KossKSC75 Clip-On Stereo Headphones for iPod, iPhone, MP3 and Smartphone - Black / Silver

This budget purchase turned out to be a killer decision. Bought the KSC75 a year ago without giving much thought or having high hopes about them. I was in uni accommodation w/o any source of music apart from a notebook, a phone and HTC ear buds(good for calls but not much else) and having 32k+ songs collection with a limited income, KSC75 popped in my head. Having read numerous glowing reviews of them on head-fi (if you want a thorough sound review of these headphones go there) and no money to spare I said "why not". Now, using them for a whole year I can't be happier so I must say a few things:- the sound is superb, can't find higher quality for the money, they can handle high volume well and there's a good amount of bass and clarity(that's what most non-audiophiles look in headphones);- they are open - not for the library, quiet workplace or airplane BUT perfect for when you want to hear the world around you - training outside, in a cafe, you can even talk with someone and have music playing at the same time;- they ARE durable - kind of delicate looking at first, but I abuse them a lot and I've slept with them for a year and they are as new. About a month ago I thought I had finally broken them daisy-chaining a few amps( ^^ ) but it turned out to be a hair stuck in the driver;- they ARE extremely comfortable - again first impression was totally opposite but you gotta remember you can and should play around with the ear clips, of course applying common sense - everything can break. I have smallish ears, long hair (waist long) and I can sleep with them and forget I wear them when doing sprint.Now that I've got several headphones costing several times more I still use these and I tend to forget they are on so all in all you can't go wrong with these as long as you remember what they are - extremely budget friendly, open and clip-on.

had them a few months now and they still sound great(although i have EQed them a bit), they are designed well they fit properly once adjusted right (just carefully bent the clips to be wider for my big ears).they are light enough to use for a few hours at a time without much discomfort.overall good quality product

I recommend everyone to try these.But - they are extremely open, so if you want to listen to music in a quiet office then forget these, it'll sound like you've got a tinny phone speaker on low to everyone in the room. But the openness gives a really decent sound, a lot of detail, and quite bassy.They are impressive.But, the construction is laughably bad. The ear clips are always coming unclipped from the headphone. The plastic looks like the lowest grade plastic manufactured. The styling is goofy af. The "comfort upgrade" that the 75 added over the 35, is that now your entire ear is now only pincered by a steel spring between cheap hard plastic, the spring itself, and this clear unforgiving hard silicone rubber. So I can only imagine when it was just all hard plastic.So yeah, like a few other Koss products, it sounds great, but it feels like wearing a torture device, but it sounds great so you should try em out. They are very loud too btw.But... they are still worth getting, even if only to have on when you have a dance around the house.

I LOVE these! For my requirements, they are the best earphones I've ever bought.First, let me state what I wanted from them:Sound quality:Excellent. This has got to be the most important factor, hasn't it? The sound is clear with great base and treble. These are the only headphones I've owned that I don't actually have to hold pressed into my ears to get the full base. The other ones just pop out again. (Is is just me or do other peoople have that problem?)They must stay put:They do!Comfort:Very comfortable, snug fit.Value:I've bought cheaper but at £12.98 these are superb value for money.Here are what some people may see as the negatives:The 'open' design means you can hear outside sounds (personally, I don't like to feel I won't hear the telephone or someone calling me).The 'open' design means other people can hear your lovely base sounds in a tinny and irritating way. I don't wear mine in public places but if you do, please buy something else.Looks: they are large, so hardly discreet.The cord: not nice and smooth but dual-core and quite kinky. A very minor point and so long as they last for a year or two, that's fine by me. Anyway, there's that lifetime guarantee.Summary:I've tried various earphone designs and whilst I'm not complaining about my previous purchases, it's all according to what you need and what shape your ears are. These are definitely my favourites so far and I would highly recommend them.
