Most overrated headphones?

The Beyerdynamic dt880. Such a flimsy build and the insipid sound makes me wonder if the pair I tried were faulty.

All Lambda Stax except for the L500. Over time the headband will snap and the foam grill will rot. I won't mention lack of bass, sibilance and endless discussions about driver matching.

The MK2 was a huge improvement. The soundstage is unbeleavable.

ultrasones are just horrible, look at those measurements of their 6000$ headphone

Most overrated headphone I've tried? HD6xx easily. People talk about them like they are the second coming. I found them bland, lacking thump in the bass and bite in the treble when needed. They were also uncomfortable. Preferred my X2 over them with most music, with superior bass and wider sound stage, and I find the X2 to be extremely comfortable to wear despite being heavier. TH-X00 is an even bigger step up from the HD6xx/650.

I absolutely disdain with a mighty passion the beyerdynamic dt770. I remember heavily considering it as my first purchase when getting into headphones, glad I didn't blind purchase.

I'm going to give the "Reality" answer ; Any headphone that doesn't work for you !
(This is one of those personal value questions..... Hmmm... It's you that will be listening to the music you enjoy listening to through them) (& there are 80 pages of this thread so far ?)
