I have been using these headphones for a few years, originally got them from the US when the dollar was a lot better.

These headphones are normally $300 or so, used to be $400 a year or two ago, I was shocked to see them at <$200.

Great audio, very durable (I leave them in my gym bag which I throw around all the time), all parts are replaceable very easily/cheaply.

Cannot recommend these enough.

      Wow I don't know what is going on with their system. If I try to sign up on their homepage, it confirms that I will receive the newsletter on a completely wrong email address!
      If I log in to my JBHifi account and try to sign up, it says it will send me something straight away, but nothing has come through.

  • stargalaxy on 20/04/2015 - 14:33

    Is this really that good? I am tempted and have the Sol Mastertracks and Senheiser Momentum on Ear.

    • mostlygordon on 20/04/2015 - 14:52

      I received the offer and am a sucker for discount headphones LOL. After doing some research, I would say they are a good price, and look to be good for professional use. However, it looks like they have a fairly clinical sound. I have Grado's and Momentum's and doubt I would enjoy these as much. See:

      http://www.head-fi.org/products/sennheiser-hd-25-1-ii-profes…

      Anyone looking for the voucher PM me…

      • stargalaxy on 20/04/2015 - 14:58

        Thanks, I am trying to find an excuse not to buy this as have not been using the Sol and Momentum enough to buy another set.

      • kabammi on 20/04/2015 - 15:41
        +3

        They're monitors (the HD25-1 IIs), so they're supposed to be "clinical". You need to be able to decipher the various frequencies in the sound you're monitoring/mixing, and you can't if they're overdriven in any one part of the spectrum. You'll either over or underdrive the output to make the sound in the headphone monitors "right" and by doing that (if the phones are bass or mid or high end heavy), the mix you out over your P/A will be totally screwed (unless you're playing to a crowd of lagered up yobs who don't care what it is you're playing).

        • marquise on 20/04/2015 - 16:35

          Thanks for the info. Is the 'clinical' sound the general selling point of headphones that are marketed as 'DJ headphones'?

        • mostlygordon on 21/04/2015 - 14:07

          Hence my comment "and look to be good for professional use". But not something I would listen to Tidal with away from my automated desk ;-)

        • kabammi on 22/04/2015 - 14:35

          @mostlygordon:

          Hi MostlyGordon.

          I did see that, but you follow it up with a "However". Which leads me to think you misunderstand the nature of the product.

          I've had a pair for 15 years and they're awesome for their intended purpose.
          If you just want to use them as regular headphones though, I'd go for something else. They probably are too clinical if you like a bigger sound, but the real killer is that these things WILL hurt your ears given enough time wearing them. They isolate sound by ramming the cups on your ears pretty hard. Albeit, I do have a massive bobble head so that doesn't help.

          cheers

    • Thrawn on 20/04/2015 - 15:23

      I have both the Adidas HD25s and Momentum on Ears. My understanding is that the Momentums were based on an HD25 design but optimized for the modern look with the sound also tweaked.

  • pums04 on 20/04/2015 - 14:50

    my eyes are on these and the ATH-M50X. Care to share what your ears say about these headphones?

    • nicholasnbg on 20/04/2015 - 14:55
      +1

      I'm not a full blown audiophile or whatever, but I did put in a tonne of research before purchasing these.

      In no way was I disappointed. Music was so crisp yet deep, not as bassy as beats obv. I listen to all sorts of rock from pop punk to metalcore. They blocked out surrounding noise really well on planes /trains etc. The design came in handy at gym (stayed on my head through bench press, squats, rows etc.)

      There should be a crap load of reviews that can assist you better than I did haha

      • pums04 on 20/04/2015 - 15:15

        @nicholasnbg, thanks! Have you also tried M50X? Both have good reviews.

    • frowny on 20/04/2015 - 15:49

      Bought a pair of the M50x's a few weeks ago and they're amazing, I liked them more than this offer because the build quality is slightly better, the M50x's are very flexible and sturdy.

  • Innamura on 20/04/2015 - 14:56

    Are these the replacement for sennheiser's amperior series?

    • Huddo121 on 20/04/2015 - 15:39

      No, these headphones have been around for nearly thirty years I think. Started life as TV Studio monitoring headphones. Pretty popular for DJs though for the ruggedness, tightness and ability to replace individual parts.

        You're welcome. Hope you enjoy it! I'm good with a pair of Sennseiher HD201 for which I paid $35 two years ago.

  • giventofly on 20/04/2015 - 15:05

    These are pretty great. Tight, not overbearing bass, clean highs, and excellent isolation.

    Be warned, they so clamp pretty hard so can be uncomfortable after a while.

  • rodericb on 20/04/2015 - 15:09

    They are very good headphones but you can send yourself deaf as they can handle high amounts of power easily without distorting. They sit on top of your ear (as opposed to covering your ear) and I found them a bit unstable on my head.

  • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2015 - 15:13

    Actually you can grab these for around AUD$200-230 shipped from the UK, which is what I paid for when I got mine about a year ago. <$200 locally is a very good deal nonetheless.

    On a side note, for a similar price point, I'd honestly choose the Audio Technica ATH M50x.

    • nicholasnbg on 20/04/2015 - 16:04

      Yeah I paid $240 shipped from a US store a few years back, but given the dollar has crapped itself this is likely as good as it will get I reckon.

    I wore these from upwards of three hours every day for 2+ years and they are still in great condition. I have upgraded since then because I did get somewhat bored of the sound. None the less, for our Aussie dollar, this is a great price.

    Sold it after a while for $199 as I didn't use it much. But the value of this headphone is great.

      Also bought a pair in 2012, but for $160 (distinctly remember it was from DSE during a headphone sale), and then sold it 2 years later after extensive use for a little over $200. Funny how that works.

      Great pair of headphones.

    Got these when they were $130 on sale in the US years and years ago. Good to see these are still around. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    For this price, a STEAL. Forget about Momentums, my on-ears for almost the same money don't come close. Just brown, retro and funky. Warmer perhaps.

    Pros:

    Amazing ability to handle power/pressure
    precise sound, accurate and yes, clinical, a good word.
    great with heavier styles of music, hip hop, electronic, rock, metal etc

    CONS:
    Requires solid power and clean source for best performance.
    not comfortable for long listening sessions
    sound bleed at higher volumes, could be an issue in public places

  • zzsprade on 20/04/2015 - 19:48

  • zeezaw on 20/04/2015 - 22:00

    I love these. Had mine for over 10 years, they sound great and look new (with new foam ear pads). I tried the Momentum on-ear when they were on special but the sound does not compare IMO.

    The only downside is that, being on-ear headphones, they can clamp a bit hard if wearing for many hours. But this is the price you pay for good isolation.

  • bcstyle on 20/04/2015 - 23:47

    FYI I found a couple of Sennheiser Amperiors for $169 next to the HD25s. The model is discontinued and the boxes seemed worse for wear but they are superior to the HD25s. Normal retail price for the Amperiors is $350.
