If that's the worst headphone you've ever heard, your audio life has been pretty privileged. I wouldn't call a studio standard the "worst" of anything.
Read through the entire thread and you can laugh at a few other 'worst' headphones like the AKG K550
Worst headphones I have ever heard? Some stupid dinky ones from the dollar general. I needed them to house some new drivers for a weekend project.
Worst ever headphones I have listened to that could be considered real headphones? I do not know, but I can say that I know of one that is terribly over priced and poplar that sounds pretty bad.
Sennheiser HD800s. Don't get me wrong, they have great clarity, and have great sound stage.......but everything else is pretty bad. It seems like they sacrificed bass, mids, and any hopes of having a natural sound all for the sake of transparency.
I have tried different amps, dacs, cables, everything. I simply can not find a way for these things to have the same full sound that even the HD600 has.
The worst thing is the price. For 600 bucks they would be ok, but for 1300+........no.
The worst that I've ever heard was a pair of ear-buds that a friend of mine bought from a dollar store when she was broke. You couldn't even understand the singer because the mid-range was so recessed, but there was also no bass or highs to balance the spectrum :eek: .
I love the action inside this thread; worst headphones ever? Com'on. There is no way any headphones sold in a hi-fi shop or even big-box store are the worst headphones you've ever heard. Buy an iPod and listen to the supplied headphones, go on an air-plane and ask for headphones... Clearly those are the worst headphones out there!
The iPod stock earphones are actually ok for their price. Not great by any means, but 1000x better than airline headphones.
