Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones

Comment: These affordable headphones have such great sound and are so comfortable, I can wear them 8 hours straight while at work. Those in-ear designs have me writhing in agony after 30 minutes of use, but not these babies! The over-the-ear design is ideal for work, where I need to be semi-aware of what's happening around me, but also need to be able to block out surrounding distractions. These phones succeed on both counts. Just be aware there is a lot of bleed out, so your cubicle neighbor might complain if your volume is high.

They're so affordable, I bought a few pairs so I can just keep one pair at work and one at home.

The bad news, they're not all that durable. I've gone through 3 pairs now. The mechanism that connects the wire to the earpiece is not reinforced and tends to come loose so the sound cuts in and out for a while before failing entirely. But they are so dang comfortable, I can' help myself-- I'll just keep buying this model as they fail. (I was able to restore one to health with a drop of solder.)

Comment: Hi

Everytime I use these, I still can't believe the incredible sound that's coming out of these. It is so shocking how little they cost and the superb sound that comes out. More than worth the cost. Definitely.

Comment: These sound incredible like every Koss product I own. I don't know how they do it at the price point they sell them for. I own a set of Koss Portapro's and a set of Senheiser PX - 100's probably the best 2 phones out there regardless of price. These do not dissapoint, they are right there with those 2. They are extremley comfortable (at least to me) in fact the most comfortable I've had in a clip on style. The only dissapointing thing to me was that I was under the impression they had an in line volume control (THEY DO NOT!) so if that means a lot to you take that into consideration before you purchase. It was a minor thing to me and they sound so good I don't care. Plus Koss sells a volume control you can add to any phones if you need one that badly. I also own a set of Koss spark plugs which are the best bud style I've owned. and a set of the Koss $4.99 all purpose phones from Wal-Mart. Even they sound better than phones costing way more. plus thy even came with extra ear cushions and they do have an in line volume control. All Koss products have an unconditional lifetime warranty. $6 will replace any set you own no matter the cost or reason. it's a no brainer, you can't go wrong with Koss. I'm a lifelong fan now.

Comment: Pros
Cost: very cheap even at a retail store like Electronics Expo or Wal-mart
Sound: i have a pair of Sennheiser OMX 52 and those cant come close to matching these unless i squeeze the OMX 52 against my head
Design: aesthetically its very nice but a few gripes on functionality...

Cons
Usage: it might just be me but i have to spend about 2 minutes every time i put them on to get them just right as the ear clips cannot be adjust to any great degree

Overall: Koss KSC75s are such great values that even en.wikipedia.org states this on their page for Koss Corp. That said these earphones might be abit difficult to use with larger ears but if they ever break for any reason at all make you keep your Koss warranty papers as they have a "No Questions Asked" policy for their warranties (something Sennheiser probably will never do).

Comment: I love these headphones! I would consider paying up to $50 for them if I had to. They stay on your ear well and are comfortable. I can wear them for extended periods of time without any discomfort. Compared to most other headphones of the same type and all in ear headphones the sound quality is much better. They can handle all the ranges that music have, from treble to bass. I would recommend them to everyone. It is one of the best purchases I've made in a while.
