hd650 - the bass was loose, not satisfying. overall the phone sounded slow and unexciting. enter the he-400
what was it about them that you didn't like
Klipsch Reference S4... One of my very first IEMs. Bad fit overall for me, won't allow to be worn over-the-ear because of its stiff cable. Later to learn that they are actually just Image S4 with just a bit lesser bass and better aesthetics. Another would be the Sennheiser CX-400ii, just bad sounding IMO.
The AT W1000X really didn't mesh with my tastes, and probably is the closest thing to a regret I have, but I'd wanted to try them for a while and I'm glad I finally did.
I regret ever buying the AKG K167. The build quality was a joke.
Monoprice earbuds are also very overhyped. They sound decent but their form factor is atrocious and hurt my ears.
