I once bought a pair of Sony buds that have kind of a plastic hook to go over your ear. I bought them to run with, thinking the hook would keep them attached.

I have no idea how they sound because they fell out with such frequency that I just ran with them bouncing from my neck. They are still in my desk drawer.

The worst headphones I purchased were sony earbuds that would shock me at random intervals. I keep them in my desk to be used as a strangling cord in case I meet any sony execs.

The worst sounding headphone I have ever bought is/was a Philips SBC HP200 "HiFi" headphones on sale.

Whatever the source is, you need to ramp the volume up high, and depending on the device, sometimes to the max, to get to hear anything! That's not all, the sound is unequal, midtones are washed out, low tones are low in volume, and high tones seem to make it through just fine.

When watching movies, the lower frequencies sometimes cause an alias frequency to form and an additional vibration becomes evident in the headphones which lessens the enjoyment of the movie in question. It has got two cables (left and right, really old skool) from both speakers, so that I can get entangeled well enough and the cable is unneccesarily long (think jumprope long).

The good thing with this headphone is that they are comfy to wear. That's just about it with the pros of that pair of headphones.

Gotta be the ones that came with the T-Mobile SDA (HTC Tornado). They don't stay in the ear and sound terrible. Their only upside was that they actually worked with the 2.5mm jack in the phone.

The worst headphones that I bought were those cheap headphones you buy on a long flight these days just so you can watch a lame movie that you would never have watched otherwise. They say you can take the headphones with you after the flight and use them again. Well I think they must have some sort of self-destruct feature as they don't work much past 2 days.

Anyways, here's to hoping I win these. I've been looking for a nice pair of headphones, and these might just do the trick.

Maxell earphoneas and headphones. Hands down !!

These buds and cans are crap even with my absolutely bad and deaf ears. Yeah, I'm deaf and know what is crappy.

Tested this with a iriver H320 since my Zune haven't arrived to Colon City here in Central America, Panama.

I bought a nice pair of Sanyo buds for use at home, about $20. Not wanting to lose them when I travel, I bought a cheap no-name brand for two bucks to throw in my travel bag. The two dollar set was better than the others.

When I was like ten, I bought a five dollar pair of headphones somewhere (kmart I think), and the sounded like terrible. First, even with the volume maxed you could barely hear them, and what you could hear sounded like poo. That was when I learned that cheap headphones just aren't worth it.

Dang, easily the worst pair ever happen to be the first pair I bought on my own and they were from the dollar store. No brand, just dollar store. They had a little red and blue pieces on them so you could know the left from the right and they had a little wind-able plastic case. I loved them so much case i bought them on my own; BUT THEY SUCKED BALLS!!!

Possibly the reason that i like to spend money on my headphones know, but i'm stuck with the free zune ones till money gets right.

The ones that came with my cingular 8125 are pretty bad.
