Skull Candy FMJ (only paid $10 brand new) but I like the cheap Monoprice earbuds better. 
 
V-Moda crossfades, way too bass heavy for me. Might work for some people but I like hearing the highs and not just all bass. 

I got the FMJ's for $50 before I was an audiophile. Right out of the box I knew they didn't sound as good as the cheaper IEM's I was already using. Luckily, Skullcandy's build quality showed its true colors and they fell apart on the first day under normal use, allowing me to return them for a refund.

Sound flat, very low value for the price. Plus the pads are sticky.

I bought these and wasnt satisfied so i started researching on better headphones, and after buying some decent headphones i wish i had never bought them

AD700's for me, they were my first "audiophile" headphones and while they were a step up from stock they really didn't justify the price and put me off delving deeper into headphones for quite a number of years.

I guess I'm missing the logic on this. You regret purchasing them because an upgrade came out later?

Yes, a bit. I'd rather have the latest and greatest version. I didn't think it was cool to have 2 new releases after the 3.0 within such a short span, but such is the nature of DIY I guess. Dan is pretty clear about the changes being improvements rather than just a different flavor, so I was a bit peeved. Like I said, it won't matter once he releases 3.3 - at that point, everybody with 3.2 will be wondering what they're missing out on and perhaps understand my reaction at least a little bit.

Beats Tour by Dr. Dre for me.  paid $150.  Driver on left side died after 2 months of use.  Although the pair really helped me start this fascination with headphones by telling myself "There must be better than this".

Ha ha ha. At least you found the start of the path

I believe he said he won't be releasing a newer version anytime soon. But I think he trying to get better cables for them.

I can't really say I regret buying a certain headphone. Each where a stepping stone to get me to where I am today. But I guess thinking about it, I would say Bose ae-1 Tri-Ports. They sound good, but for the $150 price tag, I could have done better. Live & learn.
 
It is interesting on the same names keep poping up in this thread.

The HD800s. I could have kept my audio spending sane by that point.

 

[PAM005]

Attracted by the retro-style, I bought a brandnew Beyerdynamic DT-48(E). But when received, looks, sound and comfort was terrible.
They stayed in my house for a few hours. I haven't seen or heard them again. They disappeared in the "Twillightzone"!
I won't miss them...

Only ones I regret buying are skullcandy full metal jackets and skullcandy heavy medals, by far the best waste of money I've thrown away. Also might add Sony mdrx300 to the list...

Sony XB 1000 -harsh in the upper range
Runner up: Beats Solos-poor value, muddy.

The LCD 2 rev 2. Happened today after I listened to the HD 800s I bought.
