I dont have the ES7s anymore. Sold em a while ago. From memory - the ES7s were more forgiving of the source and some may prefer the softer treble on the ES7. For me the deal breaker was primarily the lack of comfort and isolation. The 780 are v.revealing and detailed, has a MUCH better bass definition, better soundstage, is more comfortable & isolates well.
To me the 780 are better in every way. Its in a different league than the ES7.

Grado ($295 MSRP) SR325i's provide best bass impact per dollar I've heard so far - razor sharp. Get them Todd the Vinyl Junkie (TTVJ) - good pricing / good service!
The modded Yamaha HP-1's I foolishly sold had excellent bass impact, imo, if not necessarily bass extension. I suspect some of the other more sought after orthodnamic's would exhibit even more.
Grado's are also excellent at bass impact, sound more like planar to me in this regard.
Out of what i've heard, the GS1000 had the most bass (quantity and quality wise). Of course it needs to be properly amped first. It sounded horrible out of an ipod.
