Sennheiser Professional HD 25 On-Ear DJ Headphones

Product Information

The clamping force of the HD 25’s earcups is very strong, and this creates a fit that stays put no matter what you’re doing.

At SPL levels above 160 dB some mechanical problems might occur (for example the voice coil might crash onto the magnet) but these SPL levels are very hard to find in real world.As a result of this, there’s much debate about how suitable these cans are for mixing on, and how well tracks mixed using them translate to other systems.
