All user reviews of 5/5 for the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II

I am not an expert in n'suis headset nearby, I wanted to base the model on the advice of a friend who is licensing its technical ... supposedly it was a standard blablabla ... I tried a Bose (models j'm'en remember dsl), which frankly was not bad, but nothing more, a audiotechnica not great either, plus a few others I can not remember absolutely (dsl is True, it's been a few tourists ...)

HD 25 really made me feel good, the sound is excellent (good bass (maybe a bit too much), midrange and treble faithful without being aggressive, good dynamic) ... store with an iphone was not bad, my house was much better! (Output sound card with good. Flac, AC disconnects race!)

not tried to mix, it will come I try to gently computer music

I think I will complete over time (especially for strength), but from what I have tried is the one that really stuck eardrums!

flaw: I'm not Dumbo, but after a while he'm having ears ... is the price to pay for a good sound on the ears!
Note also that it is not well insulated (ok it's not the point) ... dipstick when purchased, I took the train back home ... j'me pose with my playlist, I press play, and I see people who look at me strangely ... removing the headphone ears, I realized ... while the car could hear Andy Timmons rape his ibanez!

9 / 10, perfection does not exist)

-) How long have you use it?

For the past two months.

-) Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Before that I had a Pio HDJ-1000 and a Shure SRH-750 DJ.

-) What is so special that you love the most, least?

The pros:

- Lightweight
- Maintain the head well
- Powerful Sound!
- Completely boneless

The -:

- The design perhaps, but it's really to quibble

-) How would you rate the quality / price?

Very good, much better than the crap of HDJ-1000 I had before.

-) With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Clearly yes.
I always wonder why all the DJs (almost) used it, bah once I realized the ears. This balance of powerful sound with slamming bass perfectly. It is very light and is very well head. I squeezed it too often read elsewhere, I can not find, however (perhaps because I have a small head). You can move behind the decks, the headphone is in place. And the top is perhaps that it is indestructible. I still lack experience in this respect there, but a friend has a DJette HD25 for over 10 years and it is always impeccable. A value of course!

Yes I tried the headphones that were not worth as much as WESC Bongo is not even comparable, I had an HD-205 but also a WESC Bagpipe me it still impressed by the power of sound and the definition (it was still a little mess!) but I still sell the account to buy an analog mixer. I used some headphones because I needed just to listen, the mix of my primary sound was done without too much trouble with the bagpipe, the final I did great on Genelec monitors but not mine , failing to put his very home, so I opted for a precise and powerful studio headphones, the HD 25-1 II! I'm not disappointed.

</strong></span> </ul> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pros:</span>

- The excellent sound quality / powerful bass and clear mids and highs but powerful crystal.
- No frequency actually increased (low normal) which does not prevent low to be much more powerful and the sound pressure is much higher than other headphones, the headphone is neutral and great for mixing / computer music .
- The <span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span> comfort, the headphone is closed, means much more when it is snug on the ears, it can be painful in the long run, but it's nothing serious, especially since I put the pads and velvet it's really a dream!
- The aesthetics, the headphone throw, it is a bit rough like that but he really look like.
- It is fully removable and customizable same time! no hassle to change a defective part

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cons:
</span>
- The cable that I had with a 1.5 m right-angled plug, not super practical and even aesthetic, but again we can change it without worries.
- The price of a spiral cable! (Within 45 €)

I think I go around this headset deserves its reputation.

I got it for 155 € (no it is not the limited edition oddly cheaper) and frankly it's the price that must be put quietly to 200 € I think. Excellent value for money!

Yes probably, this headphone is good at everything, even the sound etc.. I do not think me a coward not need to buy one but if I were to buy a headphone without doubt I would take this one, I strongly recommend it to people who are interested in audiovisual, computer music, and even I think a powerful and enjoyable listening (comfort and isolation from outside noise).</strong></span>

Not being a professional, my opinion is mostly that of a lover of music.

For how long have you been using it?

