Razer Tiamat. I thought they'd be good for gaming and music. They weren't good for neither.

AKG K514 MKII, horrendously harsh and bright and had basically no bass. It was sibilant on basically anything, by far the brightest and harshest headphone I have ever heard. If any headphone fits the shrieking banshee moniker, it's these things. If they had tame highs and decent bass they would of actually been good headphones. Another headphone I regret for a different reason is the Sennheiser PX-100 ii, it has way too much midbass, so much it can hurt my ears on bass-heavy music. The midrange also rubs me the wrong way, something about it bothers me, the treble is too recessed as well. It literally sounds like a better and open version of the Beats Solo HD, had the chance to compare them side to side, the two headphones sound a lot alike.
While they are not the brightest or harshest (try Grado or Superlux!) they are indeed more sibilant and worse sounding overall than the K512 mk2. In fact, they are similar to the K540 which is also no match for the 512. What was AKG thinking.
Which headphones do you regret buying AFTER you first listen to them? Reading this post seems a lot off people are like me. Buying without testing them first.
So not surprising a lot of them disappoint one way or another
after spending some time with them I haven't had long-lasting regret on anything I've bought.
