HD 25 - The Watermelon Challenge | Sennheiser

[@dingatudor5176]

So all in all, if someone decides to bash my skull with a bat while I d be playing music, the headphones would be intact. Good to know

[@cosmologicdj3994]

Yeah and please sideways so only one ear cup comes of

[@TinkleAssify]

Ah yes HD 25s and G-Shocks, my favourites. The items that will survive a strike that will render you broken. They should do a collaboration lol.

[@bravestarr2001]

And with the high ambient noise isolation, you won't even hear it coming.

[@mayaparamita2254]

At least somebody else can use it 😁

[@PANTHEONICS]

And the person who hit you can use the headphones without any problems after you. Take care.

100% checks out. In 2008 I tripped over a record box in a DJ booth and bust my head open with my HD25s on. 13 years later I'm watching this video and listening to it with the very same pair of HD25s

[@goldtvlive1017]

These are like the indestructible Nokia phone of headphones.

[@EricBishard]

I was shot in the head while DJing a barbecue. I did lose a good portion of my face and cannot hear out of either ear. The headphones however still work great and I use them ... well almost never, but my wife likes them, especially on those dark nights when I have a splitting headache and scream a lot.

[@RyanWalsh83]

I thought you guys were gonna keep playing music louder until the watermelon exploded. I was like, hmm I'm not sure I want to buy those if I can do that accidentally to myself. But turns out that was not the case. So I will buy a pair.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

On many sets, I've seen sound guys/girls with HD25 more than 10 years old. One of them told me his had over 20 years of duty without any glitch. Mine is already 5 years old, I use it most everyday on set or at home... just fine, for probably some 10 extra years. Vielen danke Sennheiser !

[@samwu1836]

R.I.P the three (possibly more) watermelons. I'm gonna have to report Sennheiser for crimes against watermelons.

[@LevelH34D]

I’ve got mine for 14 years... As long as you guys support the parts I believe these cans will outlive me. I’ll be passing these down to the next generations... even if music will be emitted directly to our brains, there will still be people listening to these just like vinyl records these days. xD

[@hectorg.7282]

The key point is "if they support the parts." I have a few vintage Sennheiser headphones and they no longer make the ear pads for them. You can find after market ones but they change the sound and it is not worth having them at that point.

A lightweight, plastic open back Sennheiser was my first proper headphone. I bought it in my teens and it survived 12 years of my long daily use and neglect only needing one replacement cable. I discovered so much music with it, they are wonderful headphones.

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

still have mine from 1998. Going strong!!

[@funnyyellowdog8833]

I bought my pair (25-1II) about 6 years ago, and didn't even have to buy a new cable. It's great to know that I can replace every single part of it -- including cosmetic customization and pad material. And since they have been in production for over 30 years, that's not going to change in the near future. The HD25 is the workhorse of headphones, and it's a symbol of german engineering.

[@phoenix9531]

Not gonna lie, the ad seemed so weird at first I was expecting it to be ironic and reveal something later in the vid, but no, it was just really... Unnecessary.

[@JunaidStudies-id9yd]

[@r0mpastompa]

I have my HD-25-1 since now 18 years in daily-use and they still perform like on the first day! I changed the head-pad and cable once and the ear-pads all 2-4 years. The only issue that i ever had was a loose contact with the left ear-bud, which can be fixed by stretching the springs inside of the earbud that fixes the contacts.

[@frederikreyntjens503]

Have mine for about 20 years already... only broke the wire beacouse it got caught in an angle grinder equipped with a wire Weel. Shredded the cable in a million pieces, had to find the ear cups 20 meters away. But after putting a new cable (sadly a Chinese one) all worked as new!!!! Highly recommend this brand and I love the sound!!!

[@Zamperla]

I just got mine. A bit confuzzled at first with the logo and box design change, I even got to think they were a fake pair, but now I know they're genuine and man!! they're freaking awesome!!

[@Hickey1910]

ive got mine around 2000/2001, cant remember the exact date. still have it & the only thing that needed a swap were the earpads.

[@kamilpruszynski7132]

[@ohjajohh]

My HD25 headphones are about 18 years old now and still perform well. I had to change numerous cables and pads though, but it's still a great headphone in 2024

[@therealmikeward]

Mine only last me for 5 years of daily use and DJ booths... because I stupidly LOST them on an aeroplane. I have no doubt they would have lasted many more sets of 5 years. Which is why I'm buying another pair. For me, these are the most iconic headphones ever made. Thanks for not messing with them in the name of marketing, or making an "update" every few years, Sennheiser.

[@annisasabrina8259]

what has the quarantine done to you guys

[@thegamerpsyche4139]

so what your saying is, as long as I land on my head my headphones wont break...gotcha honestly im jus really impressed by their attention to detail in their products

[@erikerikerikerikerik]

even better with these is that if you did manage to break a part on them, i’m fairly certain just about every part is replaceable. so you could just buy a replacement part and they’d still be good

[@fabiobarbosa3704]

This video is quite cool, but for me Sennheiser doesn’t need to prove anything else with the HD 25’s, I own a pair of HD 25-1 since the year of 2000, non stop for 5 years in row while was living and DJing at house parties and the only part I had to change was the ear pads , it’s still looking brand new and sounds amazingly nice. I also do own a Pioneer HDJ-X10 , I like those but nothing like the crispy HD 25’s that I’m in love with. Thanks to Sennheiser!

