Sennheiser HD 25 Aluminum

The Sennheiser HD 25 Aluminum is a well-designed, high-performing pair of DJ-friendly headphones.

Excellent audio performance, with well-defined bass response and articulate mids and highs. Comfortable over long listening periods, with an ideal design for DJ use. Removable cable.

Light on accessories—an extra cable with phone controls would've made this a more versatile purchase.

For the money, the Sennheiser HD 25 Aluminum doesn't come with much—just a cable, adapter, and carrying case. But when you deliver such a quality sonic experience, the accessories or lack thereof hardly seem to matter. It's expensive, but the HD 25...

Sennheiser HD 25-1

Sennheiser's HD25-1 is perhaps a one of a kind headphone, with no other manufacturer offering anything similar to what the HD25-1 has.

NO GOOD: Small soundstage.

Sennheiser HD 25 Aluminum

The Sennheiser HD 25 Aluminum is a well-designed, high-performing pair of DJ-friendly headphones.

On tracks with intense sub-bass content, like the Knife’s “Silent Shout,” the HD 25 Aluminum behaves as you’d expect a pro-level DJ headphone pair to. It delivers the low-end cleanly and clearly, with no distortion even at top, unsafe listening levels....

VERY SAD

I had high hopes for these headphones, I've had them about a week and am very disappointed with them, and am returning them today. They look and feel very cheap. i love this brand so was very surprised by how awful they were.

Overall, a pain in the butt to use

The best feature about these headphones is that it's very lightweight and the material its made of, including the cord, appears to be indestructible.

Lightweight, long cord, replaceable parts

Flimsy feel, bottom-heavy

Great Headphones!

The HD 25 SP is a sealed headphone that rests on your ear rather than around it. I bought these headphones for use in a college dorm. I'm no audiophile, but I do love my music and the sound impressed me very much, the bass is amazing. I could hear...
