Heya.

I have the HD25SP. Kicks ass.
Except the 2 wires issue (one wire for each side, tends to get twisted once in a while) they rock.
I don't see myself switching to anything else at the moment.

Go for it.

Dunno if I'd want to cos it set me back an extra £40.

Is there much difference between the two? Sound quality, Toughness?

Definitely go for the HD-25 over the SP's. I have a pair of HD-25 and nothing compares... well maybe the pair of sennheisers that go for $15K

Great clarity, and well balanced sound in general.

They're very sturdy and you can individiually replace all the parts.

I tried the HD-25SP's once and found they weren't as strong etc. I felt like I was going to break them. That and the dual cable thing which got annoying.

dont get the SPs just get the normal 25s!

they are way better!

Agreed! I have a pair of HD25's, and I wouldn't trade them for anything else.

I've tried the 25SP's, but they don't even come close to the 'real' thing.

Just buy the normal HD25s, they are definately worth the extra money.

yah spend the extra $ and get the hd25. Don'y bother with the sp model.

Currently I am looking into a set of headphones and was shown the HD25's. They were the guys own so he takes one of the cans off and lobs it about 15 feet from where we were standing. Than says "oh yeah, the reason I like these is because if I just wrecked that one, it takes 20secs to replace."

I dont know about the rest of you but I dont think I would be tossing my own headphone speakers around. It was a really good demonstartion though.

I've heard nothing but wicked reviews for these, I will prob end up getting them or the Pioneer Hdj 1000s. Or the Sony's dmr V6's...whichever I find suit me.

When you get to that level of quality it eventually has to boil down to personal preference.

the Senn HD25 was 'the dj' headphone for a few years. I think it still is considered as a standard for some ppl. However, I feel that many things like I feel that advertising and sponsership influences many djs to buy lesser quality headphones. Many times i see ppl considering headphones that a couple of years back would be considered junk. However, now those same 'junk' cans are respectable, because they saw tiesto or Van dyk wearing them. Pure BS.
Also, part of the reason why I think the Senn HD25 has not gotten the respect it deserves from a broad market, is because of its looks.
Many consumers, djs or not, like purchasing items that are pleasing to the eye, and they usually will sacrifice a bit of quality for it.
I actually got a chance to try out the senns HD25 just a couple of weeks back.... all i have to say is they are quality. I own a pair of MDR7506 (pro versoin of sony's V6), and even though the sony mDR7506 does sound good for its price, I feel the Sennheiser HD25 sound better. Highs are more natural, not as bright and the bass and mids are better. I dont think we can also compare the HD25 to the HD280, cause you cantt... sound is just better on the HD25, ive heard them both. The sound is even better on my MDR7506 than the HD280
