i have both X2 And HD700 , and believe me these 2 are not comparable , hd700 is a much different headphone.

Fixed for you.
Fixed for you.
in my opinion is better ! not different
i'm only recommended X2 for those kind of people like too much bass , that's all
I'm interested in the X2 comparison. I know they're completely different headphones but I'm looking for a pair of phones under 600 to round out my collection. I have vmoda m100's, X2's and run both off my OPPO ha-2. So far the 700's are at the top of my list. Soundstage is what I'm looking for since I have bassy cans already
HD700 has a very good soundstage (never heard the X2 myself) indeed!
You could also consider the Grado GS1000 which had the widest soundstage I've ever experienced in a headphone. Sold that one mainly because it was too bass shy for my taste.
For portable listening I would absolutely advise the HD700 (with a shorter aftermarket cable) though.

Have you tried the hd800 and still think the gs1000 has the widest soundstage?
I thought the gs1000 was the ps1000 with more bass
I've only auditioned the HD800 twice (with the 650 and 700) for a short period.
Didn't have the GS1000 around at that time, so couldn't A-B test them.
I had the GS1000 for some months
Based on memory I would say that it had an even (slightly) wider soundstage.
But the HD800 has the edge on resolution (amazing details).
Probably just the other way around
PS1000 is also more expensive.
The widest soundstage that I've heard in headphones that I can remember is a pair of HD 800's powered by the work-in-progress Cavalli Liquid Tungsten. That really was a magic pairing...
