I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I just came across these headphones.

ƒwƒbƒhƒzƒ“ mix-style mix-style headphones

Frequency response 500hz-20khz. Oh and have a look at the frequency graph.




Could this be the worst headphone ever? I mean we don't even know the brand name. It just says "mix-style headphones".

What do you all think? I'd buy them if they're cheap

Mix-Style is the name of the brand.

55,000 won equates to about $41.

I see these often on the streets of Korea. Girls and university aged kids wear them. Maybe they think they look cool? The Tesco supermarket opposite my apartment sells them for about $38.

I won't be buying one for the team.

I still bet they sound better than the Ultrasone 2500's.

I agree .... that could be a definite possibility.

Exactly those ones, yes. My ears have still not forgiven me for subjecting them to the horror and terror that is the Ultrasone ProLine 2500.
I'm not kidding when I say they're the worst headphones I've heard. While some cans have poor frequency response/bad imaging/whatever, few are actually painful to listen to. It's in this latter category that the 2500's fall into.
And yes, they were properly burned in for several hundred hours.

Wow. Good to know.

Although I enjoy my ATH-AD2000 a lot more but IMO the Pro2500 are not bad at all. I still like them and use them when I get bored with the AD2000

But yes Ultrasone has love/hate sound

Of all of the headphones I have ever owned in my life (and also during my Head-Fi carreer - check my profile), the Koss Clipz are by far the worst headphones I have ever had the misfortune of hearing.

In order to get that Wingnut to act excited like that while wearing the Clipz, they HAD to have force fed him some horrible mood-altering drug.

LOL Some funny shiate

The Ultrasone comments had me rollling there.

 

[scompton]

The graph is great compared to some vintage headphones. I have a pair of Pioneer SE-4s. They have zero bass below 200Hz. They're also about the worst designed headphones I've ever seen. The driver is not attached to the bevel, but glued to the back of the cup.

I also bought a pair of Leslie headphones from the 70s that have a cardboard baffle. I never even bothered to listen to them.

I bought both of these to use as foster phones, so I really don't care about the sound.

Is it cool to bash Ultrasone now? I tried to do it years ago but they were FOTM for freaking ever and I never got away with it without a fight.

They came in a... plastic bag..?

Yeah, I too received some flack when I stated my overwhelming dissatisfaction with said cans.
