Sennheiser Professional HD 25 On-Ear DJ Headphones

Product Information

I just want something that can cover the genres that the HD25 ALU isn’t so good at, such as having a better soundstage and a warmer sound. The great benefit with the HD 25 is the amount of isolation they provide given their weight and their unique signature sound.

If you’re after wired on-ear headphones, it’s difficult to argue against the new Sennheiser HD 25 being the best-value option around. The cable connections at the earcup can begin losing contact, and you’ll need to bend the contact surface back into place with a needle. But when you deliver such a quality sonic experience, the accessories or lack thereof hardly seem to matter. Though these headphones have been around for decades, they remain timelessly modern and simple, with a clear-cut finish.While there is certainly a serious bass presence, it's not overly exaggerated, and the lows are also matched by highly articulate mids and highs. Originally distributed to airline passengers to combat the loud engine noise on Concorde flights back in the 1980s, Sennheiser’s HD 25 headphones are already very highly regarded in the professional audio arena, long having been a favourite of studio owners and DJs in particular (in fact they feature in our guide to the best DJ headphones ). The lightness of the fit is excellent, especially for long sessions, plus they’re a great pair of headphones for broadcasting or podcasting due to their closed-back design.

The sound is mind-blowing*, no coloration and I didn't notice any holes in frequency spectrum either.You will have more protection and focus in loud environments with these headphones ear pads, but you might not enjoy the listening experience much. Due to their low weight and the option of one-ear listening, the HD 25 headphones are indispensable for mobile monitoring. The earpad cushions and pencil-thin headband pads are made of a synthetic material that can feel a bit sweaty at times, but these are hardwearing headphones with replaceable components that range from the earpads to the 1. Light on accessories—an extra cable with phone controls would've made this a more versatile purchase. The sound quality of these headphones is well known amongst musicians and audiophiles alike and is almost always praised it’s a very detailed and accurate sound with a balanced response.

These are headphones you can invest in and enjoy for years, despite the tough settings that DJ equipment often must endure. The soundstage could do with being a little wider, but instrument separation and stereo imaging are effective nonetheless. Despite that bass bump, there was still plenty of bottom end punch, mid-range clarity and top end detail across all systems.Fun fact: It was precisely because of its good shielding that the HD-25 was the headphone of choice on board British Airways' Concorde aircraft. Ask most DJs and audio professionals and they’ll tell you that any true expert will have a set of HD 25s in their tool kit. Lightweight and portable, these headphones will withstand every trip and DJ set, plus they come with a range of package options to choose from. The HD 25 are precise, well balanced and reveal a substantial amount of detail without colouring the sound to any notable degree.
