Sennheiser Professional HD 25 PLUS On-Ear Monitor Headphones

Okay

I got this headphone for my dj friend. He says it’s amazing. Recommended.

I thought Id upgrade to these after having a pair of Sony Professional over ears for the first few years I learned to DJ. These cost about 60 bucks more so I expected them to be great. Good: The sound on these is excellent and barely anything is lost with the on-ear design. Theyre lightweight and comfortable, you could mix with these for hours and your ears wont get sore or sweaty. Bad: Every negative thing about these comes down to the build quality. The rubber pads peel immediately after you start using them, right off the bat. The wire is super short, so these things get ripped off your head pretty frequently if youre active behind the decks. After that, it was about three months before the connectors started getting loose and making crackling noises and drops in volume. I constantly have to fiddle with the connectors to get the sound to come through correctly. The connectors are not enclosed, so its easy to bump them and loosen them. Eventually, the left one started to do the same. It was too far outside a return window to do anything about this and Im pretty unsatisfied with these. Stick with cheaper Sony headphones until you can go up one more tier and stay far away from these.

would be nice if manufacturer made some discounts on this product even 1 day in a year. and adding some additional wires and spare parts inside too. but quality is excellent, nothing to add. thanks to manufacturer again, we are happy

Sennheiser headphones have always performed! Near studio sound across models, but the HD 25s are superb! Not overdone bass like Beats, highs dont fall apart like Sony. The fit is snug on my big head. But, it does a great job filtering out room noise. Noise reduction is passive (non-electronic) which is a good thing! Active electronic noise filtering (Bose, Sony) affects sound quality. These headphones prove it once again. If you are looking for serious sound, pick up a pair of these!

currently I own HD25 2 sets, HD668b, Ath pro7x, DT1350, Koss PP, Ksc75, Oneodio studio, Status audio, JVC harx700, srh440, HD558, Koss Dj200 pro, JVC HA-S500, JVC HA-S400, HTF600, AKG240, but HD25 beats them all in sound quality department. Compare to M40x and m50 the bass is very tight, imaging is excellent for the cost of sound stage but treble and clarity is just excellent with good PRAT factor. It is not a very V shaped headphones, and a little bit mid bass hump makes is very fun to listen too. on the ear design makes the seal very tight to achieve good sound. construction is great. I bought 2 pairs last year and both look brand new till now. Its very hard to find another on-ear headphones to upgrade from this headphones, HD25 is just too perfect, but Oneodio studio over the ear offers almost same sound with the expense of maybe 15% sound clarity and it is just below $25. both HD25 and Oneodio pair very well with my Sansa Fuze plus and clip jam very well. They dont need extra power to drive them. for people with lower budget the Oneodio studio less than $25 is a better option.

Ive been using this model headphone for about 20 years professionally as a medical transcriptionist. Back in the day the cord was rubberized, non tangle and non kinking.. The phones themselves sounded great. I used them about 10 hours a day between work and recreationally. Fast forward to about 5 years ago when I bought a new pair after my original beloved set gave up the ghost and just fell apart. The cord was now a much cheaper plasticized cord that never straightened out and stayed permanently bent and kinked. One of the headphone wires developed a short or some sort of contact issue that made it stop working until the cord was unplugged from the speaker and then plugged back in. This happened constantly. Bear in mind that both cords going to both headphones are detachable and can be unplugged from the headset. So I bought yet another pair that had the same issue of sound shorting out in one headphone until the cord was unplugged and then replugged. This happened multiple times daily. Same cheapo plasticized cord. Then I Googled and discovered that the cord connection was the source of a problem for many people, some of whom offered self-fixes on YouTube or other websites. A new cord is outrageously expensive, in the 40-50 dollar range. So in my experience these are not what they used to be, not even close. Be aware of the cord shorting issue before you buy and think about whether you want to risk having the same issue that has plagued many owners of these headphones.

After only literally having these headphones for two weeks, the left ear is the only one playing any sound. I have encountered this issue before but usually after some reasonable wear and tear from using them out. Literally only used these once or twice and kept them secured in q case. For the price of $120 they are a total RIP OFF. Never purchasing again.

Great headphones but the wires are too thin and short out this is the second pair and time it’s done it in less than a year. As much as these are and for their intended user this design is an epic fail. Don’t waste your money. :( so sad.

I tested at least 20 headsets ($150 to $350 range), in the same location, at the same time, using my iphone, on the same song ( with very dynamic highs and lows, volume shifts, etc ) and these headphones blew every one of them away. The comparison to the others wasn’t even close. The bass response was so impressive, the mids very clean (not muffled) and the highs are so crisps and clean its hard to believe. You have to compare headphones side by side to really know how good a pair is. You can’t check one out then drive to another location and compare. So why a 4 star? I thought these headphones were made in Ireland. All the reviews, videos and pictures I saw show made in Ireland. Well, not any more. Sennheiser opened a new factory in Romania. Apparently this is where all the consumer electronics gear is now made. Sorry Romania nothing against you, but I feel, perhaps unjustified, more confidence in products from Ireland. Thats one reason why I bought. So a big let down with made in Romania for me. At least it didn’t say made in China. I would think the new factory in Romania is state of the art as it just opened so maybe Im wrong on this. But still disappointed.
