Can anyone recommend a good cable to go with these? I'm aware of Moon Audio but don't really want to splash out to that degree and was looking for something more UK/Euro based.

At those prices, you sure you don't want to get the Aluminums. Same drivers as the regular HD25 gain the advantages of the aluminum cup and get the definitive HD25 edition.
As far as parts, the only thing different about the aluminum edition are those cups. The rest of the parts are interchangeable.
Granted I prefer the look of regular black HD25 or blue Amperior over the silver Aluminums. Not a big deal if the sonics are better.
Is that a fact then? I don't think there is anything on Sennheiser's site or in the tech specs to confirm it - I assume it to be the case as well, but never seen it confirmed officially.
EDIT: Actually forget that, page one of this thread makes it clear they are the same drivers, sorry! Must learn to read more carefully... :confused_face:
I'm with you Malfunkt. Looking at the difference in price I'd go for the ALU instantly and not worry about parts. It's still the same robust HD25 which should last many years with normal use. But..a few tenners seem to matter to Pedro or he would have pulled the trigger already.
I would recommend Oyaide's HPC-HD25 cable. You may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere though.
If you're looking for a custom cable in the EU, a couple of places I'd recommend are Custom Cans in the UK and Forza AudioWorks in Poland. In fact, Jason (of Custom Cans) did the review on page one of this thread!
a mint condition and still in warranty 250ohm dt770 for 80 euros...
Go for it! Definitely take the two or even three headphones man. Enough talking already

I can get a pair of alus for 130 euros. Mint condition bought on thomann 3 months ago. Good deal?
My main worry is the 2 metre cable.... is it suitable for portable use?
Cheers
The 2m cable isn't ideal though IMO (first thing I did was swap it out) but it might be something you could live with until you could afford to replace it. I really don't know why Senn decided to go with such a long stock cable for what is clearly a portable headphone.
Because these are primarily DJ HP's. & DJ's need decent cable length to move around the decks.
