I wish I never came across that SONY MDR-G61. I was young and dumb, and fell for cool looks. The wretched thing *cuts* your ears, and hurts your eardrums as well. Bad, bad sound.

Nevertheless, once I came across the KSC-35 some years ago I learned that not everything with an earclip sucks by definition

I bought Sony MDR-CD480 for 70$. They are horrible. Used them a few hours. Went back to HD600. A few month later i tried the Sonys again. Couldn't stand more than a hour. I don't remember now how they sounded.

I bought some cheap JVC headphones for 40$. After an hour i put them back into the box. Never listen to them again. A few months later i gave them to a friend. Sounded like a telephone. Was not designed for human ears.

Have your pets been running up the phone bill again?

Sennheiser HD560II -- based on Headroom's description (best for bass lovers)...bleagh! Bass is bloated, boomy, and overwhelming.

!Hola Francisco! ¿Qué onda? Good to see you back. The worst headphones for me would be some vertical buds made by ATH. I was hoping they would be a cheap substitute por my NOVA-16's, but didn't sound as good. And the Koss Plugs, I got a bunch of them and tried al sorts of mods trying to get them to sound rigth and nothing ever worked. Sometimes I would just waste them and then get another pair, and another, and another. I must have spent on them enough moolah to get decent sealed cans. Silly me.

koss KSC-50... were not even comparable to KSC-35's, it's like holding your headphones away from your ears.

Philips HP890-for obvious reasons

Grado SR80-started this whole headphone thing for me...again

Stax SR-44D-I tweaked them until I killed them...I feel guilty now.

Beyer 931-What was I thinking?
