There's a reason why you see these everywhere...
First off, I've been researching on getting a high quality set of headphones for a long time, looking at reviews all over forums and sites, and testing them out at stores that carried the ones I was interested in, mostly for DJ use. (Sony MDR V700, Pioneer HDJ-1000&2000, Allen&Heath XD53, Ultrasone DJ-1, Technics RP-DH1200, etc etc, and even the Monster Dre. Beats Pro, even though after the Beats Studios I've grown to sway away from those overpriced-bandwagon-moneymaking headphones) If you're looking for a set of 'cool' headphones that look flashy and deliver mad bass for casual listening (with hopes that you will be noticed by people around you wearing your super cool headphones) and are thinking of getting these, look elsewhere. However, if you want studio-level quality headphones that deliver excellent noise isolation while maintaining superb sounds with crisp highs and tight, punchy bass, (and aren't buying them for sex appeal) you cannot go wrong with these. I might also mention...
The Ugliness Grows On You
Looks ugly and cheap. So I bought the V-Moda M80, which looks AWESOME and COOL!! Taught me to not judge a book by its cover. Let me explain.
The V-Moda looked good, sounded ok, but the QC was terrible. The set I got had channel imbalance (right side noticeably louder than the left) and creaky construction at the metal hinges where the headband connects to the cups. I sold the V-Moda.
Next, I bought the highly recommended ATH M50. Sounded ok, bassy (definitely for bassheads) and isolation was good. BUT the long cord and size didn't make it as portable as I'd liked it to be, so it was relegated to home use for watching movies and playing games.
So my search for a sub $200 (unamped) portable headphone continued. I looked at Grado and other brands. Scoured forums and more forums for recommendations and whatnot. Annoyingly, people kept recommending this pair of headphones which led me to think that everybody on head-fi and other audio forums are all...
wonderful complement to the hd600, but requires a little patience
the hd25-1-ii is a classy looking pair of closed headphones that combines great sound with functionality. i use them on my commute and they serve as a nice complement to the hd600 for home use.
the hd25-1-ii sounded awesome to my ears right out of the box. if you already like the balanced, non-fatiguing, relaxing, slightly warm sennheiser house sound, then you will be pleased by the sound quality of the hd25-1-ii. the sennheiser hd600 is my reference pair of headphones and delivers what i consider neutral sound. as such, my ears were already acclimated and no adjustment period was needed for the similar sounding hd25-1-ii. compared to the hd600, the hd25-1-ii has a noticeably stronger but muddier bass, and a more intimate smaller soundstage. the fine treble details are quite nice on the hd25-1-ii, but obviously not as clear as on the hd600. however, the differences here won't be noticed on your commute anyway if you were considering the hd25-1-ii for public use. some would...
