T50p fo sure. The DT1350s are so so much better.
D1100 - First headphone that made me shout obscenities with disgust. I rarely swear too.

Any reasons? I don't want to cause a derail but I'm really curious because I have a pair of these and I love them. I'd be interested to hear from someone who hates them.
The worst I've heard is probably the XB500's. I only listened to them for a couple of hours because I actually ended up feeling really nauseous after a while, kind of like I had motion sickness. I had a pounding headache from them as well.
Apple Earbuds, hands down. They sound like crap and are uncomfortable as hell.
+1 on the Apple Earbuds. Could never get them to stay in properly either
Absolute worse, Airline buds (Delta). I had to try them, and I lasted maybe a good 25 seconds. I've kept them just because they are fantastically horrible. My trac phone speaker has them beat ten times over, and not the speaker for talking, the one for the alarm.
Worst non free award goes to the Turtle Beach Ear Force AXT! Eight drivers deliver a truly unmatched surround sound effect, it's amazing how real they sound. The only problem is your only allowed to listen to "the sounds of antarctica" Never have I heard a noisier amp in my life, it's just a loud continuous hiss.
Waddya guys think of these sets?
1) Sony MDR-7506.
2) Bose AE2.
3) Sennheiser HD 202-II.
4) Sennheiser HD 203.
5) Bose TriPort/AE1.
6) Sony MDR-XD100.
7) Sony MDR-XB500.
All 7 of which are possible headphone upgrade candidates. The V150's are doing the job pretty well for what they are, but want to upgrade when I get the chance.
And as for the airline earbuds, the stock Apple earbuds are worse than them.
Sony MDR V150's are the worst I've listened to for any considerable length of time. There really isn't much good to say about them.
Panasonic HTF600's are the second worse, even after burning them in. I can't take listening to music on them. Even in their limited role for playing games on my second computer, I think it is time to get rid of these stinkers.
