I just got a set of HD25s from Germany myself ! did ya get them from Thomann ? I much prefer them I had a set of the Sony's but they bloody cracked so one of the earphones was loose and I know at least two other people who this has happened to. Also the sound from one of the earphones went after a a few months of having them.

One drawback with the HD25s is the cable is very short, didn't realise it until they arrived !

I've had a fair few sets over the years, sony, aiwa(2), numark (2) and some other crappy ones not worth mentioning. now I use the hd-25sp (cheaper alternatives) and they are the job. I don't like big bulky headphones and the sound quality from sennheiser is just pure class. must invest in a pair of the proper ones someday.
