[Basshead Jazz]

SR60 - The cord is too long and impractical for portable use, always getting tangled due to the swivel design of the earcups.

Other than that, I'm pretty much satisfied with the sound.

 

[Murdoch]

K240S- Occasionally sibilant vocals, although this can be moderated by moving the earcups on your head to find the best position.

SR125- lack of soundstage

 

[d00dz]

Sony EX71 - Left drivers keep crapping out, I'm only my third pair of these headphones waiting for the left driver from theis pair to suddenly stop working...

Philips HP910 - Humm they wanna be Grado's because the left side has a bad case of the Grado Grattle...

 

[flecom]

K1000's - IMPOSSIBLE to wear in bed while watching TV

besides that, hard to drive... kinda uncomfortable for my huge head... needs comfy pads...

Upgrade to what? Everything's flawed, nothing's perfect. All hope is lost.

E2Cs: Foamy maintenance is totally irritating & they don't get a great seal for long, flex sleeves hurt.

 

[luukas]

Oh oh, I forgot completely about... headphone hair! Hate it. With a passion. Results in me longing after custom IEM's.

 

[kiz]

A900's - lack of portability, although the 3d wings are awesome, I can't really rock out in em. i havent seen the full potential of em yet but i'm pretty satisfied by them especially coming from sony streetstyles

 

[sydsfloyd67]

KSC-35- unfamiliar looking to others, tough to hang on your neck
KSC-55 -really bad unecessary bulk added onto KSC-35s
Sharp MD33s- hard to remove/replace, you hear your own breathing, I'm usually afraid they will snag on something
A-Tfc7- closed can vocals, still not great hanging round yer neck
AKG 240S - too big to take everywhere

All of these - tangled wires, and as said, not all that portable really, and none have bass in a car or plane w/o ugly boosting

DT440 - my ears touch the inner foam... (boy... never thought i've got that big EARS) ...it hurts

 

[akerman]

The cable.

Agree, and takes time(for me) to put in. Foam prize hurts too! (in the long run..)
WINDNOISE.

 

[MrYotsuya]

They are probably one of the worst Senn's around. At least they are very comfortable. I could wear them all day.

 

[Deimor]

Senn 580 - Sound kind of dull. good, but dull. Feels cheap. Pushes right against the pressure point behind the ear.

grado sr60 - Hurts the exterior parts of the ear after a long while. Sounds just a touch murky.

 

[Enverxis]

Sennheiser EH1430 - cable is ****ed, need to bend it near the 1/8 plug to get sound (very crappy sound) | headband very uncomfortable

Optimus Pro XB-100 - cable is ****ed, exact same problem as above, plus the headband snapped in half.

Philips HP195 - sound like crap, but when combined with the JVC A-K100 amplifier they sound great for $20 headphones (temporary replacement), loose bass, imbalance! (love that war3 pun

), can hear source/cable noise in some quiet songs, slip off head when leaning back

Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Headset - They suck for music, bass is non existant, the phones just vibrate, too heavy! (otherwise very comfortable)

Alessandro MS-2 - Not here yet.
