Hey guys, I just wanted to stop by and let you know about how things are going with my decision to get the Sennheiser's HD 25-1 II's. In a word, superb! I've been mixing quite a few different styles, and find that it easily handles all music types. People were right about it being very comfortable, and the isolation is insane. Soundstage for me could be a bit wider for trance, but nothing that would have discouraged me from getting them anyways; they still have a "big" sound. Bass is clean and even though it's not as "deep" as some would want it to be, for my purposes (mixing) it actually is an asset. I do a variety of music: Dubstep, Electro, Trance, House, Hardstyle, etc. When I listen to my mixes on my stereo (with big bass), it sounds much better than before. I can easily distinguish where the sounds are coming from, and when. Instrumentation is separated nicely, and the reproduction of sound is very good. I really love these cans, and want to express my thanks to everyone who put in their two cents. It was good to go out and review all the different headphones people suggested. It does come down to what you want them for, and for me, the Hd 25's were the best choice. I am thinking of using them as my carry around phones too, but not sure I want over the ear or in ear for this. Will have to see what else is out there....again! Lol Overall, anyone else who is reading this and is curious about what phones to get, here is why I feel the HD 25-1 II's are a great choice: (1) Fantastic for mixing; it truly gives you the ability to hear the sounds much better, and makes blending a lot easier (2) extremely comfortable (for my head) (3) Unmatched sound reproduction, great separation and very good soundstage. (4) Good middle of the road pricing ($200) with exceptional value. Again, thank you all for enlightening me to the world of headphones. I look forward to educating myself more and one day being able to help other newbies with their selection as you all have done for me. Bless you all.
