I own both the D7000 and the HD800 and I have to say I prefer the D7000 for all around cans. There's something about the low end presence that's so fun and so addicting. I can see how people would find the bass too powerful but I find it perfect for my needs. Keep in mind I listen to bass heavy genres such as; hip hop, dnb, trance, downtempo, and rnb.
My old set up was: Nuforce HDP ($450) > modded WA6 with sophia princess ($900) > HD800 ($1400). That was a grand total of: $2750.
My current setup is: Nuforce HDP ($450) > D7000 with LA cups, jena labs cable ($850). The total of this set up is: $1300.
Now for the cost of double the price I didn't quite find it as double the enjoyment (which rarely ever happens in the first place). Actually I didn't even find it as enjoyable as my D7000's at all. Then again just look at my musical preferences, the D7000's just suit my ears much better than the HD800. The HD800 is a great phone and I would definitely keep it around but I believe I can find a much better use with my $1300 =)
