The closed-back HD 25-1 II purpose-designed, professional monitoring headphones offer high attenuation of background noise. Capable of handling very high sound pressure levels and of extremely robust construction, these headphones perform exceptionally well in high-noise environments, e.g. ENG, sound reinforcement, studio monitoring and audio equipment testing. The capsule is rotatable for one-ear listening. Ideal monitoring headphones for cameramen and DJs.

    The compact & lightweight Sennheiser HD25's are high-sensitivity and high-power-handling sealed headphones that are great for DJs - especially those who have lost some of their hearing, because they go VERY LOUD. The frequency response is heavily skewed towards the bass, so they're a poor choice for studio monitoring. For HiFi listening, they are often quite natural and articulate, though on some recordings the bass will dominate. However, these 'phones do have some... Read more

    A few of my mates who dj in clubs use the Sennheiser HD 25s, I have tried technics ones and nu-mark headphones as a cheap option but wasn't worth the money as i had to keep replacing the headphones all the time , i found hd 25's are by far the best. Now I  use these all the time for djing in clubs and I like them because they stop a lot of exterior noise and the sound quality is crystal clear also they are very durable and every part can be changed on them which is...

    Must point out that there are two different models here the HD25 and the HD25sp the sp are the cheaper version with a y cable that twists round your neck after a few hours wear. The HD25 are amazing though. The best headphones I've ever used. I prefer these to DT100s. Great isolation, comfy, punchy, clear sound, light, all parts replaceable. Get the velvet earpads Read more

    I use these for video work. As soon as you put them on, it's as if you're listening inside a sound proof room. It's remarkable just how well they cut out external noise. This is really important if you're monitoring something like a street interview. Unwanted sounds will be clearly audible. They are also incredibly light (but not fragile), I can wear them all day with no fatigue. I definately give these a score of five stars despite one irritating design flaw. The lead... Read more
