Excellent work. Well thought out and well executed. Kudos my dear friend

Saint.panda, although I don't plan to buy HD-25, I found your review easy to read and very informative in terms of practicability and comparability. I somehow like your "near perfection" style. Keep on! What would be your next review?

How would the HD 25 compare to the Grado 125 in sound quality only because I figured they'd be in the same price league? What about other open headphones in that price range and is it good for gaming?
I'm really interested in these headphones now

gsferrari and Permonic, thank you for your kind words

Bayerdynamic, I have owned the Grado SR 125 but not at the time I wrote the review. From memory, I can only recall that the Grado 125 had the same outstanding midrange like the SR 225 but less bass than the HD 25. I'd say that the SR 125 sounded more musical and at home I chose the SR 125 most of the time despite its subtle bass deficiency.

Good review, and I agree with most of it.

I do agree with luukas that the cords on my HD25's are quite microphonic. If you touch the cables, or it rubs against stuff, you hear it all. Also, I found the HD25's to be more comfortable than the Grados, because the Grados make my ears sore after an hour, while I can wear the Senns for longer than that without ear pains.

But yes, the HD25's are quite good, and I shall not be getting rid of mine.

For portable use? Taping an RKV onto the headband is not really my style...

You can find a more detailed explanation in the review somewhere, I think in the "specs and facts" chapter. I hope you'll like them Hi episiarch, I only audtioned the HD 280 once and didn't really concentrate too much on the sound quality but rather on comfort and isolation.

The HD25SP is totally different than the HD25-1/HD25-13. In comparison, It has different specs (a lot less max SPL) and the sound just sounds different (boomy bass, not so clear and not so balanced) compared to the HD25-1. The HD25-13 has a different impedance (600 ohms) to couple with some studio equipment.

Yeah, I must say that with my really low understanding of sound quality, it is too much for me. However, everything else I wanted to read about was there. And it got me into googling/wikipediying a lot of stuff I must admit..
