The sennheiser hd25's are ok, but unless you buy the expensive ones ( £130+) which I think are the hd25 plus? you have those annoying wires coming from both sides, and as i have a large swede I used to find them uncomfortable...but yep you guessed it - now I have the sonys...not sure how long they'll last - I've had them about 6 months, and i play out about 6 times a month, and they're holding up ok. I find the sound quality good , and to be honest the sennhesiers start fraying and looking sh*t after about the same time, and the end of the day you can only expect about a year out of whatever headphones I reckon![]()
