??? I didn't returned anything, didn't buy anything!

I dont know what you do with your headphones or ears but I cant say I see any issue with used over the ear phones. ear buds, otoh, are a no go used.

I picked up the Sony's a year ago, sound pretty good but no sense of where the sounds are coming from as far as in front or behind.

Sound quality isn't that big of a deal for me, I'm by no means an audiophile and the $6 pair of ear buds I use when I'm at the gym sound just fine and the $13 JVC Marshmallows Ive got sound spectacular to me, they just irritate me as I can hear my breath sounds, and when the cord rustles against my shirt when I look side to side. I'll probably pick up the Fatal1tes and see if I like them, if I don't then they're going back.

just a peeve, i find the idea of buying a used headphone rather gross, let alone an ear bud type. sharing ear wax...uncool.
