I should say I am looking for a rounded, powerful sound, slightly warm, with good eq, good connectivity good battery life. Total neutrality and NC isn't a concern for me.

Hi Can anyone compare the MTW4's with the Sony wf-1000xm5's? I lost my in ear Sens CX plus's and replaced them with the Sony XM4's and Galaxy bud 2's. The sound is ok on the XM4's, but having severe issues with battery life. The Sony's seem to have very variable battery life and one side has...

Ok, thanks, well made a couple of hopefully useful contributions to an HD25 thread

How many posts do you need to be able to post in the classifieds? I think I read it was 15, I currently have 9! That is very frustrating! I don't want to spam post in order to sell my gear. Their selling criteria is incredibly strict, which I admire, but still, meh! Many of us are major lurkers...

Actually you are correct waxdoctor! Jay has another video where he identifies a design problem with some of the newer HD25's made in Romania. Apparently it's known that for some reason they solved the spring issue but created a worse one whereby they added hot glue to the coil wires, I guess in...

Hi there! Major Lurkio here. Been around since 2015, have a bunch of stuff for sale, nothing super sexy, just some HD25 Aluminiums, HD25's, and some custom HD25 ear defenders, the latter two fitted with Jay's mass loading kit from Custom Cans (who also made the defenders for me, thanks Jay!)...

You mean the left driver? How old are your headphones? The HD25 famously has issues with the removable cable connectors. There are very small springs in the earcup that clamp the connector prongs and these can get damaged (compressed or dirty) leading to poor connection. I think there has been...

Hi I am not sure this is the right forum, I am happy for the mods to move this to the appropriate one but I have three pairs of HD25 for sale. 1. A pair of HD25 Aluminiums with black Yaxi type B pads (part worn), perfect working order, it has a straight 2.5m cable with gold 3.5mm jack I also...

To anyone else reading this thread. SENNHEISERS. I can't remember the last time a pair of headphones made me walk around the room randomly laughing like an idiot and alternately staring into space with an open mouth. One you have dialled in 'cap com' on an iPod touch. Prepare for liftoff...

Just fitted the damping kit (inc the slightly scary part) to my old plastic HD25s and put the aluminium memory foam pads on them and ABd them with the stock aluminiums with yaxi type B memory foam pads.   The old plastic 25s sound very similar now to the aluminiums, it's so hard to tell, even...

Thanks for that, unfortunately I'm not that proficient in the requisite skills to make a box like that but certainly believe they could make a difference, even as you say moving the conversion process further away from the high speed spinny magnet things etc can only help. Interesting to note...

  Jason that is very kind of you but won't be necessary.   If I can prize my aluminiums off for long enough I shall send them to you for paint and damping kit, as I said, I think I will take the chance on the cable as although I know enough to know there is likely to be little or no...

HD25 2s vs Aluminiums + Yaxi type B pads    Durability and value for money:   Have had a pair of HD25 2s for over three years, daily listening, work, gym, all good, just now replaced cable, most durable phones ever.   Insane price for aluminiums:   Just bought a pair of HD25 Aluminiums...
