yeh, may delay it a day or 2.. however, on the site it says to allow up to 28 days incase of problems at customs, so lets hope all goes well.. doubt that ever realy occurs anyway

Got my hd25s today (typically the day after my last gig before uni exams), and they truly are worth the money.

It is surprising how cheap and flimsy they look and feel, I was almost under the impression that they sent me the wrong ones (because ive heard how strong they are). But in saying that its in their simple design that gives them their strength, i doubt i'll ever be able to break these.

Considering the relatively small earpieces (from what i was used to), the isolation is top notch. The sound quality is so good i picked up static on some of my lower quality mp3s, something which i couldnt do before.

The only downside is of course the cord length, which could use another 1/2 meter or so.

will take me a bit to get used to wearing them, but other than that, they are sick

www.vinylwarning.com.au

look under dj equipment and you'll find them, im pretty sure they have a 1.5m & 3m conversion for the HD 25s...

was thinking of selling them last week... but i couldnt bring myself to doing it, ive used them a little more at home and am slowing getting used to them, love em

best thing about them... they dont crank to stupid levels like other headphones do which is great when playing on a big system... doesnt hurt your ears

EDIT

whats so good about the velour earpads???

...and yeh, they may look simple etc, but i havent seen a pair of headphones where you look more pro when wearing them :lol:

thats odd hey...

seems a fair complaint among dj`s..

probably should just stop drinking so much before playing so i keep still / not fall over.

I don't see the issue with length.. take your fucking headphones off between tunes if you have to.. never been a problem for me

its a massive difference when you've been use to longer cords, or the spiral ones which extend out a fair bit.

1m is a little small, sometimes when the booth is spread out, going to a cdj can be hard when the cord is so short... taking them on and off gets annoying aswell...

the solution is to simply be better prepared ;)

Nic, how can taking headphones on and off be annoying when you have to put vinyl/cd's on and off all the time? :blink:

I been doing this since you were shitting yellow and it's never bothered me

long cords just get in the way, and make perfect trip cords for other DJ's and MC's that maybe loitering in the near vicinity. TOO many times have I seen mixers go walk about because people have tripped on, or forgotten about the headphone plug still firmly inserted in the mixer.

Try taking them off when your not cueing up.
Dont worry Slide, as long as your in the booth, the chicks wont know the difference.

Shit, do you need to even ask? It messes up his hair! He's doing it for the bitches after all.

Long leads shit me, they tangle up and whatnot, but if you want a longie just buy an extender and gaff it.

Now onto my problem, I've got sennheiser HD25 but one driver(?) is fucked and over the last 2 years ive been to slack to replace it. It seems a newie will cost me around $110, where new cans from chemicals are about $250, should i just get the driver or a new pair?
