The mods are asleep! Tell us about the worst headphones you've ever owned. I'll go first. Mine are the Westone ADV Alpha. I'm traumatized just thinking about them. To my ears, they have an extremely head rattling, gut-punching bass, and zero treble (I'm not exaggerating, it's as if the frequency response ends – or there’s a massive roll-off – at 3kHz). I can't breathe when I'm listening to them, there's simply no air, it's like the universe without any light emitting object, all dark and all cold, music is striped off anything resembling a soul. The only positives are: they come with a rugged case, and fantastic set of accessories. I'll stop here. What's your worst?
PS: The beauty of this hobby is that the headphones, my nightmares, are somebody's wet dreams.
