Sennheiser Professional HD 25 On-Ear DJ Headphones

Product Information

The Sennheiser HD25 is possibly the best-selling professional DJ headphone in the world. Chosen by many DJs because of superb sound quality, comfort and durability. Every part of the HD25 can be replaced, from cable to capsule and even the iconic split headband – this is a DJ accessory that’s built to last. The standard HD 25 doesn’t come with much in the way of accessories. You’ll have access to one cable and a connector. The cable itself is shorter than many of the standard cables that come with other headphones. But for DJing, I prefer the shorter cable as it limits the amount of times that the cable gets in my way. For HD 400 series, double-sided (except HD 445, HD 455, HD 475, HD 477 and HD 497), HD 250, HD 520, HD 530, HD 540 and HD 560, also HD25 "Light" (Kevlar reinforced copper unless stated otherwise) 54-167 This is where Sennheiser smashed it out of the park. These little headphones are tough! At first glance the lightweight feel and slimline design make them look like they would easily break. That’s where looks can be deceiving. After my extensive hands-on testing with these headphones, I can see why it’s a popular choice for professional DJs. While I’m not a huge fan of the on-ear design, they were also far more comfortable than I initially imagined. The durability and sound quality are also impressive. There’s a reason these have been in production for so long.

One of the common questions many beginner DJs face is why they need a dedicated pair of headphones. On the surface, these headphones tend to be both expensive and bulky. When it comes to DJing, your generic earbuds that came with your phone won’t cut it. Even those cheap Hi-Fi headphones you likely have around will not be well suited to DJing. For HD 400 series (except HD 435, HD 445, HD 455, HD 465, HD 475, HD 477 and HD 497), HD 250, HD 520, HD 530, HD 540 and HD 560 (oxygen-free copper) 37974BSF For the longest time in my younger years, I always owned headphones that were not that great. When I got my DJ gear, the number one item that was next on my shopping list was a good set of headphones.Perhaps the only minor gripe I can present is that since these do feature an on-ear design, some might find the direct pressure on your ears uncomfortable over longer sessions. In my testing, I didn’t encounter discomfort, but your mileage may vary. Despite the tight grip and on-ear design, these hold up pretty well even if you wear glasses, but some might prefer more plush over-ear cups over this style.

One of the first things I noticed when testing the HD 25 is the tight bass response. Unlike other DJ headphones, these are not overly warm, and the focus is on clarity, punch, and precision. This is perfect for beatmatching but also enjoyable when listening to music. The V Moda Crossfade LP2 is another stand-out option for DJs. Especially for DJs who like to have their headphones be a statement piece. As always, the capsules can be rotated and the split headband ensures a perfect fit, not matter how hard you find yourself nodding your head while in the mix. Even if you find yourself mixing for long periods of time, the Sennhesier HD25 remain comfortable and they’re built to last – with a tough single-sided cable which can be detached if required. The split headband was exceptionally comfortable. Having the ability to adjust the two headbands allowed me to find the sweet spot easily. A good amount of headband padding and a solid amount of clamping force kept these on my head. Even when I was bopping away mid-set.Audio Technica also gives you some choice when it comes to color options. With a rich sound palette across all spectrums, they are a great over-ear alternative. Sennheiser HD25 PLUS Headphones Identical to the HD 25 (2016 model) but comes fully equipped a coiled steel cable, straight steel cable, handy storage pouch and a second set of ear pads in a velour version

Another excellent pair of headphones that are ideal for fans of Pioneer DJ gear. With excellent sound quality and a high comfort level, they are a great set of cans.

On-ear headphones need to be well-designed so that they still offer a good amount of passive noise cancellation.
