there are many models of hd25...please tell me which one is the best? which one should i go for?

the hd25 plus are the top of the line model

I need something with a balanced sound for live DJing in loud environments. Basically so I can cue in a new track while playing bass house or trap and be able to hear the lows (but also the highs). Would the 25's be sufficient in such environments even though the bass isn't primary? Thanks heaps man

@@jandlrockursocks it will serve you well. it's pretty closing out outside sound. The bass is not big in this pair, but good for mixing. definition is super.

Are they good? Do u have any problems with them and can u use them 1 ear on 1 ear off

@@alfiekennedy1657 HD 25´s are the best you can get for that price range and they can even be better than other more expensive ones. They isolate completely all the exterior noise (they were made for COMCORDE passengers so they couldnt hear the jet engines). Yes you can use one ear on andd other off,they rotate up and down on one of the sides.

@@alfiekennedy1657 There is an inherent design flaw with the HD25s in that the tiny spring within the capsule gets weak or damaged over time and the connection between it, and the removable cable becomes less solid. This results in drop outs. Custom cans use to have a replacement spring, which is better, and has solved the problem for many, however, it's discontinued. Other than this problem, they're great, but this is a huge problem with the headphones. I was able to fix mine while the spare springs were available. Bear in mind, the replacement of these springs is a fiddly job as well, and can damage the capsule beyond repair. Plenty of videos on youtube about it.

@@andrewford80 The latest HD25’S made in Romania have addressed this problem

@@RovexHD oh that's awesome!

I am confussed with these headphones, i see some with a single headband and one with a double headband. I am tryin to buy off www.lazada.com.ph and at the same time i really want to know what is legit. Please can you confirm for me which are the proper Sennhieser HD25 ? also what do you thik about the HD 280 Pro ?

is the hd 25 plus better?

@@antrixplays1236 it is same headphones, you just get extra cable, extra pads and a carrying case as plus.

the headband was an issue of aiaiai manufacture but it has been fixed since late 2013

Guillermo Tinoco Not really true actually. They still break easily and you can't replace them. Really waiting for the tma-2

DJ Kento Gee lucky they match your glasses and jordans...

apart from constant cable replacements...........AIAIAI

nah, i replace the cable in mine after 4 or 5 years of daily use. And the reason was the jack broke. And i sitted in that jack and bend it like 2 years before it finally broke.

Nah B.....Daily use and still a big problem for many heavy rotation DJ's too....Dont BIG up a classic design problem from Sennheiser.....I've use and loved them since 92 (used Sennheiser's headphones since 81) Check ya compatition out b4 promoting a common weak design fault to the masses.I don't disagree they sound great for monitoring your sounds,but there's better out there if you dont wanna keep replacing parts(Leads and pads).YOU WERE LUCKY....Check out some blogs Re Sennheiser cables.(cable NOT the jack)

whats the difference between HD25 & HD25 plus ?

@@ozyknows Both are the same headphone, with the plus you get a bit more in the package, extra cable, extra pads and a carrying case. Overall it is exactly the same headphone.

I really agree!

i'm thinking of getting one, but i don't like bass heavy speaker units; Which speaker unit does your Tma-2 have? S04 i guess;

Which drivers did you choose?

Serás tú yo los tengo 10 años y lo único que he cambiado son las almohadillas que por cierto al final compré las de terciopelo originales y duran muchísimo más.

Second that!

I actually did that.

I like Zinken and maybe it could have been part of this roundup! It's a nice, moderately sturdy, very comfortable headphone with decent isolation. Sonically, it's more neutral than Aiaiais, but duller sounding than ANY of these. It won't turn any music into torture unlike Aiaiais sometimes do, but the midbass punch is missing (only salvaged by the sharp sub-bass emphasis) and they have a de-emphasis in the sibilance and the hi-hat, which means many DJs will be missing their important sonic cues. This makes it a decent relaxed listening headphone though, you can listen to it all day and the hearing won't be fatigued, especially if you de-emphasize sub-bass a bit. Another advantage is that vinyl distortion from heavy tracking won't bite quite as sharply. If many DJ headphones are too punchy for some, the HD25 is too neutral to others, Zinken is neither here nor there, it's neither punchy nor neutral, but at least it's polite about it. The cable is a piece of fragile garbage, but you can get replacements - in a pinch, you can just use any 3.5 to 6.3 cable. I break about one cable every month when i use the stock ones. The coating is also terrible, but given that it's an urban fashion brand, it's supposed to look worn from the onset. Finally, i'm not sure it measures up to these. Maybe if you consider Aiaiais overpriced, then Zinken is an alternative, but it's not the HD25 or Pioneer C70 league. If you chose a 100€ headphone, what are you gonna get? Zinken wins against a number of leading brands, HDJ-500 got nothing on it. Wanna spend 200€? I think you might end up running cheaper in the long run and better with C70, HD25 or DT1350.

Sascha Wesseler U can hear 100$+ difference in HD25s, but zinkens are good. I use them for a while as my first DJ headphones and i love them. Friend forgot his 25s at home and used my Zinkens at his gig and was quite surprised..

i see this zinken hype time to time but its not good man. i really dont understand how u like it. sound awful. not comfortable. for the price and hearing bass is to beatmatch is enough, yeah it can do it for u. try before u buy

Lucian Petrescu Lucian - we actually talked to AIAIAI about this recently, and they've fixed this problem that was incessant on many headbands. They've updated the material and made it much more impervious to bending.

good to hear :) meanwhile I'm using Philips A1-Pro, headphones made in colabortion with Armin Van Buuren and aren't bad

+Lucian Petrescu Philips are absolutely nailing the Headphone market at the minute!

