I'm interested in hearing your most disappointing headphone purchase...
I tried a Kennerton Gjallarhorn JM Edition not too long ago and thought they were downright bad. Like a few songs in and I was already thinking what is this? Not at all what I anticipated based on what I'd read.
Generally I've found it is easier to be disappointed by an expensive headphone than a cheap one because if it is cheap enough, you can chalk it up to that. When it's >$500, there's no excuses.
This experience personally completely drew me away from Kennerton headphones and I doubt I'll ever buy or be interested to try another.
Bloated bass and not resolving to my ears. Only thing for me was the soundstage was rather good on those for a closed back but that didn't hide the actual sound itself.
