Taking it a step further, there's nothing wrong with saying that we bought a product because we initially liked it (or bought it without trying it), and have come to dislike it. That information can be helpful to others.
Example: I took a chance in buying the M70X, thought it might be a nice step up from the M50X. I initially liked the clarity, but found the bass to be weak. Now I just don't like it in general because other headphones have better clarity and better bass. I have no use for it now, and regret buying it. I haven't sold it because the money isn't worth my time. I haven't given it away to family or friends because I think the bass is too weak for a general listening headphone. My self-esteem isn't overly impacted by admitting to myself and y'all that I made a purchasing mistake, and actually feels kind of good to get that off my chest.
We've all done the same. Maybe posts here should take a queue from Alcohol Anonymous meetings and preface each post with: "My name is ______________ and I'm an audiophile, it's been _____ days since I made a poor purchasing decision".
