Sony Headphone Headband Replacement

The Senal SMH-1000-MK2is lightweight, the cushiony ear pads and headband should fit confortably to everyone. I like the fact that the bottom headband side that touches my head is made of leather / leatherette, which is easy to clean with a mild detergent or 50% (max solution) alchohol with a soft cloth, rather than the headphones that are made of a mesh material which accumulates dirt and body stuff.  Additionally, I recommend buying disposable headband and ear pad protectors such as the Auray Disposable Over-Ear Headphone Covers (50 Pairs, Black) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1585973-REG/auray_hpc_45bk_disposable_headphone_cover_4_5.html for the ultimate in hygiene thus keeping that letter finish from deteriorating due to skin oils. Once I tried it, I can't go back. I love having those disposable pads on every single headphone I own! They also make in white. Performance: This headphone is excellent for critical listening for music and audio monitoring for video production. It has sufficient treble and the mid range boost vocals slightly and gently, just the right amount which is desired, thus maintaining the midrange mild, not piercing.  I tested this headphone listening to Metal, Techno, Classical and HipHop. It provides the adequate amount of bass in a way the studio meant to be heard, balancing all frequencies as a whole. If you're a bass head looking for bass shattering headphones, where 99% of BASS is all that matters before the actual rest of the music, this is not the product for you. Volume: With the impedance of 64 Ohms, even on a MacBook Air, it is loud enough. About 90db, which is loud enough . If you want louder, it will depend on the equipment you are using. Therefore, I'm pleased with this headphone. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review].

Out of the box and with some break-in time, the sound is very forward, and weak in the bass. I found that this headphone was easy to EQ to a neutral sound, although the deep bass just isn't there. Still, most music, and even classic 'Tracker' organ music sounds pretty good with the right parametric EQ. The high frequencies are good up to the important upper treble harmonics. The tiny cables going to the earcups have no strain reliefs, and as I expect the majority of end-users are going to be children who carry the headphone around with them, the failure rate will probably be pretty high within a few months. The earpads are very smooth and convex-shaped, so they slide off of the ears easily with head movements, and may not provide a good enough seal to the ears in cooler temperatures in order to make the best of what bass response is available. The headband is very thin and the headphone is feather-light, so comfort will not be an issue. The fit to my average-size head has the headband very near the minimum size position, so the Flats will fit average-to-large heads, whereas I expect most of the users will have small heads and need to put some extra padding under the headband to keep it in place. With proper care, this headphone could give good musical service for a long time, making it a real bargain, but the price will probably attract only those who expect far less. Still, highly recommended based on my notes here.

I'm only starting to get into mixing techno on my Pioneer DDJ-400, and wanted something more durable than my over-ear Sony XB950BT's. The Sony's are fun sounding headphones, but I knew I needed something a little more neutral and not bass boosted. The build quality of the HD25 is most definitely plastic, but the headband and earphone hinges are durable feeling in the sense that they won't eventually snap from taking them on/off your head multiple times during a mix/set. The finish is this dark, almost matte-like low gloss - will help prevent scratches and hide wear very well. It's also a good benefit that all HD25 components can be replaced, which adds to the longevity of the product and means less wasteful consumerism by buying new, throwaway product. The sound - definitely an increase in highs and mids, with the bass not rumbly/boomy like my Sony XB950BT. The bass can get strong, but it is controlled and cleaner. I'm no audiophile, but I now understand that the type of messy, festival/rave bass isn't the right kind of bass when it comes to mixing. The HD25's also have pretty good noise isolation considering its an on-ear design. I actually wore these for about 2-3 hours today after receiving them with hardly any ear soreness. The split headband does help alleviate some of the pressure off your ears. Definitely noticed that I didn't get hot or sweat (even during this hot afternoon). An over the ear headphone would make me feel the opposite. They're very lightweight and comfortable, and adding 3rd party ear pads would only make the comfort even better. Overall, for the $99 price I got these at makes this a very good value considering how these will probably last me the next decade - a timeless and robust piece of DJ kit everyone should have.

By far the xm3 is the best headphone I had. It reproduces truly beautiful sounds. It's a must have from Sony!

I like it. I seen you get the new headband and a battery pack

initially used this headphone in a Sony Store, was blown away by the quality and have not found anything better so bought myself one.

I guess this will come to no shock to anyone but Sony has done it again. I can't tell you how blowed away I am over all that they have changed to make this headphone better than anything on the market. Making these headphone lighter and adding that new chipset that made the N/C and sound better was the end to all debates about who was truly the best in the world for N/c headphones. The previous one caused me a lot of Migraines and dizziness because of it's clamping and overall weight but these are unlike anything I could have hope for. Thank you so much Sony for making the most complete and best N/C headphone in the world. The bass is the thumping without interfering with the highs and mids. The soundstage is the best I've heard for closed back headphones. I have been listening all sorts of headphones and earphones and these headphones have created the most detailed of all of them. I also love the call quality this time around vs the previous model. Finally I can talk on the phone without the other person complaining about the clarity. They even made Google assistant almost instant.

Perfect replacement for the Sony NP50

Lost my eyepiece and this is a very affordable replacement from Sony.

Easy to say this is the best replacement part for Sony lenses.
