I liked these so well I bought them in the only two colors I could find - navy and taupe (black is back ordered until November), then bought another pair of both colors. It features an easy-to-use gain control button for muting and it allows real-time monitoring. Clips are very sticky and dont seem to be bothered by painted surfaces, but uneven surfaces such as textured walls might pose an issue. Ive seen HD-25 on most DJs heads on Ibiza. These are JBLs, the lower line of Harmon Kardon so I was not expecting superior sound but I was pleasantly pleased that they sounded really good especially if you tune them with the app. Ive owned a lot of pairs of noise canceling headphones. Ill update if anything changes. Just started using it. I will buy these again as a gift for my dad. After break it was still at 70%.
