Hmm yes you certainly have to accept you are paying for the amazing built quality, warranty and the ability to replace parts with the HD 25's. But to me that's what I wanted so paying for it was more then welcome. You probably could find just ad good sounding phones for cheaper but you would sacrifice what makes the HD 25's such a good complete package. Furthermore I wouldn't have a clue what those 'phones might be.
I personally find them pretty comfortable. I use pleather pads but I've read that the valour ones are more comfortable. I can easily wear them for 3+ hours without my ears hurting and the headband is to adjustable so that's never been a problem for me.
Cons, hmm let me think. Oh sonically they don't have a very large soundsatge, really no soundstage. They were designed to be Pro DJ headphones so they aren't really suited to classical music, or any other genre dependent on a large soundstage. The only other things that pops into my mind the the plug is quite large to cater for the screw on 1/4 inch adapter. I shouldn't really complain about this because it's really strong and being able to screw on the adapter is quite a positive but there you go. Other than that I can't think of any.
My current portable set up is a 8gb Sansa Clip+ with a 16gb microSD card running all FLACs with my HD 25's and Meelectronic M6's as my 'phones. I also have a iPod Video 5.5g 80gb coming in the post.
Before I bought the Clip+ I was using a Cowon D2+ which I sold to buy the Clip. It was a good move for me .
