The model I have is the HD 25-C II. They are almost reaching their 20th anniversary with almost daily use and many years in a DJ environment. I think that says a lot on its own. The only wear they have is on the ear pads, which I replaced with an extra pair that came with them when I bought them.
Now, onto the sound. They perform much better across the entire spectrum than much more expensive headphones. I would like a bit more response from 550 to 750hz, but you can't have it all.
However, the feature that really impresses me and truly has no competition is the isolation. While they may not seem like they would excel in this area due to their size, nothing gets through.
As for comfort, personally, they start to feel tight on my ears and make them sweat after 3 hours of use.
I bought them for 330 euros back then, and if the current model is of the same quality, they are extremely underrated at 175 euros. A purchase with closed eyes.
Excellent quality sound, especially in the treble, perhaps slightly lacking in volume and bass compared to other similar category and cost products. Overall, it is one of the best available at this price.
The most classic DJ headphones! I have had them for about a month and a half now, coming from Beats Mixr and I bought them for DJ use.
As for the sound, I don't need to say much. Excellent sound, flatter than my previous headphones, and also very good sound isolation from the speakers. Also very lightweight and very comfortable, even after many hours of use.
This particular version comes with two cables, a small straight 1.5m one and a coiled one that reaches 2.4-3m, and if you're using them for DJing, it's perfect because it doesn't restrict your movement.
The negatives I found are 3:
1. The case they provide in the package is a simple fabric bag, which I think doesn't protect the headphones at all if you carry them in a bag or suitcase. I would like a harder case to provide better protection.
2. The headphones are made of plastic, which does make them very lightweight, but to be honest, it seems to me that they are quite fragile, and given that the carrying bag is just fabric, if you don't buy an additional hard case, it is very likely that they will break, either during transportation or in general use if you're not careful.
3. The last negative I can point out is that the coiled cable is heavy, which results in it "pulling" you from the side of the cable.
In general, my conclusion is that the headphones are excellent, and if you invest in a hard case for their transportation and if you are careful during use, you have nothing to fear.
Having changed several pairs of headphones, I consider these specific headphones to offer good sound quality, very lightweight and comfortable even after prolonged use. The main advantage is that almost all parts of the headphones are replaceable.
In addition to the Sennheiser HD 25 Plus packaging, there are extra ear cushions, a carrying case, and 2 cables (coiled & straight).
I have had them for about 1 year and I can say that they are really worth their money!
I am a DJ and I have changed and experimented with many headphones over time and after a lot of searching, I ended up with these!
Very high-quality sound... comfortable and not tiring even after many hours of use...
if something breaks, all parts can be replaced...
and this HD25 Plus series comes with 2 cables (one coiled and one straight) which is why I preferred it, in case one breaks, I have a second one for the same price as the other versions!
