I auditioned the XB700 at a Sony store a while back, and I recall the bass being of the one-note-thump variety, lacking in texture. the mids and highs lacked some detail as well.

From what I've heard, the Ultrasone Pro 900 have metallic sounding mids, and sibliant highs, not my thing, espically for acoustic genres

The VModa M100 sound intrigueing, but many have complained about the comfort level

 

As of now, I'm very interested in the Nuforce HP800 and the MAudio Q40, but worried that they will be a downgrade from the Vmoda M80s that I am selling due to their lack of bass, and being very uncomfortable.

I hear you. I never set out to spend that much... It's something that just seems to happen around here... 

FWIW, I "only" paid $999.00 for mine at BHPhoto.com and yes, they do have a 30 day return policy with full refund. 

I think you'd have to try the Pro 900's out for yourself to see if they fit your requirements. Some people don't like them, but some people really do. It's a pretty controversial headphone in that respect. But I had the XB700 too and didn't like it that much. The Pro 900's have much more detail and texture to the bass.

If you're looking for big bass, these will not satisfy you whatsoever. They're actually somewhat thin when it comes to bass unless you put them up on the highest setting.

If it's possible, try and audition the JVC HP-DX1000s.

Best bass I've heard from any headphones. Ever.

If you really do "Luv Your BASS" then I'd go with the Q40 or the Vmoda M-100. I have the Q40 here myself and it's got GOBS of Bass, but it's kind of "in your head" and the highs are rolled off a bit. The Vmoda is supposed to be a deeper better sounding Q40. The Signature DJ is *probably* the ultimate audiophile basshead 'phone, but you pay for it.

 For what it's worth, I had the AKG K167s and the bass/mid-bass on it was so weak I returned them after about 3 days. I don't know if the K267s are a lot different, but I don't think they are. 

Don't do it. I wish I had bought an ATH-M50 or a HFI-580 instead. If bass is what you want, I would keep away from the Tiesto cans.

You can replace the pads with M50 pads (They are either $5 or $10 each) Or Beyerdynamic DT250 pads. I think it was the "Battle of the Entry-Level Rivals" thread where Crinacle did it succesfully. Also reducing the clamping force is easy, I stretched my 580's out over a square tissue box (long way) overnight and it helped a ton.

It's towards the bottom of the OP.

For what it's worth, before I lost my mind and ordered the Signature DJ, I was all set to buy the M-100s. I think bang for the buck it's pretty hard to beat. I haven't heard them yet myself, but if it really is a more refined Q40 then it's probably pretty darn good. Try asking around in the "Basshead Thread" too. Those guys are really into it there and they might be able to outline the differences between the XB1000s and M100s for you.
