All user reviews for the Sennheiser HD 25

Update: I use this headset for almost two years in various situations.

The headphone has the enormous advantage of being perfectly positioned on the top of your head and this thanks to a hoop that can be more or less "gap" (see photo). Result: excellent comfort. In terms of sound quality, no complaints: excellent sound, clean, clean ... excellent performance, but a little too generous in the bass.

Once placed on the head, you end up alone ... with your music or sound recording, even at a very low noise level, you are completely isolated in this headphone noisy sound environment is therefore wonders.

Other interesting details: the headphone is completely disassembled, the left leg is articulated, many options are available ... The packaging is well done ...

At the "disadvantages": its advantages are its flaws. The headphones isolate background noise and to do it a little greenhouse. If it goes unnoticed without glasses, with it's painful. The cable is short which is great to use as a DJ since we do not get tangled in it, in the studio or if you need some freedom of action it quickly becomes annoying, but changing the cable remains possible. Performance is excellent, but as mentioned below in case of strong amplification we find ourselves with a gallery by regulating the knob the amp between 0 and 1 of 10 so that the sound is not too strong.

Finally, the only real snag is the price in the table, but once the shock of opening the wallet password, there is nothing to regret it is a joy: super sound, headphones, high quality, short , it was worth the money!

I do it again this choice without any hesitation

FYI, I paid 280 CHF (180 Euros) in summer 2002

- 0.5 point for the cable really too short which is really annoying depending on the use that is made
- 0.5 point for the lack of comfort during prolonged use with glasses worn

My rating does not change: 9 out of 10

I use this headset for about two years, with video monitoring (on camra) mainly, and sometimes on TV set.

What is very apprciable: sound insulation from the trs important collection outdoor (I had tried other headphones, none afforded such attnuation). Side of the mdaille: a relatively strong pressure on the ears. Another strong point is understood well trs attack - a real magnifying glass.
Personally, I like the short cable and plug jack 3.5 elbow. Suitable for DV camra, not tearing it, do not dtruit the socket of a camra ds plerin password cot practice in the demos .
It finally offers an efficient trs, which allows a proper level without pushing the headphone amplifiers Camre, often quite lame. It can be a powerful amplifier with inconvnient: the potentiomtre RULES is a dixime turn.

What is Gnant: it is frankly gnreux in the lower. In video, with microphones and 70Hz limits vote, not a problem. But can become rdhibitoire for monitoring the studio to music whose low end is rich, kind cinma soundtrack, the sound is dull, mouth the whole spectrum seems to DCAL low. It was a little tired also tends (acute but prcis lgrement agrssifs).

I test three or four MODELS at my purchase. I remember-references, but I m'tais focal isolation, this is really what guides my choice.

In the end, a headphone use pro destiny SPECIFICATIONS trs. Gnial for what I do. To avoid me in the studio. The ratio quality-price is right. Those are just a few budget will turn to the HD25-SP, cheaper, enough for ENG use, but I think less robust and comes with a cable from 3M of 6.35mm jack. I would do without this choice hsiter.

I use it only for the mix on turntables and I think this headset is quite simply a must-REFERENCE.

In terms of sound, nothing wrong ... the sound is crystal clear! In addition, the insulation against noise-trs collection outdoor allows you to mix low volume in the headphones and so prolong the life of our Pitit zoreilles!

Cot practice, the headphone is good and the head stays in place. I wear glasses and I do not t gn by the headphone. J'hsitais between an HD 25 and HD 25 SP but I quickly saw the diffrence in sound and most importantly, the possibility of replacing all the spices of the HD 25.

In short, this headset is perfect for the use I make (mix) and I would do the same choice without hsiter.
Dipstick bought to life ... so the price is worth it!

First, specify the context, I use these headphones primarily at night (I'm dj), also home listening. Bcp I tried to insist on the part of the ergonomic review, which I think is extremely important for a dj.

Level mechanical / ergonomic
The first two things that strike, in my opinion, what are the dimensions (it is very small and very light), and the simplicity of the frame.

No joints in all directions, tricks of the ergonomic Sony MDR 1200 or technics. Even if the headphone has a lot of settings, one is struck by the mechanical simplicity of the whole, and by corollary, its robustness. Everything revolves around two screws, no torque on plastic parts. In short, from a Sony MDR 700, I'm sure the plastic does not Petera in a few months due to torsion or shear. A very good point for headphones of this price.

In terms of ergonomics, we can find a stable position, which is used the headset with one or both ears. The listening ear is facilitated by the pivoting of the atrium opposite the one receiving the headphone. At most feel like a squeezing a little hard on the ears (the atria do not cover the whole ear) - is a bit annoying when you have glasses, but that's the price of the insulation acoustic headphones (I will return).

Another interesting thing, the headphone is made entirely symmetrical, ie it will react the same way you use it with the cable left or right (which was not the case sony mdr 700, where the joints do not react the same way that we put the cable on the left or right). Purists will answer that does not return a headphone, it reverses the stereo, but, frankly, djing, who cares. on the other hand, it's interesting to have the cable at the ear is used.

A little less ergonomic, is that the quick check (basically, you take a second headset that brings qq to the ear to check the beat-matching) is not easy. 25sp from the hd and sony mdr 700, which are very strong in this area with their multiple axes of rotation, I find this a shame, but it is related to the mechanical architecture of the headphone (you can not have butter and ...) It is not easy to calibrate the on the ear with the shoulder, if you use your headphone like that, choose another model.

The cable is quite short (1.5m) and very end, it ends with a bent end (good, less stress on the connector and less discomfort in the console) which receives an adapter 3.5/6.35. The relatively small size of the cable is both an advantage and a disadvantage: we do not take their feet in (what happened to me dozens of times with the hd 25 sp), but it will remove the headphones to go search for records. I would have 50cm long, but I'm glad Sennheiser cable does not use "phone", bcp more heavy, bulky and awkward (in my opinion). Note that the cable comes on a single headset (good compared to the hd 25 sp) and is replaceable.

Moreover, almost all parts of the headphone are easily replaceable, which is an advantage and bcp lengthen the life of the headphone. The mechanical simplicity still paying in this area.
Noise level
The hallmark of this headset is its isolation from the environment, and actually is very impressive. Basically, the attenuation of ambient noise is such that we can work with a moderate level (your ears will thank you). This characteristic is so marked that it takes a little getting used to having no room at the back of the ear you use for the preview. Once you get used to it, it's a huge advantage.

As a closed headphone, the bass is a little slobbery, but nothing dramatic, it is still in a good stereo headset (I compared with a relatively open Philips high-end, the Sennheiser did nothing to be ashamed). I find the treble a little behind, it is subjective and may be due to auditory fatigue, but it can be a bit annoying to mix if you synchronize the rhythm on the treble.

Finally, the headphone has an excellent performance, high power can cash before you say an inch, you'll be deaf before he surrendered.

Conclusion
A headphone serious, robust, good quality sound and built to last. If you are a fashion victim, go your way, if you look good no frills tool to assist you in recent years, the ideal candidate. Recommended.
