They are extremely comfortable, featuring a minimalistic headband and a unique capsule design, making them an attractive and lower-cost alternative to the HD 25-II. These are also suitable for nightly DJ use.

Clear Sound; Durable; Easy To Use; Great Price; Lightweight

These set of headphones have been perfect for listening and creating music. My only gripe is that the headphone on the left side is the only one that is able to rotate off the ear. I attempted to change that by taking apart the headphones and realized that there is a pin on one side that is not like...

These are the best headphones for portable use that I have found. The detail is not as good as other headphones in it's price range but the overall package of size, sound quality and durability make them the ultimate portable headphones.

I bought the HD25 Aluminium 3 months ago and so far this headphone has done nothing but impress me. For the qualities it delivers I find it's still a highly overlooked headphone due to the predecessor still being sold.

Excellent sound: Rich and slightly warm non-fatiguing sound, punchy bass, excellent extension & detail, speed, seperation and musical; ALUMINIUM

Lower treble not as upfront; Dominant 100-300hz bass region not for all genres; not as spacious or airy as over-ear

The best hi-fi headphones are designed to flatter your music and sound sources, glossing over imperfections to present the best possible sound. On the other hand, DJ and studio monitoring headphones like Sennheiser's HD 25 series are there to tell it like it is.

If your not afraid to prance around in these they are great for on the move. Completely shutting out sound with only half cups and really comfortable on the ears and light. They are really well built. I've had mine for 2 years now and quite honestly they still seem brand new.

Simply excellent headphones; for both comfort/fit and clarity. A true reference set that outperform many audiophile branded items. I'm not a studio user; I tend to listen to FLAC music on a headphone amp (FIIO). These headphones are sublime.

NewEgg sells a special version of these that DO NOT come with the replacement velour/soft earpads. Anywhere you look these up (notably, the product page this page links to), those are listed as part of the package.

Great Flat Sound - Good passive Noise Canceling - Easy to replace cables (should they get destroyed) - Unique split headband - Great NewEgg deal and fast shipping

- No soft earpads (a $12 cost from the Manufacturer
