    best headphones in da phucking world!!!!
    i have mine over ten? years now and they are still workin'.
    i bought also a pair for my ipod listening pleasure when i am not at home.
    i will never buy another headphone anymore!!

    some people say if they wear them a particular time (3-4hours) they will feel some kind of compression on their ears. i personally cant say anything about that...

    edit
    i would recomend to buy a helix cable also if you get a pair.

      listening to a pair as we speak, absolutely love them, very very good @ high volume but lacking in high frequency as they cut off around 22 khz ( more than enough considering thats about all our ears can hear ), very punchy sound from them and good all round performers, i just bought a pair of hd650's and being top of the range sennhiesers i thought they would be better than hd25's but as soon as i heard them i came running back to my hd25's lol, the 650's are massively power hungry, show up compression in mp3 easily ( badly infact, u have no idea how bad mp3 sounds on them ) and need a headphone amp to be driven correctly, dont get me wrong they sound outstanding and so they should with double the frequency of hd25's but if ur going to be using ur headphones on different things then buy hd25's

                        I have the Sony 700's. I like them. I don't see/hear anything wrong with them. Nice quality so I mean how much better can these be?

                        If I had to throw a con at these 700's; its that after long periods of having them on, my ears begin to hurt. Not sure if its because they're heavy or the padding isn't soft enough.

                        its the little canals in the ear, not the outer or inner portion but the swirly mountain road part...lol if ya get what I mean.

                        But it's only when I have them on for a good 4 hours or something lengthy...

                        Quality wise, I think they're great.

                            I've been thinking about getting a pair of these for quite some time. Right now I've got the sony mdr 700s, but can really make your feel like your ears are bleeding when forced to use at a high volume for a long period of times.

                            These are currently at the top of my list. Will probably be a few months before I can afford them though.
