Upgrade to new headphones, or upgrade your actual HD25s?

 

If I was going to get new headphones, I would be looking at the Amperiors.

Has anyone tried the HD25 with tube amps, especially the ALO Continental (eying this amp for the longest time)? I have not found much information with a tube amp pairing. Any information would be a great help. Thanks!

Yes I did run my HD25-1's with a Schiit Valhalla and they sounded very nice. The Valhalla took off the extremes a bit and made the highs a bit more mellow. Overall I liked the combination a lot.

Well looks like I'll be wearing my hd 25's (adidas) a lot this week. Reason being my right ear is full of wax. Using cerumoil to loosen it but don't think it's a good idea to keep shoving iem's in whilst trying to loosten the wax!

I officially prefer the HD25 over the Amperior. Just picked up my HDs for the third time and I don't think I am ever letting them go. They're more neutral overall than the Amps and everything is just tighter while still sounding fun.

 

From ergonomics, to build quality, to sound, to its badass industrial looks.... the HD25 will always have a place in my heart and collection. Very much appreciated :)

If you like Grados, then the HD25s are a nice evolution for you...

I used to use my HD25's with my Little Dot MKIII and I enjoyed it. The amp adds a nice touch of warmth to the sound. I get a similar experience with the RSA Predator, which is what I primarily used with the HD25.

Thank you for the replies on the tube amp inquiries. I have a sudden interest in tube amps after reading about them. I've also looked at the little dot's. They look nice and the feedback on them are good; however, I am mostly mobile so I cannot use it. That's why I was also asking for the Continental. I was trying my luck at a local store to test it. Unfortunately, it was out of stock. The search continues.

Does anyone other than me have issues with the headband size adjustment ? I feel it is to loose, which means that I can't properly adjust it to the size of my head, when I choose a step that fits, it eventually gives up and the headband gets to large. Is it  a natural thing for the hd-25 or is mine too used and in bad shape ?

 

If my headphones are at fault, does anyone have a solution to make them more reliable on that matter ?