A friend of mine had a pair of Aiaiai with the head band broken...he wrote to the company that is producing them, they admited it was their fault so they sent him a new pair, second generation...you should try this

Yup, mine broke it half as well

AKSO Official Their latest is the Sennheiser HD25 1-II Aluminium

Daan Gerssen Alrighty then, thanks ;)

but is so easy

Gabriel Martínez I use it too (yellow), Zinkens are best choice in money/performance, but my dream are HD 25s/TMA-1.. once i get the money it will be hard decesion.

AI AI AI LETS GO

The cable looks like weight a ton and not that good for portable devices.... would have been good if they made easy interchangeable cable

"Chicola & Sonic Union - Domino Effect" & "Chicola & Sonic Union - Crucify Your Mind"

I've had hd25s for about 6 months now. N I'd honestly say yes 100xs over. Bought them for dj use, been using then for everything from riding my bicycle to taking on flights. They sound fantastic, their super light and portable, and they look decent enough to not feel like a knob rolling about town. The only thing I will say is that if your bringing them everywhere, your gonna destroy the stock cable. Had mine for six months and the right side of the cable is already going, and sennheiser doesnt cover mechanical damage in their warranty. Kind of annoying but you can pick up third party cables that supposedly last a good bit longer for less then 20 quid so it's kind of a non issue

@@whiteboysfavegoat hey there! Just wondering what the sound leak is like with the hd25? I'm looking into buying a pair soon for commute and casual listening :)

I get your your point, but you do not have the option to upgrade them over time. With the TMA-2 you can do that.

Very interested in this as well.. How do they compare to the HD25?

Mikie Sato Should be around 150-250$

thats another type of headphone

For me mids and highs are real harsh ans after some.minutes are real.unpleaseant

devianT Art devianT Art not sure - def reach out to Sennheiser's support and they'll be able to help. The good news is that they're modular so you don't have to replace the whole thin

Thank u so much mate :) I ve done so, but i´m almost 100% it´s the cable. I let the cable extended 4 1 or 2 hours and now it works perfectly again. I´m gonna be really careful with these on the future.

+DJ TechTools They are modular but the individual modules are crazy expensive (at least here in the UK). You almost may as well buy a new set

I use my tma 1 since they came out. No problem with the haedband

Had mine for 6 years. Still rocking them. Only thing I replaced are the pads and the new angled cable...

im in your boat. the headphone snapped in less than a year =/ Also, the sound comes out uneven, even after i replaced the cable.

My headband broke within 6 months :(

from a review i read a while back the HD7/8 don't cut it in terms for the price and what you get and a lot of people have said that the pioneers are closest they've used to the hd25s

Don't master on em that's for sure.

well what are some decent / go to head phones to master on if i dont have speakers / a full on studio...

PopsiclesInMyCellar AT-M50x are solid for the price.

PopsiclesInMyCellar definitely the AT-M50 or x- but thats more for mixing you get a decent mix on them for mastering you can't do it in headphones, best you send a track off for mastering, even if you had a good pair monitors, you need a range of monitors to master a track

On whom, the HD25? Yes, you can, but you won't get a professional result. In fact, you probably won't get it perfect with M50 either, so just relax and have fun, let somebody with better gear and more trained ears review your work, and if they tell you range X is too hot or too soft, you fix it! I think Wolf is wrong, HD-25 has its issues but i think they are of little practical regard towards mastering. I mean it has an untamed 10k peak, big fucking deal, you want to be careful with that area anyway. M50 has one too, and it's even more painful there. Let's see some authoritative sources on your choices, shall we. Since the Harmann preferred listening curve came out, you can mentally raise the 3-6k area by about 6db. (www.innerfidelity.com/content/harman-researchers-make-important-headway-understanding-headphone-response) Wolf's preferred HDJ-2000: www.innerfidelity.com/images/PioneerHDJ2000.pdf The 10k peak is recessed, which makes for a more relaxed listening experience, but it's not what a mastering headphone sounds like. The presence area is a bit on the weird side, it's not too hot but it's resonant. Here comes the M50: www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudioTechnicaATHM50.pdf This is near examplary, apart from a valley at 6k and 10k being quite sharp. They also got better with time: www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudioTechnicaATHM50B2012.pdf Or maybe just bassier instead of better: www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudioTechnicaATHM50x.pdf This is the HD25: www.innerfidelity.com/images/SennheiserHD251IIB2012.pdf Look, if you can tell a great deal of difference compared to M50, be my guest. Sure it's different, and mostly for the worse (see that 6k valley), but not by much. Aiaiai TMA-1 with DJ pads: www.innerfidelity.com/images/AiaiaiTMA1.pdf And with Studio pads: www.innerfidelity.com/images/AiaiaiTMA1Studio.pdf It will sound fine, but if you do it by ear, you will master the presence (4k) up to 10db too hot. Also introduces the danger of mastering 10k too hot, and people listening with headphones above or below MIGHT feel a mild urge to murder you. But does it have to be one headphone for everything? 30$ gives you a mastering headphone ruthless in revealing mistakes, though not the ultimate in listening pleasure. www.innerfidelity.com/images/SuperluxHD681.pdf
