Figured I could help answer these at least a little bit.
1. Just used them extensively on airplanes over the holidays. They isolated well and kept the screaming kids and babies at bay. The only thing that they didn't stop was when I was seated right next to an engine (as in I look out the window and all I see is engine). They reduced that to a dull hum.
2. Fairly large head here. They were comfortable enough for a 2 hour continuous trip, though I was starting to feel it on the top of one ear as it seemed to be pinching a bit with my glasses. Adequate comfort, but not great, nowhere near Beyer pads or anything like that.
3. I'd assume so. My ipod classic was driving them well enough.
4. Can't help you on that one. They have a pretty good range and movie soundtracks sound good, but no real idea.
Hope that helps.
Edit: I did forget to mention that I did have one major issue using these as my travel headphone. Apparently I have a neck like a gorilla and since the cups on these don't fold flat I ended up wearing them like some kind of weird neck muff when I was in a hurry and running from terminal to terminal.

Headphones are like hit or miss for people on here and most of the time when someone spends $100 or more on a pair of headphones and doesn't like them they are sure to tell you about it.
Examples of love or hate with no in the middle are K701, Grado SR60i, Grado SR80i, HD600/650. I was seriously considering buying a pair of the HD-25-ii and still am but its post like this one that make me think twice.
While we are on topic of the HD-25-1 ii my questions is
1: Will they be good for use on airplanes? Even the smaller noisy ones?
2: Will they fit someone with a huge head? Will they be comfortable for at least 3 hours on someone with huge head? And by huge head I'm talking XL in helmet size.
3: Will they sound good out of a Samsung Galaxy, Blackberry Playbook, or Asus Transformer Prime? Or Asus 1215b?
4: How are they for movies?
