WORST headphone you ever heard?

Siberia V2, they don't sound horrible, but they don't sound good, I was expecting a lot from these, they are used by some of the most skilled gaming teams around, but the sound was like a beats by dre, overpowered bass, no treble and lost mids, but, they are still the best looking headset xD

Have any of you thrown away a  headphone? Not just due to how they sounded?
 
So far I've thrown away the following:
 
K240 Sextett LP (I honestly have always hated this hunk of junk. Never sounded good. Why did I throw it away? Well I had it in pieces and removed it's cable so I didn't feel like messing with it. It also had missing screws.
 
AD300
Loved it, but I got tired of having too many headphones. Couldn't sell it online because it's worthless
 
AD700
Why? I cracked it once and nearly ruined it but I glued it back together. I don't think it's as bad as some say, but I'd never use it as my main music headphone EVER. It had a huge dent in the grill so it's resale value was $0.

Don't know why, but this one always sounded bad to me. I don't have a clue why. Doubt it was a lemon.
 
I almost threw away my Koss A/250 today. Saved it just in time. I think the only way I could make that thing sound good is with a very warm source and amp. There is something special about it, but it's not even remotely musical.
 
Superlux HD-668B
 
It was OK...but generally not fun to listen to and rather V-shaped to my ears. Just slightly.
 
T50RP
Seriously this one MUST have been a lemon. I wasted more hours of my life than I should have on this. This was 100% not moddable and always sounded bad. For awhile I had glimpses of what it could sound like, but no luck. I don't even want to know how much I spent on modding materials.
 
I should have gotten a clue when it caused my ears to ring almost immediately. This failed mod still makes me sad

BTW I opened and closed this thing so many times in a week that I stripped TWO of it's screw holes.
 
 
My poor AKG K240 Studio is missing. I'm going to kick myself if I threw that away. There is no way I would have EVER done that!

I've heard a lot of bad headphones but if I take into account the price the new Denon D7100 were incredibly disappointing.
