Hey, Head-Fi
I'm currently in the market for a pair of Sennheiser HD 25-1 II's, but from all that I've read, I've heard that there are some microphonics on these things. I, being a financially restricted 14 year old, am unable to buy a copper cable because of my parents' unwillingness to let me buy anything other than headphones. So here's my question:
How bad/noticeable are the microphonics on the HD 25-1 II's? Will they be horribly distorting?
Much appreciated.

Somewhat microphonic, I don't notice at all when I am outside and walking around, it is not enough to distract.  It should be pretty quiet if you keep the cable under your shirt, sweater, or jacket.

its minimal, almost nonexistent compared to the DT1350

DT1350/T50p - worse than RE252, I think.  I no longer have T50p.

I dont think microphonics would be a concern in the HD25, OP, you should go for it.

cant wait to get home and try the GLite with my K601 

 (and DT1350 since they seem to be so hard to drive)

Not even my M-Stage gave the K701 the low-end grunt of the Gilmore, or the soundstage.  I can just imagine the GS-1.  =d
