I don't regret the sound or the experience because they're gorgeous but I ended up not liking the Meze 99s because the cable was so goddamn noisy.
They sounded fine for the price, and again, they were beautiful to look at, but at the end of the day I didn't enjoy having them on my head, so I ended up selling them.
Other cans I've been disappointed with (Beyerdynamic DT 770s, e.g.) I've returned within the return window, but I so wanted to love the Mezes that I held on to them until I ran out of space.
As a whole (i.e. not talking specific models I've been disappointed by), I now have a couple pairs in the $500 range and I think that's about as expensive as I'll ever need to go. My whole collection is sub-$2000 and I will continue to pretty much buy what I want when I want, as I've budgeted for my hobbies so I don't have to feel weird about spending money on them.