About a week.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Yes, hd 380, hd 280, sennheiser hd 595 (no comparison), ath m50 (very comfortable, really well done and quite beautiful, its very correct, but not as good as flat spatialization), AKG K240, AKG K271, AKG K701 (I recommend it to anyone who can afford), Grado SR 60/80, Sony 7506 (very dry, surgical, although probably not for work but very enjoyable if not), beyer 770 ... I know it's a mixture of open / closed, "monitoring" / fi but good ^ ^

I did look at this playlist: hendrix - hey joe (live at berkeley) daft punk - short circuit, Bumblefoot - normal, taj mahal & the hula blues band - african herbman, high tone - northern lights, gorillaz - kids with guns , retrigger - Jeanie & Caroline, Jaco Pastorius - i shot the sheriff, Joanna Newsom - bridges and baloons, Dave Pike - Sunny, dr. dre - let me ride, Bill Withers - Who Is He, J-Walk - French Letter of vivaldi (remember the exact title dsl), Wax Tailor - There Is danger and dj krush - song 1.
The files are either flac or by 320.
It is on a global interception that I chose the HD 25. After up to you depending on what you hear. For example, on jazz, the M50, the 770 and the K271 sounds better to my taste.
What thing do you like most/least about it?

The PLUS
The low round, slapping, very realistic without erasing the other frequencies. They impressed upon first listen! (Try it if you kids with guns and "under the influence)
The crystalline highs, absolutely not garish. Mediums present and mild.
The sound in general, there is a sense of clarity, rendering is very nice, no aggression. Moreover, the increase in volume will not interfere with this little gem, the sound remains the same, just louder.
The spatialization, compared to the models mentioned above, I think it's one of the most efficient (or even the most powerful ^ ^)
The isolation, it is really cut off from the outside world. Which is pretty good for a closed headphone you tell me
The appearance and design. Very crude, we like it or not.
Being able to change all the parts and quite easily (it took me just 5 minutes to change pads)

The LESS:
The headphone does not strike me as flat as they say ... So for the monitoring, I think this compromise. on the other hand, a DJ will be happy!
The comfort or lack of comfort ... The pressure on the ears is strong enough, I'll see if it's getting better with time. Spectacle wearer attention (I and after a while it hurts ..)
What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Paid 170 euros, I find it correct.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

Experience very low at the moment ^ ^ But as I compared to many other headphones of the same price range (between 100 and 200) and that it seemed like the best, I say yes

Conclusion: This headphone is a reference, and it goes very quickly realize why.
Rq: inhabitants of Paris, will test the headsets in magma, the universe, are also a few stores to Pigalle.

I just tried.
Actually it's a very good headset.

I'm not a pro sennheiser, I tested the different models only the HD 202 and it seem worthwhile.

The Monitor qualifier can be used for this headphone because it is not neutral as some 7506 separate dynamics that!!

The low down low, beware, it can cause deafness without irony, he has this reputation among the sound engineer) because the bass is deep, and as he has a really top quality audio you push the volume with a dynamic which makes us well!
The medium is well placed as the treble, to be very demanding we require a bit more transparency but it set the bar very high.

It is my opinion that much more commendable Akg that are very well in terms of neutrality (K241 to K271) but enough to lag behind in terms of dynamics systematically.
The Grado Sr60/Sr80 are very good but is a later addition but not really audiophile Monitor!

Don Quick is a very good headphone, a hair clamp makes it fairly comfortable over several hours, but I think some of velvet earpieces are arranged to reduce any heat on the ears with more good acoustic bonus therefore highly recommendable and took a justified!!

This is version 2 (I do not know what it brings compared to 1, there is also a version that must be avoided Eco !!!).

It is a headphone that I discovered that late when I bought the Xd53, but I do not think I'll put my choice into question because it seems to go further in terms of return dynamics when recording Hearing and links up to it!!
I discovered

For how long have you been using it?
I use it for a year, he follows me everywhere

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Before I owned a Sony MDR-V300 which I was pleased, but he began to show signs of age (purchased in 2003). And if not WESC, Sennheiser, Pioneer ...

