Headphones you regretted buying the most - Page 85

 When I received the package it said FRAGLE RE0. Even if the word was misspelled, I should have taken the warning much more seriously.

Ultrasone 580 because the pads were too uncomfortable for me. They have the hardest pleather pads I have ever tried.

AD700s. http://www.head-fi.org/t/655854/im-not-very-impressed-by-my-new-ad700s :(

Tried it at the shop, very wide, but the soundstage is not accurate and seems forced open, and the headphone has almost no bass what so ever.

My first pair of good headphones that got me into this hobby. If it hadn't been for those, I would have much more money now.

I slightly regret buying hd650 because they are not to versatile ending with me buying supplements since I listen to many different kinds of music. I should definitely gone with something more allround.

For me it was my HD600, i regretted buying them the day that i compared them to Grado's RS1s, i sold them soon after and never looked back.

The Grados sr80i. So SO uncomfortable (especially with my glasses) and the sound practically punched a hole in my head like it was a balloon.

HA!

Probably my 598's. They're great but I got the 650's a year later and those have been all I listen to ever since. Granted it was a good year with them but I still feel that I didn't get enough use out of them.

Bose headphones are just awful..

I regret buying the AKG K167. Only headphone I've ever had that broke.

This is a funny thread.....seems like almost everyone bought the wrong type of headphone for their style of listening.  Research before you buy to get the sound signature you want first.  I was told always have a few different sets if you listen to a wide variety of music.....LOL!!!

lol well only those who had wrong selections post here, which is not a big slice of the population here, some also posted due to having comfort issues and build (like Tus-Chan above) as well.
And that being said, its nice to have a set of polar opposites 

Definitely a pair of Monster Dre Beat earbuds. Nothing to do with sound, for a week I had to shove them into my ears every five minutes and I eventually returned them. Part of what made them so bad was that I had bought them from my good friend's store and he was excited to see me buy them. I felt so bad bringing them back, but there was no way I was throwing away 100+ dollars on a set of earbuds I couldn't keep in my ears.
