Review: Wow great sound, great headphones - Wow love these. I am not a DJ, but was looking for a pair of wired headphones and these fit the bill perfectly. So light as the name suggests, but I mean they are so light. They are so comfortable, snug fit over/on the ears and when not in use just sit comfortably hanging around your neck. The sound, fantastic. So much detail and high quality on every nuance of sound. Have always love Sennheiser headphones and these are no different. Highly recommend these.
Review: Punchy, rich sound. - Pros Punchy, dynamic sound - easily the most immediate-sounding Sennheisers I have tried. Excellent, crisp sound clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. The lows in particular have a rich, sonorous quality. Definite emphasis on low-end but without overwhelming the mids & highs - kick drums and bass tones really cut through the mix nicely, which is probably why they are so popular with DJ’s. There is an exceptional amount of detail in the overall soundstage. So much so I have pretty much abandoned my AKG reference headphones which were double the price but simply don’t compare to the listening experience of the HD-25’s. They are addictively good. Comfortable ear pads and headband with great flexibility due to the split option. The ear pads don’t have to be sat perfectly on your ears to carry the sound fully which is superb. They feel light and unobtrusive on your head. Cons Cable is a tad short. Cable is a little rigid due to its rectangular, dual shape and keeps kinking in places due to how it has been folded. A circular or coiled cable would be so much better. Single-sided cable comes from the RH side - given that these are designed for DJ’ing that is not ideal for right-handed people. P.S. The way to tell which side is which (as they aren’t marked) is the visible red wire and RED = RIGHT. Summary These are dynamic, functional headphones specifically targeted at DJ’s. I wouldn’t recommend them for music production or studio work as they are not especially neutral, the cable is too short and they pinch a little after a few hours use. But for DJ’ing and general listening they are absolutely superb and I can’t imagine a superior alternative.
