The HD 25 SPECIAL EDITION starts from the classic HD 25's legendary base but adds a swiveling capsule that enables supra-aural single-ear use, the classic booth-monitoring technique, plus exclusive velour pads for this edition and a hard case to carry it safely. The 70 Ω impedance is identical to the standard model, with a slightly extended frequency range (16Hz-22kHz) and total harmonic distortion under 0.3%.
With 1,132 reviews and a 4.6/5 average, it has very solid backing, the second-highest in the entire HD 25 family in this catalog. It's also one of the few Sennheiser products in this batch with an explicit 2-year factory warranty on the listing.

SE edition is the best value for money. You are getting the velour earpads which are more comfortable than the original ones and they also come with a large branded case. Comfort-wise, it is as good as over-ear headphones can go. The sound is amazing, but make sure you have a proper amplifier. Without the amp, it sounds very boring on iPhone. New M headphone jacks are really good though. This is the best experience for metal. Riffs are tight and very energetic. For electronic music, the bass is very crisp and deep. Highs can be harsh so screaming vocals can be a bit fatiguing but honestly, there are the best headphones I have ever had. Paired with Fiio Bluetooth amp it makes me dance in the streets like crazy.
✓ AmazonGreat deal, definitly the most solid headphones for djs. Love the velvet earpads.
