The xb-700 isn't very neutral, it's signature makes a V shape. [so in comparison my EQ makes a W like shape]. They have amazing ear cushioning, dunno if it's memory foam...the problem though is that they are huge. So they either give a "I have good sound and u don't" look or "im nurd that listen to loud muzic" look.
I have yet to see how far they can go though. I might buy an amp. I would recommend the 700 purely for listening to loud bass because it's fun and they vibrate and rumble errwhere. But they aren't $80 any more and don't exist any more. You'd need an EQ to get them to thump as much too.

I'm not sure about the Vmodas, but a nice thing to have when listening to music is a LARGE sound stage and instrument separation. Something that beats don't have [instrument separation mostly]. It gives a sense of depth or 3D space which something like earbuds can never do. Sound stage means if you closed your eyes the sound come from outside the area of the drivers and in different direction.