What thing do you like most/least about it?
What I like the compactness, modularity, its (obviously) and isolation (passive but for what type of headphone)
The least of the forms at the oxidation level of headphones ... But it is disconnected and reconnects and here we go again! The headphone tightly in the beginning but I think my head was correct in its rigidity, it is now much less rigid.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
The value for money is good (in my opinion). I was still accustomed to the range below, it seems to me honest for this price.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Clearly yes.

For how long have you been using it?
Since Christmas 2010 to present.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Pioneer SE MJ5 a yes, a real S*** to be rated.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Pros:
- Perfect insulation in noisy environments.
- A qualitée sound really great.
- Neutrality.
- Lightweight and very strong.

Cons:
- It may sound increased in intensity so that it can be dangerous, but hey it's not really a fault. Otherwise I would have not found any flaws.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Certe 185 euros it's not cheap but it's worth it, I use it for mixing, for the town with my iPod, and frankly I do not regret having made this price point.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Sometimes twice a day!

I would add a touch of 9 / 10 because nothing is perfect.

* For how long have you been using it?
Bought it about a month ago. I had the opportunity to make an evening with.
I use it very often, if not with an iPod.

* What thing do you like most/least about it?

+: The sound quality, isolation capacity (true more for listening accurate). Its lightweight and compact which makes more use of real mix because you do not feel they have a huge headphone around the neck. His arch and its very simple system of rotation of a listener are highly efficient with a little practice. The headphone is placed as desired. And it does not slip saw his lightweight (300 g I think).
-: Design though ..... it's like the BMW motorcycle: it's ugly but we made it!

* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
A copy of chinoiserie Mac Mah Pioneer headphones. I do commend so much the sound difference is important.
* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent. 155 euro may seem an amount in view of the look of the headphone but simply pass on their heads and listen ..... We moved!
* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
No problem. For me (and many others) THE DJ headphones ideal. Nothing to do with marketing products Pioneer, Technics and other Monster ....

This headphone is super efficient, super bright and is capabble very powerful level (120 dB).
Bravo Mr Sennheiser we offer over 10 years this great product. The upcoming new version of this model to a sacred pressure!

Comparative in connection with the acquisition of a headphone for the control of Design Studio Monitoring Audio.
headphones tested: Grado SR-80; MHII AKG K-240, Sennheiser HD25-1 II BeyerDynamic DT-880 Pro, Shure SHR 840

Preferred Features: Neutrality; Comfort, Dynamic Capacity, Quality of bass.

Immediately BeyerDynamic DT-880 Pro is a headphone apart; very comfortable with basic audio quality above the average but totally degreased, which makes a headphone in my opinion totally inadequate control monitoring.
The Grado is primarily a headphone monitor unpretentious and yet its outstanding audio qualities allow him to pretend it is clear that the accommodation offered is not suitable for prolonged use and is not intended to be used in noisy environments!
The Sennheiser HD 25 is the saying, a reference in the field. This is the headphone monitoring and uncompromising. Neutral, highly dynamic down really low in the bass but also lack of comfort for prolonged use. I blame him a bit, however, shorten the upper register and a lack of articulation in the bass (A review after running !?)... the + means any damaged parts can easily be replaced!; the lightness 6 -: absent finishes, hardware aspect, price too high, it could have been my choice but 90euros!
The AKG is a serious lack of neutrality to pretend to control bass and lack of cleanliness, but what comfort and what design! ...

I chose to end the Shure SHR 840 which surprised me a lot (like what prejudices !...).
In fact he took the bundle of qualities with Sennheiser, and more: the palm of comfort (it shares with the AKG), a bass that goes well beyond the hairline and in other joint and a wider frequency response in point I am trying to test it by using audiophile and I can not put it in default making it ultimately a versatile headphone, but Is not it just there, the recognition of a very high quality !?... The pros: removable cable!; very well made and finished, comes with spare foams - the -: I'm still looking
