Coincidentally they are on sale at the moment.

I’m considering them, but:
I already have HD-25sps. However they are a good 20 years old and are actually the British Airways freebies that were given out on Concord. How much better can I expect the 25s to be vs the sp?
Secondly, they’d be purely for DJing. I like that the cable is on one side, but I’m actually not sure that the headband is better for mixing, at least not at home where I do all my mixing now and probably forever. Reason being, is that I will often have them, cup facing upward, on my shoulders - and just crank my neck briefly to monitor. Although I have been mixing more in headphones and am planning to be able to use ‘split-cue’ in future.
So, am I buying these because they are on sale, or are they a worthwhile upgrade?
I understand that the cups/drivers themselves are technically different - and who knows if the BA ones are different still - but I’m not technical enough to know how impedance, sensitivity and distortion are going to manifest themselves in how good they are to mix with...

Have a look at Etymotic. They are essentially earplugs with audio. Even without playing any
music they will block out most background noise and you can play your music at lower levels.
They are also small and light so will not fall out or be affected by sweat.

My old sennheiser hd 25s have not appreciated being used 5 times a week for turbo sessions this year and have died. What would make good closed back headphones for turbo use - need to block out the noise of the turbo, and can’t be wireless headphones.
