Does anybody have a recommendation for a shorter aftermarket cable that's not prohibitively expensive? The Oyaide HPC-HD25 seems promising, but I'm sure there are other options as well.
 
Also, what's the type of screws holding the cable in place? I can't recognize them.

Just ordered my HD25 Aluminium (again). Still looking for that portable headphone after trying some other cans.

The screws are torx t6.

Why did you sell it in the first place? Can't believe it's overlooked. Like it so much more than the amperior apart fromt the too long cable.

I was staying in a Hospital when i got them the last time. Didnt even listen to them during my stay. Sold them when i got out. Never gave them a good listen, my fault.

Got them today. So far they sound great especially considering their size and portability. Treble can be a bit hot and sibliant on some tracks at higher volumes but due to their isolation a medium volume is sufficient.

By the way, in Europe these are priced the same as the regular HD25.

Glad you like them  
Feel free to make some lil comparisons

Well im not sure of this is brain burn in or headphone burn in but the treble is now not as sibliant as it used to be withhin the first hours. I get almost no sibliance actually. Very happy with the sound of these.

Can anyone please specify the differences between the hd25-1 ii, the amperior and the hd25 alu please? Soundwise of course....

The amperior is the most confortable right?

I have a hd25 and i am about to het an amperior....

Detail
HD25 < Amperior <HD25Alu
Soundstage
HD25 = Amerior < HD25Alu
 
HD25Alu has the best bass extension out of all three. 
I found the HD25 to be warm sounding and the amperior cold. HD25Alu sits right in the middle.
 
That's all I remember so far. I remember the Amperior to be comfortable, HD25 not so.

Hi guise This is my first post on forum! I like this forum very much. Here are my wishes;
 
I decided to get myself first good pair of headphones. I am a bit basshead, but not too much. Mostly i like electronic music ( Techno, Trance, House, Dub, Psy, Ambient, Lounge...) where lows are almost as important as highgs In my country i cant test headphones without buying them, so im asking u, which version of HD 25 would u pick for my taste? I am reading very different opinions about bass at classic and aluminum versions.
 
Here are some tracks so u get idea of my main taste in music. Check them on youtube. Ofc i listen to others genres as: Reggae, Rap, Rock,... But this shouldnt be as important as electronic music
 
techno:
San Proper - Yestoday
Morane - The Trick (think dark) - Perlon 34
 
Ambient/Psy:
Solar Fields - Unite
Sync24 - Something something
 
Trance:
Vini Vici & Major7 - Back Underground
Ololiuqui - Valves
 
 Instrumental:
danaga - fumeaza sub apa

 

 
In this moment i cant decide between HD25 1-ii and Aluminum version, ofc if there is better version let me know

 

Thanks and greetings from Slolvenia

Hi danilolesnik
 
I like Solar Fiels a lot, also like Major 7. I don't think you can go wrong with HD 25 Aluminum version. I prefer it over the standard version. IMO the Alu has more polished highs & Bass is bit tighter. for the sake of full disclosure, mine has an upgraded cable. I bought it that way, so I have never tried it with the stock cable. I don't know how much of the diff in sound is due to the cable.

 

[danilolesnik]

Thanks mate, i will probably go with AL version indeed And the case for phones is also included as far as i know.  Price is 190e in germany which is quite good. Cable shouldnt be a problem for me, anything will be good.

 

[punit]

no it comes with a straight cable, does not have coiled. & the case is very nice.

 

[danilolesnik]

Btw, Are HD 6,7 or 8 rly over ear version of HD 25? because i have secound thoughts about on ear comfort

  i know on ear are smaller, more mobile, but with worse soundstage. I am also looking at Denon AH D600, but i cant try them before buying,...
