> 3 dayI had a pair of $300 Pioneer DJ headphones I loved, but needed replaced. Decided to save 50% and give Sennheiser a try. Would I buy again? Hmm, honestly I wish I had spent the extra $150 and bought another pair of Pioneers, but I think for most people these will be adequate, I just dont think they are perfectly suited to bass-heavy EDM.

> 3 dayIve 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.

> 3 dayI was super in-between buying these or the ATH-M50X as a pair of headphones for some entry-level mixing. Im really happy that I decided to buy these ones as they work perfect for what Im looking for. Theyre super lightweight and they dont really squeeze your head very much - so lots of points for comfort! I also really enjoy the sound quality of these headphones. As someone who doesnt have a lot of experience with over-ear headphones, I think this was a great purchase as my first pair. They have great mids/lows and in my opinion the perfect amount of bass. This makes for really good listening for any edm tracks which is what I primarily mix. Although these headphones arent specifically noise cancellation, they do also isolate sound very well. Im taking one star off for these headphones because Im a little unimpressed by their quality. If I hadnt done any kind of research and looked at these in a store, I would have not been impressed. They feel a little cheap in my opinion for being $150 and the padding around the ears/top of the head is very plasticy. Despite this, I would still buy these headphones because Im really impressed with their sound quality, comfort, and their sound isolation.

09-06-2025Well, I was hoping for the yellow anniversary edition as depicted in photo but that wouldn’t make it sound any better. Excellent deal for $100. A bit heavy on the bass for me personally but I use my device’s equalizer and chose the “reduce bass” setting. Open back so pick a quiet environment to listen in. Recommended.

> 3 daySennheiser 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!

> 3 dayAbsolutely incredible. Words can’t even describe. Produce for over 5 years and have always been looking for some quality headphones that are accurate “sonically”. I can’t always use my KRK monitors and sometimes those don’t even provide a proper bass reference. These are amazing. If you’re like me, you like to study music and figure out all the tricks in a song. These let you truly listen to every layer. Made me go back and listen to all my favorite artist. It’s a whole different experience.. if you’re worried about the price, it’s a great investment just like any gear!!! 100/10

> 3 dayI’m really disappointed with these. I bought a pair about 10 years ago and the sound is way better. The reason I bought these was an issue with one of the wires on my old ones. The sound is really just ok not worth the price for me. Then top it off the left side is lower in sound. Really not happy here.

> 3 dayAnyone who works in a DJ booth, especially mobile, knows that headphone cords can get tangled or interfere with movement. While some dont care about this, others like myself prefer to use a spiral cord that contracts and expands to stay out of the way while giving flexibility. If a DJ is running multiple programs, lights, etc., or working a private event like a wedding, these are simply not good enough. I imagine they are great for listening and the lightweight is good for longer events, but for most DJs who dislike tripping on cords or getting hung up, this is a poorer option than wireless. I recommend these only if you dont mind getting tangled up in long fixed cords or want to look cool in your bedroom.

> 3 dayGreat, lightweight headphones. Not the best noise isolation overall but you can’t expect that from on ear headphones such as these. Super lightweight and comfortable but I would highly recommend upgrading the ear pads as the original ones are slightly thin and not super padded. Super loud without much reduction in the sound quality when used with my DDJ-RX controller. 5/5 with and ear pad upgrade, 4.5/5 without

> 3 dayI got these instead of the pioneer x7 because they were a little cheaper and because a few reviews of the x7 said they break after a year. The hd25 arent as comfy as the x7 becuase the earcups are kinda small and the hd25 sound isnt as good as the x7 in the low end the hd25 start to break up and distort. The hd25 do come with replacement earcup wires in case your wires go bad. The hd25 cancel outside noise well and are loud enough to handle a club environment with heavy bass. Overall happy with the purchase.
