Review: Audiophile quality very neutral headphones that rely on a good musical source. Highly musical. Recommended. - I found that the H25s’ went from fairly pants to magical in the first ten or so hours of use. Once run in they are very neutral with a flat frequency response and a tonal accuracy that some may term a little clinical; similar in nature to Grado Headphones (but without the mid-range emphasis). Not as warm and exciting as my AKG 451s’ but overall more musically satisfying. In my opinion far superior to the Sennheiser Momentum 2 that everyone raves about. Not designed as commuter portables, but if you need a small pair of real audiophile quality headphones that afford a reasonable level of sound isolation and real musical satisfaction then definitely try them out. Great monitor level headphones if you are into mixing and recording your own music. Can be critical of poor quality input so better with CD quality or higher resolution input. Bottom line is that I never feel as though they have any significant faults in their presentation and they draw me into the music. Recommended. Pros Sound quality. Lots of portable headphones are designed with low frequency bias. The H25s’ are not and have a very neutral and detailed presentation with a fine tonal accuracy. Every part of the music just sounds well balanced and right. They also have a wide sound-stage for closed cup headphones. If you are not used to this presentation then you may consider them a bit analytical or clinical but persevere and you may start to be absorbed in the detail and musical dynamics and find the H25s’ highly musical. Well made. Very sturdy phones and most parts are replaceable. Limited microphoney from the cable. So if you tap the cable you don’t get a large booming in your ear. Even at the full retail price they are worth it. Reasonable sound isolation. Strangely Comfortable. Initially you are aware of a significant pressure applied by the headband to the ear pads and I expected this to become uncomfortable over time, but it doesn't. You are always aware that you are wearing the headphones but the pads soften quite quickly and you get used to the pressure. For me it never becomes uncomfortable and the ear cups do not move around and cause irritation. Good if you wear glasses. The design means that the ear-pads do not touch the arms of glasses. Cons No carry case or bag supplied. Bulky. The headband and size of ear cup mean that they are not particularly good if you are listening to music whilst lying down. They are not really everyday portable headphones. Make everything sound great, however they really deserve to be used with at least high quality CD resolution music sources. Not stylish but very functional looking.
Review: Sennheiser HD 251 MKII or Allen&Heath Xone xd53? - Hi everyone, I have some time to write a short review (well not a real review, but sharing of my experience) on these headphones and i can say that they sound great! Sound quality is very good, so much clarity in sound and great bass response! ..I had to choose Allen&Heath Xone xd53 over Sennheiser HD 251 MKII .. it was very tough decision to make, and i couldn't make up my mind for three days. I had xd52 and HD25-1 both at the same time, but i had to make a final choice.. So what facts i pushed from to make this choice? NOTE: I'm not a DJ, i just love quality in sound. First of all the cord is a bit too short in HD25, so i had some issues while using those at my office. XD53 has a coiled part of cord which makes it not too short and not too long - adapts on situation (non-detachable which is -). Second when wearing HD25 my LEFT ear (outside part) started to hurt after half an hour of use - but i believe, that this is my personal problem, though both ears looks identical in the mirror))) and i think that happened because i wear glasses. Also 3 of my friends said similar thing, that the pressure is quite strong on your ears when wearing HD25s. On the other hand (if you don't wear glasses and you have normal ears)) HD25 are MUCH lighter than XD53 and i believe that you would be able to wear them for longer periods of time than XD53. HD25 don't bend in anyway, so it is a bit scary to throw them in your back pack, while you can easily bend XD53's + they'll take less space even though they are much bigger. On the other hand you can replace almost any part of HD25 Sound quality - the hardest thing to choose between both.. On iPod: HD25 has a very clear and crisp sound which is really great thing, but sometimes you miss a bit of warmth, and bass feels not that powerful as in XD53's (on iPOD!), while XD53's loose a bit in clarity department, but on iPod XD53's have a better balance and fullness in sound, which made me feel more comfortable. Also XD53s feel a bit more powerful, when i tested this by changing plugs (HD25/XD53 and the other way around)on the same volume level on my iPod. I guess much depends on a custom equalizer settings (which doesn't exist in my iPod) and it should be adjusted to every pair separately to bring out their best (on default iPOD sound settings XD53 win!). I've tested both on my Yamaha amplifier: Again HD25 sound very clear and now i could feel the proper bass power on H25s as well! XD53 lose in clarity a bit, but had a bit warmer feeling and the bass was very powerful too! Thing i've noticed that HD25 showed their best bass on minus 5 volume setting (after that, nothing good), while in XD53 to bring their best bass i had to raise it up to plus 6! This amazed me a bit, because i thought that if you got bigger impedance then you can play them on greater volumes (you don't want to listen to any of them on highest possible volume for a longer time)) (HD25 has more impedance than XD53), but i think that happened because HD25s has smaller drivers, while XD53 has huge 53mm ones. HD25s has greater sound isolation and that's a win against XD53s. To conclude, both are really great headphones for the same price tag, but that makes it is really hard to choose one over another, one compromise over another. My choice of Allen&Heath Xone xd53 was mostly based on my iPod experience and i decided to return Sennheiser HD 251 MKII and it was really hard to say good bye!!.. ;( I guess that in the end it comes down to a personal choices and preferences. Thank you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***A on 16 January 2023*

Ero indeciso tra le sennheiser hd 25 o le AIAI TMA, per fortuna che ho scelto le HD 25. Le consiglio vivamente per un uso da DJ, per studio non ne ho le competenze, ma fino ad adesso sono le migliori che abbia mai provato. Vi consiglio di acquistare un CASE apposito per riporle, poiché sono molto delicate. Pro: - Qualità del suono - Insonorizzazione - Leggerezza Contro: - Prezzo un pò elevato - Delicate