[@matheusnews]

Got mine for 7 years now, absolutely love them. Amazing travel headphones, closed back, well isolated and balanced response. Used them to record various tracks and to travel, they're a great closed back reliable option.

[@leezalee7378]

What do you mean by closed back? Thank you

[@matheusnews]

@@leezalee7378 closed back headphones are isolated, they don't have an air passage through the back of the speaker. Great for noisy environments, recording, stage monitoring. Open back headphones, such as the big classic Sennheiser HD 600, have a bigger "soundstage" due to the open back that lets air flow, they have a little bit less punchy bass, but more defined bass and a bigger "soundstage", the music feels bigger. But they let any noise pass in and out, not good for noisy environments or listening to anything you're ashamed of haha cause it leaks a lot.

[@leezalee7378]

@@matheusnews great explanation 👍 haha thank you. My only concern is they are not over the ear (I hear thats better for noisy environments), but sounds like the closed back feature makes up for it.

[@matheusnews]

@@leezalee7378 they have really good isolation, I used them on public transport a lot

[@drewlawrence696]

I have a pair of these that I use as drum monitors and for my lousy bass playing. Also use a pair of momentums for general listening. I used to have a pair in 1982 and only ended up discarding them as the big yellow foam pads simply fell apart (and Sennheiser had stopped making them). Great headphones.

[@Prataz]

I have 2 pairs of HD25s and they are so damn durable! Great for travels and awesome audio. But they do clamp the head like a vice and it's painful after awhile. What do you suggest to improve on the comfort.

[@LevelH34D]

Get some yaxi pads! They are like pillowy clouds on your ears

[@rajan8479]

are this headphones good for movie and editing?

[@punamipower]

It would be nice if you would adress the flimsy connection between the cable and the drivers that causes sound intreruptions. My pair of hd 25's has had this problem since I've bought them. It's been such an annoying problem for so long now and it's a shame because they're excellent headphones.

[@gabsauvage]

Best headphone ad ever!

[@DigitalMusicXpress]

I can believe this, I had a HD202 that suffered for a long time of relentless abuse for over 10 years before the chord broke off when a chair gripped it and snapped it. I would happily get Senneiser again if I have the cash!

[@evshrug]

My Panera Bread cafe had a pair of HD 202 for watching training vids... whenever I was on dishes and nobody was training, they let me use them 😃 The HD 25 were originally designed as reusable airplane headphones for the high class passengers, but they’re also good for performing musicians in the recording booth or DJ’s on stage. If the cord frayed and broke on the HD 25, it’s actually detachable and you could just replace it. EarPads are replaceable too. There are some people who still have and use their HD 25 from when it was released in 1988!!

[@ehsan83]

I've been using the HD-25 for more than 10 years now. I need to get a new pair of headphones with the same sound quality but equipped with bluetooth because I'm done with the cable. What's my options Sennheiser?

Is HD25 plus could does mix and master as well? I haven't see people mix and master using HD 25 plus. While in the box there is written "DJ and Studio" . Any videos, @Sennheiser?

[@zeon86]

They look cheap, because they're made with plastic. But the plastic used in HD25 is very very tough, that brings durability and lightness. I sold mine because of their high clamp force. Don't get me wrong, as the video said, HD25 is for mobile monitoring, so robust, light and stable are what they should be. I don't fancy metal, that adds weight. I hope Senneheiser keep that principle, make more robust, light weight (under 250g) , great sounding consumer headphones.

[@evshrug]

Like an HD 280 Pro with lighter clamp?

[@zeon86]

@@evshrug Haven't used HD280pro, but I guess 280 has better soundstage.

Allo, petite suggestion à Sennheiser sur le flex 5000. Dans le manuel d' utilisation, ajouté quelque chose comme. Avant de brancher le câble optique retirer le capuchon transparent à l' extrémité. Les endroits où l' électronique est installé, est souvent une pièce pas des plus éclairé. Et vue la taille de l' enbout c' est très facile de passer à coté de ce detail et commencer à regretter son achat. Enfin moi ça va. Merci. En espérant n' avoir rien abîmer. Le son passait quand même avec le capuchon mais le branchement était instable. Jusqu'à sortir tout seul en quelques heures. (câble venant avec le flex 5000

[@ARodriguez0989]

@@rajan8479 @Hmm the headphones are great, they've been the most durable headphones I've owned for DJ'ing, strong, great sound and every part is replaceable so if something breaks you can just replace the one piece instead of buying a brand new pair of headphones. As far as movie editing goes, I think I would go for a studio headphone over these. These sit on ear and not over the ear so prolonged use would probably start to hurt your ears a bit and there's really no noise cancelation. If you're just looking to do editing here and there and don't plan on doing ultra long sessions they'll be fine but after doing 5 or 6 hour dj sets with these on, my ears tend to feel a little sore.
