Said the person who posted a huge list of bashing well accepted headphones.
If you call everything schitt or crap or use faking every other 5 words, nobody is going to take you serious. You´re entitled to your opinion, but please, try to be a little civilized about it...
I apologise if I have offended you or any other but really some of them are really bad. It's funny when people talk-down brands like Skullcandy and Beat's people don't mind, but when people start nitpicking on bigger brands and they get pissed? Oh the irony. Almost a prime example of the kettle calling the pot black.

I am not denying you the right to your opinion; however, this being a public forum, I have the right to respond to your opinions just as much as you have the right to post them.
However, you do not have the right to make baseless accusations that I am a troll, discredit my opinion not only on a false assumption on my experience, but on the grounds that "I am not you" (as if only you have the right to hold an opinion), or attempt to threaten me with moderators simply because I disagreed with you.
I apologize if my original post was rude, but for someone who purportedly has as much experience as you do, and judging by your post count, has been on this board as long as you have, I think you are setting an incredibly poor example to others on how to respond to criticism.
I can make baseless accusations when you come in and post in a ludicrous assertion as such what you did in reply to my posts trying to piss another user off. I don't care if you like it or not, it does not give you right to down turn someone's opinion simply because you don't agree with it and yes your original post was rude.
Join date and post count have nothing to do with about how much experience a person has with audio gear, prime example look at the friendly folks who registered last year in the anime thread and are already sitting in 10000's amount of post as their discussion is always about anime. Another example, how would you explain Contributors who are no longer active on this forum some with less than < 500 posts but have listened to more gear than both you and I? I don't need to post and contribute my opinion for some of the gear which other people have provided the same impression as I do with the product.
To give you a brief background about myself, I started lurking here around late 2004, I watched Head-fi grow and change over from the new system, I saw contributors leave, I saw them pass-away, I ventured into this hobby with my dads speakers setup, got into IEM's when the first Shure SRH500 came out with the little PTH control module, my first thread here was asking advice for a good non-expensive downgrade like replacement for my UE18's, a nice set of CIEM's I purchased and had to sell off in 2010, a year before I joined and people didn't know if I was serious (qusp
) or not about what happened to my UE18's. I live 10 minutes away either by catching public transport or driving to the CBD where there are at least 3 headphone/amplifier stores which have more gear listed than the one's I listed and I can listen to them with my own or the stores source.
Why did I register in 2011? Because I finally had ADSL (DSL) available at my property, I lived on a constantly d/c dial-up connection for 3 years before that would d/c as soon as a phone call came in. Proxies were in set for the Mac's we had at school and most stuff was blocked or filtered.
Now am I going to bump 6-7 year old threads just for sake of having my opinion recognised and bumping my post count up? Think again.
Over these year's here at head-fi, there has been a bigger veil users would have to get through.

@ DefQon - in the spirit of the thread title, could you narrow down your list to one or two (ok, three if you must) of the worst headphones you've ever heard. A huge list of headphones you didn't like doesn't really belong in this thread.
You're right, most of my previous subjective listening evaluation for the headphones was not all of them was that bad, just some (namely the Ultrasones) have an extremely bad performance to price ratio I thought worth mentioning.
The absolute 3 worst headphones I'd have ever heard amped or not amped would have to be:
ATH-AD700's. KQ70X's and the M50's. Coincidentally the 3 most hyped headphones.
