Interesting. Can you tell us which cables you trialled? Could you also maybe tell us a bit on the leather pads on the HD25 alu?
Stay updated on Sennheiser at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

So what's the difference between HD25Alu and Amperior. Is the HD25Alu really an actual improvement?
Seems like same drivers and same cups for me...
They are aimed at different markets really - the amperior have 18ohm drivers and a remote/mic cable to make them good for commuting and using with phones and ipods. The HD25 Alu have 70 ohm drivers and a 2m steel cable and are more geared up to pro use. There are a few other minor differences like the material the pads are made of but that it the main thing. So... The HD25 alu is an upgrade for the standard HD25 - the amperior is more in a class with the momentums
Has anyone had a problem with the right cup sliding? Is there any way to tighten it? It kind of seems that the cable is pulling down the cup. The left side is just fine and adjusts with a nice click but the right side slides quickly without any resistance on the bumps. It doesn't look like the little screws have anything to do with that, but only with the cord, right? I don't know if I should send it back to Sennheiser for a repair (?).
Well I decided to purchase the HD25 Aluminums today even though I already own the Amperiors. I recently bought the Momentum on ears and a pair of AKG K550 for comparison and ultimately decided I liked the Amperiors better, so I returned those for the HD25's instead. I look forward to doing some comparisons between these two headphones and plan on using the Amperiors for travel and the HD25's for use with my at home Schiit Magni & Modi stack. I will swap out the pads on the two to see how much of a difference that makes.
