Headphones you regretted buying the most - Page 88

I hated the Koss D1000 so much despite all its praises. 

When I first got it, I was like hmm... maybe this need burn-in.

Then after 80 hours it still sounds like its coming out a a tin can. 

Mr. Speakers Mad Dogs 3.1

About 2 weeks after I bought them off another head-fier, he announced that 2 new and significant improvements had been made (3.2 and 3.3), thus taking a bit out of their resale value and also giving me a nice case of "just missed the upgrade-itus boat."

Come on, you payed $ 260,-, including shipping, tracking and registration. Never saw them cheaper, and I wish I'd reacted sooner to get them for this price.

There's no version 3.3. So if you had waited for the one update you missed, you had to pay $ 300,-, plus the costs of shipping to Vietnam and a full price written on the customs declaration form.

If I buy them new, the total costs will be $ 450,- (shipping, customs duties, import taxes).

There was a set on the for sale thread for $200 recently - you may want to see if they're still there. My complaint will be a moot point once another upgrade comes out, so you're right to roll your eyes at me. I want these things to be the best they can be, so it was a bit deflating to read about the new tweaks which Dan claims are significant improvements so soon after I got them.

That set was with Dog pads, not Alpha pads. And CoNus, so you never had a chance.

You can send your Mad Dog to MrSpeakers. He will perform the update for only $ 30,-

With that update, you still are better off than paying the full price I suppose.

I didn't roll eyes, it was more meant as "count your blessings", because I really think you got lucky.

And of course I was angry at myself that I was too late to grab them.

And for value, maybe I'll prefer the older versions over the 3.2. It's more a matter of taste than 'better'.
