Good: Superb sound, almost indestructible, great value compared to most competitors in the price range.

Bad: Half baked attempt to market this at its intended audience.

Comment: First of all, I picked these up for around £120 in the States, which is a real bargain compared to the prices here in the UK. The sound that comes from these cans are incredible, with great instrument separation, crystal clear (but not shrill) trebles, and a very well rounded bass. For these reasons, they are almost ubiquitous amongst DJs and broadcasters. You will find these on the ears of many sports commentary teams - so taking this and my own personal experience into account, I have no idea where this notion of discomfort comes from.

Another issue I have with this review is that these headphones are in fact known for being the most durable and well built in the business. I know a friend who bought some Beats by Dre only to find that the one of the earcups just fell off after a few months of use. In addition, every part of the HD25 is replaceable for a reasonable price from the Sennheiser website. And the issue with the stiff swivelling left earcup is complete rubbish since that's easily adjusted with a half turn of a screw.

I personally like the design of this Adidas version of the Sennheiser classic, since I got it for a very reasonable price, and it does help to make the headphone ever slightly more visually appealing (I happen to wear these quite a lot when I'm out and about) without looking as downright hideous as anything from the Beats range. Having said that, Sennheiser and Adidas have clearly missed their target market if these were intended as competitors to such cans as the Beats - a few blue stripes and changing the colour of the pads is not going to convince the average non-audiophile consumer to purchase these over the Beats. Also, having to pay the £30 or so extra for such a small modification in appearance is a bit ridiculous.

However, I couldn't be happier with this set of cans - the sound quality is incredible and I actually like the fact that it's missed its target audience - I'm happy to wear these in public and I find it refreshing to be amongst the minority who appreciate good sound quality.

Good: the incomparable sound, the resistance of the headphones and the desing

Comment: I do not regret having bought these headphones because the sound is excellent and the design is unique. does not compare to the beats, beats do not sound like sennheiser and never will

Good: Sound, build quality

Bad: Price

Comment: I picked up a pair of these yesterday, to replace my Monster Beats Solo HDs. I was worried I'd be losing bass response, but if I have, it's barely noticeable.

The HD25s feel considerably more durable, comfortable and the mids + highs are unbelievably clear. I seriously cannot recommend these enough.

Good: Everything

Bad: Looks

Comment: I'm sorry but your review was the worst review. You didn't even mention the sound quality. And poor build quality? I've had these headphones since it came out and not once has it failed me. I can just throw them in my bad without worry of it breaking because these headphones are built like a tank. I thought that maybe your pair was defective until you recommend Dr Dre Beats... SOLO... -_-... You sir are the most ignorant headphone reviewer in the world.

Good: Sound quality, Durability, Style

Bad: nothing...

Comment: I can't believe how novice the reviewer must be in the field of headphones. For one, these are probably seen as the number one DJ headphones. Secondly, the build quality is amazing.. every part can be replaced and they are not flimsy whatsoever. I have absolutely NO idea what you mean when you say they are uncomfortable and have a bad build quality. I was actually mad at how bad this review was until I realized that you recommended the beats by dre. Now I know your either an idiot that is attracted by an overpriced accessory and has been played by an advertising campaign. Or you are endorsed by Dre yourself.

Good: Great sound, slick looking, solid build.

Bad: Heavy clamping at first. Nice colours, but the Adidas logo is annoying.

Comment: You guys are obviously not wearing these correctly! You should set them at a setting that is looser, and tighten with the splitting headbands. They also take time to loosen up, so do not give up on them. They do become quite comfy if worn right.
Also, did you seriously just recommend Beats Solos? Those are some of the WORST sounding headphones on the market. I'm sorry, but after seeing that, I can't take this site's headphones reviews seriously anymore. In terms of bass heavy headphones, go for the even cheaper Sony XB series.
