Did you regret it afterwards?

Many of them. The DT48 was a happy surprise; I was the only active member with a pair when they arrived.

The K-701 was howlingly disappointing, though. The Stax Aperio Alpha 1 was wretched, too.

I spent a bit of time considering the Sennheiser HD-800. Too expensive on one hand, but its sound won me over. I sold six or seven pairs and used that money to buy it. No regrets.

Way too many over the years since joining here.  Now I'm down to three 'keepers:'  HD650, Q701, and Grado RS1i.  I actually enjoy all three and have given up looking over the fence for greener grass.

Might I ask why you found the 701s so disappointing?

The Beats Solo is a bit of a bummer.

For about $15 or so over here for the Koss KSC75 it's hard to be disappointed by them. Great value headphones that I'm using them right now even though I have plenty of better headphones :D

Pioneer HDJ-1000, used them for about a week, returned them, bought my SR80is and never looked back!

Aiaiai TMA-1

 

Bought on site based on looks alone. Sounded decent in the store but when I got them home found they were too bass bloated on everything, so I quickly sold them off.

I bought the Magnum v2.5 on impulse after browsing the FS forums (which I really should stop doing since I usually don't plan on buying stuff) but no regrets so far. It sounds great and haven't been able to stop listening to them.

Look at the A-T headphones in my profile. All of them, not that I didn't enjoy or wish I could have kept them all.

Just bought the Ety HF2

Apparently they don't fit my Sony, so i use them through the amp.

What is even more strange is it has the same plug as the Sony headset, but the ground and mic wires are swapped

Gonna DIY an adapter and see what happens (didnt find any on ebay O_o)

 

Edit:

it was on a whim because i saw them for 120 usd in a local shop. buying these from abroad will add ~40$ for shipment and 20$ taxes.

I couldn't resist. always wondered how BA sound like
