Well, the price is what's wrong with any bad headphone. If the QC2s were five dollars, who would not buy some just in case they needed some really cheap headphones?

Well, I might not buy them because I don't need really cheap headphones, but if they were five dollars, I doubt that they would be criticized as much as they are now.

I still wouldn't buy them for $5. I'd consider it, but that's it. Mainly has to do with the build and looks. Besides, For a couple bucks more you can get a Ksc-75/mx500/etc. and they don't attract much attention.
