They sounded pretty good but I found them way too uncomfortable. The weight didn't bother me too much, but the headband did, gave me headaches.
Fortunately they were really easy to sell and I got all my money back.
It's going to sound odd, but I much prefered my HE-400s that I unfortunately sold to upgrade to the Audeze. 

THIS. I went though this A few months back.

Ultrasone 780. Great sound but didnt last 6 months...... even bought a $70 case thinking long term protection when stored...... great way to invest 300 bucks right

ATH CKM500's. I love them for what they are, but the high mids are seriously harsh for my ears. Although I kinda want another magnetic pouch from Audio Technica so I can use it as a money pouch xD

Fostex T50RP's. Probably one of the most underused headphone over $150 on my rack. Either I suck at modifying headphones, or I just don't like the sound of them. It's most likely that I suck at modifying headphones

Don't know if I regret buying it the most but the XBA-NC85D sure comes close...
Thankfully i paid only $80 for it...
Had I paid the full retail $500 I'd be very sorry...
As a $80 iem with nc its not bad...

KEF M500
They were overpriced and had a very disappointing sound signature.

OK I didn't exactly BUY them but sorta kinda traded for them, but Sennheiser HD428. Hollow tinny sound. I've owned several pairs of $20 to $40 IEMs that sounded much more natural and much better (Senn ie4, cx475, cx275, Pioneer  721Ks) and my HD280 Pros as well. Honestly they just sound like cheap $20 low end no name headphones.

Really? How is neutral sound sig disappointing? I mean it's really hard for a closed back to sound that neutral, and the sound sig was totally intended to be neutral.

 Well I spent weeks modding them too and gave up. Just don't like the sound and regret having gotten swept away with all the hyperbole surrounding them.

not surprised... the t50 driver is good but overall even after the dif mods of it I have had they lack punch.

Sony XB-500 - rubbish
Denon AH-D340 - worth half of what they cost
