Sennheiser have long been the leading brand in headphone technology and style. Since 1945 they have been the pioneers of many Headphone and Mic technologies, from aviation headphones in the 80’s (NoiseGrad 1987) to the go-to brand for pro DJ’s and sound engineers around the world. Sennheiser have always and will always produce the best quality products: Creativity, Quality and Style.
So what’s next on the cards for Sennheiser? Talking with there German HR I was leaked some very interesting news, Sennheiser has teamed up with another German heavy weight for their next line of custom headphones. It got me thinking? Becks? BMW… Hugo Boss? What could it possibly be? You guessed it – Adidas.
What could Adidas bring to Sennheiser you may ask? The answer is… (If it is indeed possible) more STYLE – more accurately; street style. We all know Adidas, and what they do; they are basically the definition of street style and class. So as you could imagine I was incredibly excited about what they could achieve. Nothing prepared me for what they would do.
We all know Sennheiser HD-25 -1 II… if you are anywhere near a half decent DJ they are using these black, lightweight but high quality DJ headphones. What could Adidas bring to this already near-perfect design? The answer is – Colour and basically; all round awesome-ness.
I received the package thanks to Sennheiser Germany; at first look I am thinking… they sent me some sneakers? The packaging is a shoebox, coloured with a wicked bright blue, with the Adidas stripes down the side. I open the box to reveal a pair of the sweetest HD-25-1 II I have ever seen. They’re coloured with the same wicked blue, from the earpieces to the padding to the cord; and of course there is the addition of the iconic Adidas 3-stripes. It’s a very simple but very effective design.
And of course, from my last Sennheiser Headphone review – “This is a phenomenal piece of DJ equipment, no wonder it’s the most widely accepted DJ tool.” The sound quality is second to none for the price, and the added style to the headphones will definitely set you apart from any other DJ’s. Pick these up and you will be the talk of the town. From the low basses to high hats, the quality and functionality is amazing, very, very crisp.
