The DT1350 refresh I haven’t heard, but I owned 2 DT1350s before that, and if you were good with the new signature (somewhat analytical) it may be a great choice, and is very portable and rugged. The split headband is a novel feature, allowing a fair amount of adjustment and tension relief on the top of your head during long periods. With a frequency response of 16 to 22,000Hz, an impedance of 70 ohms and a maximum SPL of 120dB, the HD 25 lends itself to any monitoring task, whether broadcasting, live recording or in the DJ booth. Almost everything on these headphones is replaceable meaning that they are one of the true headphones that stand a chance of lasting you for the rest of your life. Though these headphones have been around for decades, they remain timelessly modern and simple, with a clear-cut finish.

It’s a superbly open and accurate sound with a frequency range that starts at a wonderfully low 16Hz and goes all the way up to 22kHz. The headband can be contorted to unnatural positions and still spring back into its default shape thanks to its strong clamping force.

I'm going to use these as 2nd option headphones in the studio, what a welcome "you already own them" surprise.

they have a textured finish that doesn’t show up scratches or other wear as easily as a painted headphone might. Aside from the one swivelling ear cup, the standard model is a non-folding design, but is compact enough for this not to be too much of a worry, while the Light model has ear cups which can fold flat against your chest when worn around the neck. If you're looking for a DJ headphone pair that has a little more in the way of accessories or extra design features, the Beats Pro by Dr. You could also try out the Marshall Major IV, which can be bought for similar money to the Sennheiser HD 25.The headphones are the retreat for the DJ to calmly select the pitch and starting point for the next transition. WARNING (for California residents only): This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other reproductive harm. The Sennheiser HD-25 can withstand this for many hours in the evening without becoming uncomfortable or wearing out - even with increased volume levels.

Known around the world for incredible reliability and performance, these headphones are unlikely to disappear any time soon. The great benefit with the HD 25 is the amount of isolation they provide given their weight and their unique signature sound. The pace is still fast and aggressive, though less than the original 25 but still ahead of the Amperior. If you're really trying to save money, the Shure SRH550DJ is one of the more affordable decent options available.

It’s also worth giving a shout-out to the Sennheiser’s unique design, which allows you to flip the left can off completely when you’re in the booth, or just swivel the cups according to your needs. This has the advantage of making them super-light, as the ear cups themselves are relatively compact. The HD-25 ii fall is only short of dedicated noise-canceling headphones in terms of reducing unwanted sound from your listening. A removable cable (with no phone controls) detaches from both ears—so the user chooses which earcup is left and which is right. If the bottom is rolled off on like in in say country music and 70's pop, you hear just that, no exaggeration in the low end.
