Hmmm...I'd maybe put them on par with the original HD25s aesthetically, but the new aluminums are definitely better looking IMO. Sure the HD25 has exposed cabling, but then the 26s have those plastic adjustable wings sticking out; at least if the cable breaks, it can be replaced.

One thing to consider: If you don't mind the size and weight difference, you can get the FiiO E12 plus Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 for roughly the same price as the HD 26 PRO. Now that is a sweet combo!

I've had the DT770 and prefer the SQ on the HD 26. I can't wear the 770s on the go.

Really interested in trying a these. How does the soundstage/imaging compare with the 25s? Any improvement?

Hi everyone,
I have been using the sennheiser px200iiii with my laptop and mobile for the last few months. I am looking for a small, portable, sealed solution to upgrade from that that is drivable by smartphones. I have been thinking about the new beyerdynamic t51p or the hd25alu or hd26pro. A pity that neither of those has an inline remote or mic though because i really need those. At least with the last two options you might potentially be able to switch the cable. Any news on  what the connection on the headphone end of the hd26pro is like?
Any comparisons between the hd26pro the hd25alu and or the t51p would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings, Anouk,

Amperior is everything you're looking for. Even has the mic.

Fellas, our good old friend Dale Thorn posted a review of the HD26 on Amazon.com. You should check it.

Hello,
 
Does anyone have the '26 Pro and the '25 Aluminium? Is the Aluminium far behind?
 
The capsules/cups of the '26 Pro; do they fit the headband of the '25? I have a band from another set of phones which the '25 cups are supposed to fit
 
The pads of the '26 Pro; do they fit the '25?
 
Thanks,
DT

Google turned this up in an instant.
 

 
They are probably using the same pads, that's as much as I can tell from this picture.

What's happened to the HD26 ? The interest seems to have died off and availability is pretty limited. Is it the long term replacement for the HD25 ?

I love mine. I doubt that they're as durable as the 25s, so I default to the 25s when traveling. I marginally prefer the 26s on SQ. Both are great. I don't know if they're worth the 50% upgrade (in dollars).

I keep waiting for the price to drop, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

That's the reason I'm interested, I'm a big fan of the HD25s. Its there mix of sound quality and durability which is hard to beat.

I am waiting too but it really seems like won't happen. I got amperior for now and want to sell it for hd 26. So, lets se what will happen about price.

I'll just leave this info. here.
