i would have voted vibes 200 times. and how can they charge so much for a piece of trash wrapped in pretty colors? it seems like Val barely even posts on here anymore after all the hype he created.

If K1000 were on here, I'd vote for that. But seeing as we have limited choices, I voted SR60: don't know why they get hyped as being something that should cost more (they don't sound like they're more expensive headphones).

No one suggests Bose Triports on this site though....so I don't see how they can be overrated!!!!

i would also give my vote to the vibes if it were an option


o·ver·rate (ō'vər-rāt') Pronunciation Key
tr.v. o·ver·rat·ed, o·ver·rat·ing, o·ver·rates

To overestimate the merits of; rate too highly.


the exact deffeniton of the vibes. besides triports and ibuds are not rated highly at all (inside the head-fi community)

Another vote for K81DJ... Based on all the hype they had here on head-fi I bought a pair and found them to be muddybass-bloatnessfest.

Man I'm having some Deja-Vu here...


Anyway, it wouldn't be fair for me to vote, since I haven't heard all of the phones in the poll. But I can say that of the dynamic phones I have owned, the Sennheiser line of phones are far and away the most overrated phones in existence IMHO. I suppose that when it comes to the Sennheiser house sound, I just don't 'get it'. It bores me to death, and makes me want to fall asleep.

The hd580 and 600 can be a bit boring, but definitely not the 595!

i think the votes are split because you included mainstream stuff like ibuds/bose/sony cheapies

if you just stuck with "head-fi" headphones, it would probably be "better"

:p
