What about specifying which source you used ? Portables doesn't count. Experiment a little. *partly* agree with you on that on a tinny IMP-400 on "Jazz" EQ or thereabouts, but the hd25 have a soundstage (albeit narrow) with depth on amped sources (e.g. receivers, and simple headphone amps).
b.t.w. why "trust" Ultrasone ? (Not that one shouldn't, but it just sounds funny)

EDIT: Suggestion: DT250-250 with a small cmoy amp or the like. Why ? The HD25s have an IMO too high sensitivity to be ideal with portables. There's white noise, right from when you power up your portable, but tolerable when music is playing. The DT250-250 have a lower sensitivity and is powered well by some portables, and a small amp works wonders if it's not loud enough. It sounds better (according to other people) than the DT250-80 version.

Try to find a place where you can audition those two. I'd go with the ultrasones on blind faith... |
