CD3000's because I can't get a pair.

All in all there are a bunch I hate including e2c, e3c, MS1, 325, ps1, hd497, hd570.

I dislike the ER-4s for the comfort issues. I can't never get comfortable of wearing anything that deep and the way they exerted pressure in my ears.

I normally don't work myself through 4 complete pages, but this time, it was really fun.

My hate is the AKG 501.

I found out that its developer in Austria suffered from overwhelmig thrill when his wife left him, so the starting point was the poor man's intention to create something totally calming, boring and unspectacular. Guess he succeeded.

I hate Sennheiser as a company, because they stubbornly ignore that there are new music styles that came up after 1990 (typical german attitude in general). And I would LOVE to have a can with Senn look & comfort combined with the DT770 sound.

Bose tri-ports. Waste of money, even free they suck.

Is anyone going to bash the SR-200? I'm planning to buy the woody at headphile (course, I'm just _planning_ to buy it... which means I won't have the cash to buy it for a very long time

)

Yet another person with broken TriPorts...it is simply ridiculous that Bose won't address this issue. I mean, do any of them NOT break?

Anyway, I hate the Sony V900. I purchased a pair from eCost because they got like a 4.5/5 rating on AudioReview--they were one of the highest rated cans on there. I wanted big bass for gaming, and they delivered that. However the side effect was that they were WAY too boomy with music. (I realize now that the DT 770 would have been perfect for my purposes!) The bass was so overpowering with the V900s and I found that I wanted a more balanced headphone. I returned them, bought some SR80s, fell in love and that was the start of my hobby.

It was also one of the primary reasons I started visiting Head-Fi!

The V900, in my experience, isn't especially "bassy" per se (the bass doesn't extend particularly deep), but is in fact very thick sounding. The lower mids, in fact, dominate the sound from that 'phone.

Sorry man you won't hear any bashing of that can from me hehe

I owned SR200s for quite a while and loved them all the way up to the point that I got the HP2. The only complaints would be that it doesn't have as much soundstage (all narrow-housing Grados have that issue) and bass (well compared to my other cans, DT770 lol) and treble extension (pick a sony, any sony, and i prefer the SR200 treble over the John "Grato" treble) as other cans, but that's stock. The woody recable probably addresses all of those categories, in which case I reserve bash judgment until you hear the modded versions.

I won't "bash" the Grado rs 1; alot of things it does well, but it is just a bit too colored, bright and unconfortable for me! I like the drive of the Grado's though.

But, with a good interlink and amp, the hd650 can come alive too!

 

[ILUVIPODS]

Ugggg, the Koss Pluggs...I hate them. They are not comfortable at all, they sound AWFULL in the mids and highs, and the sound is drowned with muddy bass. And look at this, the people on amazon actually like them! I say that we write bad reviews on amazon like we did for the triports.
