Clear sound
The headphone looks good, the metal is real metal and it feels solid. The whole HD25 series has a reputation for being indestructible.
It comes with 2 cables, one has a 90deg plug and no mic/buttons, the other has a straight plug and mic/buttons. Both are good, the mic has a clip which is nice.
The sound: very monitor/studio like. Bass is there but it doesn't extend to the lowest notes very well, unfortunately. The treble is bright. Midrange is not as good as the bass or treble, it's a bit V-shaped. If you get it on sale it's a good value.

I've used Sennheisers since the '80's, a variety of models for studio and field recording...but nothing recently until I picked up this pair of Amperiors from Sonic.
The Amperiors have excellent sound quality...not perfect, but excellent, enjoyable and stable. I was driving them through a Dragonfly attached to my laptop with Pandora, but when I got Pandora for free via T-Mobile on my Samsung Galaxy 4s, I've switched to that and it is equally enjoyable. This is a decent rig for work, where I need the closed ear cups and I listen to my music to block noise from the cubes near me.
Like other reviewers, I'll say that the fit isn't perfect - the ear pressure is a bit too high, but I find that by grabbing both ear cups before putting the headphones on, and flexing the plastic arms, they soften up just enough to be more comfortable. I do wear glasses under them and that works just fine.
Impeccable construction quality. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I enjoy them about as much as my old HD25's the headphone these constantly get compared to. Great service from Sonic

The audible qualities of this set of headphones is well documented elsewhere online and I can only reaffirm the positive reviews. I am by no means an 'audiophile', but the sound quality is outstanding.
One oft-quoted criticism is the comfort, which according to many is relatively poor due to the strong clamping effect of the headband. I cannot attest to this discomfort, and find them to be comfortable for listening periods of over a couple of hours.
The main positive of this review is the excellent price offered here by Sonic Electronix. Although this model is discontinued this sale price is as good as any you'll find online. My shipment also included a 'free' pair of in-ear headphones, which certainly sweetened the deal.
Would definitely recommend.
