Do you need closed or would open work as well? If you need closed I would get the Ultrasone PRO 750.

Anything really,but having closed opens up the possibility of it going portable. 
 
how would the 750s measure with the HD25? I've only heard of the HD25 and short sessions of the ATH-M50.

I think a Lineout Dock would offer a large noticeable improvement (for about $17)

Planning to diymod my iPod (5.5g Video) and diy-ing a LOD too. :/ all on the list of things to do.

I'm not very familiar with the HD25 but I can tell you that the 750's are some of the best cans you can get for that price. They're overall neutral with an emphasis on the low end. I know that they would be darker than the HD25.

How they can be neutral, if they emphasis the treble and the bass?  The most balanced one on the Ultrasones will be the PL/Pro-650. As well you can try some hps @ 35 ohms, like the GMP 8.35, M-50 .

Overall neutral, with the exception of the bass emphasis. Sorry that wasn't clear.

Sorry man, they cannot be balanced if they are boomy.

I didn't say balanced, I said that there's a bass emphasis and the rest of the frequencies are overall neutral. But I get what you're saying, I'll avoid using the term in the future.
I didn't say they were boomy either. The bass is there but tight and it doesn't leak.

SRH840 fit this description pretty well.  They are fairly neutral overall, but have a slight mid-bass emphasis- which is very tight unlike many other closed headphones with bass.  They're foldable and closed, but so large that I wouldn't call them portable.  You might consider using your iems for portable use and getting open headphones instead, which generally sound better than closed headphones imo.
