I agree that they are probably incredible cans, but if you can't drive them or if your source isn't pristine they sound thin and awful (atleast that was how I remembered them). I really wish that I had them around still to do some testing. I don't think that anything that I own would be good...

This is a sad story about a pair CD3000's. My old job had a set that was purchased to be used in the studio, but somehow found their way into an ENG (Electronic News Gathering) kit. Needless to say they aren't very good coming off of the monitor jack of a camera. They got broken (connector...

A high priced, specialized, low demand product would probably cost more to manufacture as there is a diminishing return. What I mean is that the more that you make, the more profit you will turn on the item. Make less of them than the profit is less. Sure the profit margin per item may be the...

This is bad, I too have a set of HD-25's and I have a sinus infection and fluid behind both ears now. Could it be related the Senns? I haven't even tried to put them on since I got sick, I can barely hear people in the same room talking to me and the thought of sealed headphones with as...

The theory of burn in makes perfect sense since a speaker is a mechanical object. As you break it in it should be a little easier to drive and may even react quicker. I have a brand new pair of HD-25's and compared to a 4 year old set they don't sound quite as good. Their not as warm if that...

Check the window mixer and make sure that the CD input isn't too low. Default is around 70%. I own the HD-25-1's and they sound incredibe with my Santa Cruz SC. They are very easy to drive and I love being able to block out all surounding noise (I have a clothes dryer close to me as well). Be...

The Senn HD25-1's have a split band that you could adjust to where it is almost impossible to come off. Even if you were on Tommy Lees spinning drum thing from the 90's. They also have great isolation and solid bass response.

That is a good question. I would assume that if it is an accurate reproduction of the sound that it should be fine. What I mean is that it is the static making the poor sound and not the headphones actually distorting from being overdriven. AFAIK the cans won't know the difference between static...

E-tronics has the best price on brand new HD25-1's at $145. That is a steal. Here is the link. They show the price after you put them in the cart. They also ship via USPS if you need to use a PO box. They are sweet aren't they?

Another vote for the HD25-1's. Tons of good clean bass and are very easy to drive to deafening levels without distorting.

Noobie here. I can't say a lot for many of these that are recommended here since I haven't heard them all, but I can say that for my taste that the Sennheiser HD-25-1's are great. I spent a lot of time this last week checking them out and have to say that if you don't have the money for/want an...

I did find a good price at E-Tronics for the HD-25's, about $144. That is almost too good to pass up. Rather than take a chance on something that may or may not be what I am looking for I can get exactly what I am looking for. The more I think about it, the more that I like the idea of just...

No, the HD-25's are fine with me, only problem is that I don't own them myself, they belong the the station I work at. I don't think that they would like it if I took a pair home. And yes they are a little on the pricey side for me. I have almost talked myself into buying them (probably...

New guy here, I'm not a complete idiot, I just never really pursued a good set of headphones with this much gusto. No more $40 cans off of a shelf, I want something that I can listen to and just enjoy. I have listened to a few sets around here, but I don't have a great selection on hand so most...
