For me its my Etymotic ER.4's - in a fit of stupidity I sold them on eBay, together with some other headphones and earphones, the proceeds from which went to buy a new 64gb iPod Touch plus a new PC screen and since then I've played around with all sorts of word of mouth recomended earphones here at Head-fi and non of them have even be able to hold a light to how much my old ER.4's made music shine... oh and no other things I've worn can even approach the don't even realise I am wearing them comfort the ER.4's manage.
 
Don't get me wrong - the iPod Touch is a treat to own and use and justify's itself just with the number of astronomy apps I have loaded up and the new screen is awesome, but it was the most stupid thing that I have ever done in all my earphone life and a sharp lesson that you shouldn't read to much into so many threads here - especially if you are already happy with what you have.
 
So - which Earphones or Headphones are you sorry you sold and wish you could own again?

CK10 - Although it was more unfortunate than selling them.

Not sold but traded... Ortofon EQ-5.

My old Nuforce NE-7M. They were my first IEMs and they were great for their price (better than anything I had before that).

Me ol' ATH-CK7 =S
 
Also, the Goldring DR150

At this point, I'd say the W3. Not perfect but they were a lot of fun. Or maybe the UM3X. I do remember more songs excelling on the W3 than w/ any other earphone. I really hope I don't regret getting rid of the ER4P. I've really enjoyed them a ton with some classical string pieces.

OMG its contagious - going by my own experience imackler, including the sense of loss and just not liking whatever I hear from other earphones... well I am saving my pennys and eyeing other stuff I own thinking 'you know if I sold that then I could bid on ebay for any decent set with the original red and blue plugs that happens along'... sigh - oh well

I own over 40 headphones precisely because I'm afraid I'll regret it after I've sold it.  I'm going to be putting few more on the market soon.  I have not regrets about the dozen or so I have sold.

I usually only sell stuff that I have that I'm sure that I'm willing to let go, listening to them extensively and comparing to other items that you have helps a lot.

I've never sold anything for this very reason!

Probably the e-Q7, but not so much. Actually, since going into the 1964-Q I don't miss any of my top tier universals that I've gotten rid of too much. I miss the timbre of the FX700, but the mids were a tad bit too recessed for my liking (it's only fault to me). I don't miss the SM3 (but I'm glad I kept my SM2). So yes, probably the e-Q7.

I wish I could own the RE0 and e-Q7 again. They do certain types of music better than any other IEM I tried.

Which kinds? I'm curious!
