be the ones you should buy.

When I'm playing music these headphones do the trick for me. For all DJs out there looking for new hphones, get these! They work a wonder! No wonder all of the best have been using the same model for the past 20+ years!

All being said, you should document yourself why and if you should buy these as some might find wondering themselves why did they buy them in the first place.

excellent

everything i heard about them turned out to be true. amazing sound, simple and durable construction and they look cool! i ve had them for more than a year. i really have zero complaints

hd25

High quality and normal price. Ideal for dj's.

Perfect for Mastering and DJ'ing

Very pleased with mastering. Grabs all the highest and lowest possible. Best for the job.

Double Use (DJing & Production)

Best headphones for me,I am using for double jobs.

I really pleased with HD 25 <3

Great phones

I really like them. They sit well, don't hurt and cancel out outside noise well enough. They also go quite loud, definitely enough for my home setup!
