"Beyerdynamic DT250 anyone? Haven't heard them, but..." But what? You want to say something that you've never heard should be on the "most overrated" list?
Whew!!! (Or was he looking for a 'most underrated' in the midst of a 'most overrated' thread, per chance?)
MDR-EX71
In other words, I don't think for myself. I just go by what everyone else says. That's why I care about what is over "rated" so much!
Ok, so I may have missed a couple, plus I gave up after 10 pages... so shoot me!

Oh sure, many times. For a list of the most underrated headphones, as assembled by Head-Fi's collective minds, ears and finger tips (got to give credit to the finger tips for they allow us to post in threads like this) you could do an archive search and find all sorts of threads about the most underrated headphoens. Or you could use the shortcut method and just read the list above. The same headphones (all headphones, eventually) make either list!
