The HD-25 is one of the best ever designed and manufactured thing in the world. I am not kidding, one of the most durable thing I ever used, you can maintain it to work forever. It is also a workhorse, sounds nice, you could use it for any scenario as a ground zero. For anyone who starts any profession, or journey in sound making, recording, djing, etc. this is a thing you want to own first. It is like a good tripod for a photo- or videographer, if you spend your money on the right one, it will be with you almost forever! I started to use them around 12 years ago and still having it, this is the second time I need to rewire it with the official kit. I use it for djing and also in A/V related work, and there is still no broken parts, and flawless sound. Only buy another headphones if you already own a HD-25!
