Written on: 12/03/2011

These are professional standard headphones, and are the ones chosen by well over half of the professional touring sound engineers I have worked with over the last 5 years. I have personally used mine while mixing monitors for the likes of ASH, Reel Big Fish, and The Futureheads. Some people have complained about build quality, no idea why, they are indestructible. In the time I have owned my HD-25s, I have worn out 3 pairs of shure in-ears, the HD-25s are still going strong.

Written on: 30/12/2009

I had been looking around for some headphones for a while, as my old ones broke. I picked up the sennheiser hd25's the other day and have been using them non-stop since. I chose them after trying out other brands (pioneer hdj2000's were the closest competitor, but for price I felt that these were the right ones). Very impressed with sound quality, design and weight of the product. Sound is crisp and very clear, similar to the sound quality of a reference monitor. Very pleased with the... (read more)

“Amazing sound, specially bass response.”

Written on: 03/08/2008 by monsieur E (1 review written)

Amazing sound, specially bass response.
Great for mixing and picking up things you don't hear on speakers.Can't use them for very long. Only for critical listening or bass work
Sore ears after 30mins or so. that real shame
Overall, so worth it. (read more)

Written on: 21/02/2008

I bought my pair just about 6 months ago and i reckon they stack up to anything in this sector. they've been used on a daily basis either mixing, monitoring or even wandering round town with an mp3 player.

They are perfect for checking a final mix or master as they'll pick up on issues i've never managed to hear on speakers. be careful though they can go very loud and this could easily lead to fatigue.

i'd recommend these to anyone as they'll cover every job u could ever think of in sound and... (read more)

Written on: 09/02/2008

Having used several monitoring headphones over the past ten years or so I've found these to be quite amazing in the clarity of reproduction. Mixing is a dream, translate fantastically to my Genelec 8030A's in an acoustically treated room. They really are good. Don't rely on panning cos there's no crossover with closed back design's but believe me you will hear every imperfection...Perfection. (read more)

I have had to have 2 sets of these units replaced under warranty , it seems to be bad connections in either left or right channel , starting off as a small crackle and turning into something you really need to manipulate to get any sound out of , these phones are great when they work , but getting them to is another story.

Written on: 27/08/2004 by Dorkstar

These Sennheisers rule. While other models from this maker are generally either cheap and forgettable or huge, these compact cans mean business. They're loud, and they'll tell you exactly what you're hearing. In this price range, you can find headphones that have a "slicker" sound, but none of them will be as versatile; I use mine for home listening, session monitoring in the studio, DJing and camera work.

The swiveling left-hand earcup and the split bridge headrest together make these the... (read more)

Written on: 31/01/2004 by Soundman (1 review written)

Sennheiser's HD-25 headphones are a legend in the pro audio world and became the industry standard almost as soon as they were released.

The first truly lightweight headphone, comfortable enough for prolonged use and delivering a sound quality that enables critical listening. Having used AKG, Beyer and many other headphones these are my favourite.

Why? First the build quality is superb almost every part of the unit can be replace if damaged, so if you snap a cable or tear off an ear pad... (read more)

Written on: 10/07/2003 by Rob.

I've had these headphones for around 2 years now and am generally pleased with their overall performance. The sound quality is decent but is not the best around. While there is a high level of detail in the presentation, they can sound slightly raw or bright particularly with very trebly music. Equally, the bass can seem a little lightweight on thunderous tracks but does retain focus.

Sadly, the build quality isn't that great, especially when you consider the price. Of note are the... (read more)

Written on: 11/04/2003 by robbie.

Well constructed and nice padding on ear they would probably be great if youre a dj but not if you like to hear anything other than sub. Top ends quite crisp but probably a bit prominant as well. Far far far too much bass. Can't listen for long periods without getting severe fatigue. For this price the sony mdr-7506 are a far better choice (read more)

Doe Joe.'s Response to 88188_robbie.'s Review

Written on: 26/07/2003

If it really is the HD25 you tried, and not the HD25 SP (which I suspect), you really are wrong - and that's not even an IMO thing. I agree that the bass is a little muffled around 80 Hz, but then the muffleness dissappear. This muffle will appear in any kind of closed phone - in contrast to open. The midrange is not over-emphasized - or un-present, but pretty natural - and so are the highs. The V6s (that are basically the same that you mentoned - 7506) has another kind of sound - IMO not that good - snce it has a smiling sound (eq.).

Pinkywinky's Response to 88188_robbie.'s Review

Written on: 20/03/2007

Actually I have some sympathy for this reviewer and to an extent the review is correct as the HD25s are designed for DJ use and NOT for audiophile listening. When the HD25s are used for DJing they are extremely good, however for audiophile headphones look towards Beyerdynamic as they generally display the more "natural" characteristics it seems you are looking for in music. They're considerably cheaper than the HDs too.

Written on: 10/04/2003 by Mirx.

Having used more less all the leading headphone brands including Sony MDR700, Technics RPDJ 1210,Pioneer HDJ 1000 etc. HD 25's are by far the best. The quality of sound is excellent offering extraordinarily deep bass, crystal clear middle and a crispy treble sound. Closed cup design provides a brilliant isolation from the outside noise making them perfect for both club dj-ing and studio use. They are light weight at only 140 gr. and therefore very comfortable for use over a long period. All... (read more)
