KSC75 Portable On-Ear Clip Headphones, Retro Style, Ultra Lightweight, Silver and Black

Another Amazon customer bought these Koss headphones along with a set of Parts Express retro Walkman-style headphones with the metal head band. The customer popped the mediocre phones off the Parts Express frame and popped the Koss ear cups on in their place, and so did I. Voi-la! High quality and super-retro, super comfortable vintage headphones! I flexed the Parts Express metal headband backward against the curve to "ease the squeeze" on my skull and, because of the ingenuity of the Amazon customer, I now have a set of quality headphones I can wear for hours while I run scales on my Fender P-bass without bothering the family. My musical tastes run to classic rock, classic metal, symphonic, reggae, country, classic r&b, and old jazz. I think the sound quality is great, with plenty of low end and sparkling highs. By the way. These Koss headphones out of the box with the, ahem, ear clips, are only tolerable without the Parts Express frame swap. Wearing the ear clips, I felt like I had Dumbo ears, found myself pressing the headphones against my ears--which would be fine if I had an extra pair of arms! If I jogged with them on, I think the headphones would bounce annoyingly against my ears. Anyway. Great sound for the price. I will definitely buy these again if they break.

my cat knocked my AKG headphones off my desk and the right ear no longer worked, I have some in ear buds but they always fall out and can get uncomfortable, so I was looking for a new but affordable pair of headphones and decided to try these out. I like that they rest on my ears with no headband, I barely notice that I'm wearing them. The sound quality isn't mind bending but it's good for everyday use. I like that they look very 2000s in style, and I bought some yellow replacement foam from Koss, which I reccomend, since you can personalize them a bit more and the replacement foam seems to be a bit smoother/softer than the foam that comes with the headphones. My one complaint is that I wish the cable was a bit higher quality and a little longer, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.

So I've got hyped up about this one and decided to try it out. For testing condition, I plugged this thing into a $200 DAC (BTR7) with EQ option turning off to make sure it is as stock as possible, and played a couple songs on Qobuz. This is how it sounds like: Imaging: Very good, or arguably the best one for the price. I can pinpoint where the instruments, voices come from easily. Soundstage: Decent. It is not very close nor very far if I have to describe it. Bass: This is not a bassy sounding one, it has some punches but still, it is not bassy... Obviously, you can tell by just looking at the thing and knowing that it will scoop out a lot of the lows so definitely not recommended using this thing to listen to EDM, Rocks, or any gernes that emphasize on the lows. Vocal: It is tuned to sound warmer. I played "Can't Stop Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley and this thing emphasizes Elvis's voice by a lot, making him sound like he's very upfront. Also, it seems that it could somehow partially replicate the depth of the ring in his voice to a degree, which is to my surprise that I didn't expect it to happen on a $30 earclip but here I am writing this review. Treble: The treble is very average, or it could be arguably bad. I played "Chandalier (Piano version)" by Sia and this thing immediately struggled A LOT. I could hear all the static noises when Sia reached her high notes and when she reached her best moment in the song, the KSC75's treble got very distorted and it unfortunately pierced my left ears (not literally) and because of the very harsh treble, I had to take it off. I felt a bit uneasy for the next 30 mins before I could listen to anything else. So in a nutshell, you don't really expect a $30 earclip to have a clean treble but I have to write what I experienced. In conclusion, it is a decent $30 earpiece or very good if you consider the price. However, it is definitely not audiophile sounding grade if I have to rate it. It has good soundstage, imaging and an okay-ish sound quality. One last thing, although it is very comfortable when you wear it, you may look stupid if you wear it in the public (sadly). And this thing leaks sound too, so definitely not recommended for public use. In the end, I rate it 4/5. +3 for being decently good +1 for being cheap -1 giving my left ear a hard time P/s: Fixed some typos and made some points clearer.

Les écouteurs n'isolent pas bien du bruit lorsque l'on écoute de la musique notamment, et ne tiennent pas fermement sur l'oreille. A choisir, autant plutôt investir dans un bon casque audio.

Muy bueno

Very nice, open sound! Cable quality is a little cheap and the padding is very thin and whatever, but the drivers themselves give a very crisp sound, and the open audio gives a ton of depth to music. I can see why these headphones are highly recommended as a cheap starter set for people looking into high quality audio. I just wish the shipping wasn't so annoying to get into Canada, but otherwise I'm extremely happy with these.

Onestamente non sono a buon mercato... Però le ho provate e già tenendo un volume medio devo dire che si sente molto bene, qualità audio davvero molto buona, suono molto pulito, poi chi vivrà vedrà... Non conoscevo questo marchio, poi ho preso informazioni più approfondite e sembra che lo statunitense John C. Koss fondatore del marchio omonimo sia stato colui che per primo nel 1958 abbia creato la cuffia stereofonica, quindi immagino che Koss ne sappa qualcosa di cuffie, però che non crediate sulla scatola sia scritto Made in USA, bensì Made in P.R.C. (People's Republic of China ovvero Made in Cina).
