Sennheiser Professional HD 25 PLUS On-Ear Monitor Headphones

I 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.

I’ve been a DJ for 40 years and always knew of these but never got a pair or even tried them. I was super late to this party (lol) but they definitely are what everyone says they are. AMAZING

If you need the best you know what to order.

Okay

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

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.

These headphones sound very good and can get LOUD. I took a chance on these as Ive seen many DJs and producers use them. As a DJ myself, Ive used many different headphones from all different price points. Although I love how these sound, the build quality is awful. All cheap plastic construction and faux leather on the earcups and headband that rips/wears very easy. Ill stick with my Audio Technica ATH-M60x headphones. MUCH better build quality and just slightly flatter sound. The HD 25s have slightly boosted low frequencies. Overall these are overrated. Ive been told the older models were better quality.

My oh my, do these live up to the expectations I had. I bought these mainly as a pair of DJing headphones. I needed something with just a tad more bass, and a good amount of sound isolation. Lightweight, comfortable, and low profile. This definitely is the perfect pair, Im glad I chose them. The sound quality is wonderful, Ive come to expect nothing but the best from Seinheiser. The bass does seem just a bit more present than standard flat studio headphones, but I like that as I already have some very flat headphones and monitors and Id like something to be able to tone my basses properly when producing. They seem ridiculously light for how powerful and functional they are. Though the grasp is firm, I wouldnt worry its not uncomfortable at all, just snug. Ill update my review when I actually get to take em out for a gig soon!

My 2nd pair that I use for dj gigs. Great sound quality and durable.

Evaluating audio equipment is always subjective, take that as a given. These phones have very good sound clarity with minimal false coloring across all frequencies and provide a noticeable depth of sound stage. They have some emphasis on bass, but it avoids being boomy or otherwise intrusive for most listening. My only issue, rather minor at that, is a somewhat tight fit. A bit looser headband and less pressure on the ears would lead me to rate them higher. Sensitivity is quite low. With my smartphone, an LG V20, a volume level of less than 50% of maximum provides plenty of volume, a lower setting than any other phones I have used.
