Marley Revolution:
They seemed to have decent reviews across the board, and even here they had some positive feedback. I picked them up on sale, and realize now they still cost way to much....I got my UE 6000 for less :/ Out of the box they sounded good. Nice punchy bass, decent mids and highs. Over time, they have become unbearable...mud mud and more mud, plus horribly recessed everything else. Not sure what happened.
Also, while they are all aluminum, minus the headband, and are sturdy, the 'nuts' used to hold the earcups on are made of horribly cheap and flawed plastic. All four snapped in half (air bubbles in the mold, so they were basically hollow...go figure). Easy fix, but a stupid problem to have. They look and feel great, but mud smeared in your earlobe sounds better. Finally, I have a thin noggin, and they squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze the XXXX out of my head. I've had them for almost two years, and they are just barely acceptable....for 20 mins or so.
I severely regret buying them, but I do have a soft spot for them....or maybe thats just the section of my skull they damaged...I don't know.
While not headphones, the Klipsch Image s3 IEMs:
"Klipsch makes good stuff, and these are 50% off. Oh snap!" They look cheap, feel cheap, and you spend more time listening to the cable bounce around than the tinny sounds coming out of them. Absolute crap. Luckily I opened the box in a very stealthy way, and was able to repackage and return them (Future Shop no longer allows the return of opened headphones/IEMs). Worst 35 CAD I've ever spent...
