Hey! I saw your broken pair of Pioneers and I wanted to ask you for how long you had them until they broke and under what circumstances did it happen.   The reason for my inquiry is that I’m searching for a new pair of headphones and I was planning on getting the HDJ 2000 MKII’s, which...

Another noob question: is load rating the same with maximum power input?   Because then, the Pioneer HDJ 2000 or the ATH PRO700mkII, with their 3.500mW power handling would theoretically be able to support more power pumped into them than the Sennheisers HD 25-1 II, that have a load rating of...

I can't comment on the sound quality regarding the M50's, because I tried them more than a year ago. I remember that they were not as bass heavy as the COP's, but that's it. The HD 25's were alright for my taste, but had recessed bass in my opinion. In terms of sound preference, I did prefer the...

  Well, I'm not an expert, but these are my impressions.   The HD 25's offer, at least in my opinion, better isolation but they have a smaller stereo image, similar to having a club in your head. The Beyers are obviously much larger in size and perhaps due to a) the size of the drivers and b)...

For the past month I’ve been trying to decide on a new pair of headphones, coming from the Technics RP DJ1210.  This year, they’re turning five and the padding on the headband is flaking, so I’m thinking about retiring them. I haven’t had any problems with them save for the failure of the 3.5 mm...

  Neither do I, I mean I haven't even used an amp for headphones as I didn't have to until now, but it might be some unseen force that draws me towards the HD 25's that makes me persist. I found a slightly used E6 with only 16 Pounds, but the amp that Fungus recommended (the E11) is around or...

Me again... Should I want to keep my phones as sources and use the HD 25 (the Amperiors are almost 100 euro more expensive) would a small amp like the Fiio E6 make a difference? I don't really see myself buying the Amperiors  (I don't think they're worth the price). 

That's a little bit more tricky. I only have basic knowledge of these aspects and although I knew the impedance of the Senn's I was expecting my phones to be underpowered in the sense of not being able to drive the drivers to reasonable levels (the max of the phone to be about halfway of what...

Thank you all. I never thought about that, because honestly it never happened before. I just went back and saw that the Custom One's were only 16 ohms, so that might account for their good performance. I guess that high impedance headphones are just out of touch when it comes to mobile phones :(...

This is not 100% connected to the HD 25, so please bear with me.    Sad story...   After finally being able to afford a new pair of headphones and reading all 183 pages here I was determined that the HD 25-1 II would be the one. Before I walked into the store, I was expecting either a major...

Has anyone used the Passport with the Senn hd 25? if so, how was the experience? I find it that it's very weak in the audio output area even with a pair of 32 ohms headphones (Technics RP DJ 1200). I also have a 9900 and a 9780 and the latter is the only one capable of pushing the headphones...

Thanks! Well that's kind of true, but it would be 20 euros the plug plus 25 "labour costs". So very hard to justify, that's why I'm considering alternatives.

Hi everybody! My name is Raul and I'm a student from Denmark. I'm having a bit of a situation and I need some advice. I would really appreciate your help. Currently, I'm using a pair of Technics RP DJ 1200A and the audio is starting to cut off from time to time. Let me start from the...
