I'm bumping this thread because I have a little question. I've been using my Sennheiser HD25-1 II's now for 8 months or so, and I absolutely love them.
Only thing is, I'm constantly using them, every day, every week. Busrides, tramrides, listening to music at home, dj'ing, producing etc.
So I was thinking of cutting them some slack and get some other headphones just for the rides on the bus, tram, listening to some music etc and keeping the HD25 for the more professional work.

Was thinking about getting HD25 SPII's, the cheaper brother of the regular HD25 (still pretty expensive though). Are they worth it?
Or are there better & cheaper ones around for everyday use? They need to have a good amount of sub and need to block some noise.

AKG's (although the wire gave up on mine after 1.5 years). Extensive use though.

These are great, I got 'em originally for live sound engineering but great in the studio. Used to use them for DJ'ing as well but had to switch to the HD25's in the end for the lightiness :D

how's the bass response on these? been meaning to upgrade from my budget Sony bass boosters to a proper pair of headphones for production, but I don't wanna end up buying something that's flat response but got very weak bass
