A great closed set of headphones.
By R. Hiranaka
First of all I should say that I love these. They're lightweight, innocuous, and do a good job with muffling sounds outside. I say muffle, as coming from IEMs they do not isolate yourself completely from people talking to you (though they do have to speak much louder than they normally would), but they do isolate yourself from sounds of a city or an airplane. I've taken these on a flight and they are quite lovely. Instead of that awful humming from active NC (think Bose QCs), they merely attenuate all sound around me. I can still hear the flight attendents, yet for some reason can't hear the baby three seats behind me.As for sound quality, these are quite lovely. While certainly not the best headphones I've ever heard (I reserve that distinction for the HD650s and Grado HF-1s), they have a nice, deep and accurate bass that helps distract from the din of the outside world. Vocals are presented quite well, and as everyone else has said here... treble could use some work. I've only noticed the annoyance in classical pieces, more specifically with strings.These headphones are built well. Despite being mostly plastic, they do look like they could survive a beating. I've already dropped them a couple of times, and they haven't had a scratch. Plus even if you do manage to break them outside of warranty or are at fault for breaking them Sennheiser has a parts shop to replace most any part. While I have not yet had to deal with them for this headphone, I have had to get replacement pads for another of their headphones and they were quite courteous in sending them and even emailed me instructions on how to properly replace them. I suspect that despite this headphone's high price, it'll in the end prove its own value by outliving me.Sadly besides the treble they do have a slight problem in their comfort. They initially have a vicegrip on your head. While this helps with isolation it certainly isn't comfortable for the first couple of weeks. Fortunately it does stretch out slightly with regular use, and now I can wear it comfortably even with glasses. If I wanted more grip (for better isolation or if I'm being shaken about for whatever reason), I could just split the headband a bit.In short this headphone is a great one. Perhaps the best I've ever encountered for a closed headphone, and my new favorite for portable use. Sure they're a bit uncomfortable, bad for classical strings, and look butt ugly... but that just means that they're great at isolation, good at just about every other kind of music, and have little appeal to a mugger.

Great headphone
By Jatin Sharma
I switched from Senn PX-200 to HD-25s. Can't compare these two as one is $40 and the other is $180. Sound quality is great. I was suggested these by a member in head-fi.org. It is light in weight, although double the weight of PX-200. Even though they are comparatively bigger, I use them for jogging. People do notice them on me when I am running. I really don't care as I am engrossed in listening to some high quality music.

By Calin Gavris
Despite their size these headphones are intended for professional use. DJ Mag voted this product No 1 last year, and I've noticed a few influential Dj's using it in live shows (eg Paolo Mojo). Personally I don't like to use them while dj-ing because I find them a bit uncomfortable. They are very well built though, with all the components replaceable and providing a good noise cancellation but not near any bigger size headphones. The base is a kind of disappointing for this price. Also, beacause of their light weight, they were built with a tough plastic headband (adjustable in length but not in pressure) which makes them uncomfortable especially if you wear glasses (the soft sponge headband reenforcement doesn't help here). These headphones will last and I'm sure they will be able to provide an ok sound for a long time adding the coolness of a minimalist design but I strongly recommend that you try them on for a couple of weeks before you buy them.
