Just curious - why are iPod Socks in 'crappy products' group? I thought they looked awesome and were actually useful - yeah, they were kinda overpriced, but hey, Apple.

Are iPod Socks really considered a failed product?

Because they were silly. Sure, a modest amount sold but they were generally regarded as a laughable product. This was largely because they were debuted by Jobs, who we expected to only personally show off serious items.
