Koss KSC75 Clip-On Stereo Headphones for iPod, iPhone, MP3 and Smartphone - Black / Silver

These are perfect for running, gym and general iPod usage. Summary- Very Confortable, excellent sound quality, they stay on, well made - quality item (total usage >100 hours). I've tried multiple headsets over the years and if these broke today I would buy another set without hesitation. After owning my first set for a month I got a second set for my wife and she also agrees that they are better than anything else that she has used. I have put off putting a review until we had given them a good workout- I hate people giving fantastic reviews for something that they've only just bought. I got these three months ago and I jog every morning for 40 minutes (on the streets) and I use them in the gym 3 days a week on the weights, treadmill and rower. My wife uses hers constantly as well with no complaints. Not used them in summer as I have only had them during the winter months, but have no problems in the gym (warmish) due to sweat. I think that replacement foam covers are available. Sound is excellent - nice deep bass. I'm not an audiophile, so don't sue me if there not of an audiophile quality headphones. For the money (£13)they are EXCELLENT value for money. The sound is so far superior to the Ipod head sets. They are light and fit both myself and my wife's ears well. They have never fallen off. Headset previously owned: 1. Sennheiser PMX 80 Sport II - Uncomfortable - hurt my ears. Poor quality - no sound from the right ear - broke after only a few uses. Sound quality before it failed was good, but I think the Koss are better (check my review for the PMX80). My recollection of the sound may be tainted by how uncomfortable they were. My wife used them once, and would not use them again due to the discomfort level. 2. Philips Nike SH-J 045 NIKE Airpad - Comfort - far better than iPod, but nowhere as good as the Koss. Problem with them is that they are a little flimsy and I broke them (sat on them). When you ran into a strong wind, you would hear the wind thru them (turbulence across head band and in the headphones) 3. iPod Headsets - Tinny sound that never stay in your ears. I would have to constantly push the old iPod headsets into my ears as the sound would get weaker and weaker until they would fall out. Also I found them not very comfortable after 30 minutes use.

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.

Der Kopfhörer hat einen sehr guten Klang, feine und klare Höhen, fast ausgewogene Mitten und ein guter Bass. Der sehr tiefe Bass fehlt nur geringfügig, die Wandler sind ja auch nicht so groß, dennoch finde ich die Ausgewogenheit insgesammt recht stimmig und auf bestimmte Musikarten ist dieses Modell nicht beschränkt. Die Räumlichkeit und Offenheit des Klangbildes ist sehr gut, aber durch teurere Kopfhörer noch ein bisschen zu toppen. Ich lege beim Kopfhörer ja hauptsächlich Wert auf guten Klang. Nun verwende ich unter Android die App Wavelet und tatsächlich gibt es eine Korrektur auch für dieses Modell. Und damit zeigt sich eine enorme Stärke dieses Kopfhörers: Die Korrektur funktioniert und der kleine Koss wird nicht überfordert. Er hat sehr geringe Verzerrungswerte, bleibt ganz sauber und liefert dadurch mit der Korrektur ein enorm gutes Klangbild. Ich persönlich regel die Korrektur oft auf etwa 40% - 45% zurück, was mir klanglich besser gefällt als die originale vollständige Anpassiung an die Harmann Kurve. Aber das ist Geschmackssache und daher auch einstellbar. Hier kann auch ein Bassboost eingestellt werden, an dem der Kopfhörer auch nicht gleich zusammenbricht. Mein Vorschlag: +1,5dB bei 36Hz. Wer es heftiger mag, geht auch. Das ist klasse. Ob der Kopfhörer andere Pads (Polster) braucht, sei mal dahin gestellt. Auch mit den originalen klingt er bereits verdammt gut. Ein Bügel lässt sich, wie in verschiedenen Kanälen beschrieben, leicht und billig nachrüsten, falls diese Art der Klemmung am Ohr nicht gewünscht wird. Bei meinen Ohren ist es in der Tat etwas fummelig. Aber wenn es sitzt, dann macht's Spaß. Der Tragekomfort ist sehr gut. Das Teil ist leicht und wenig zu spüren. Mit dem Kopfhörer auf der Seite schlafen ist vielleicht möglich, aber nicht unbedingt seine Stärke. Nach einer Weile drückt es bei mir doch etwas. Kurz noch zum Vergleich: der Koss KPH-30ik trägt sich gut, aber mir gefällt der Klang nicht ganz so. Er ist bestimmt etwas für Leute, die den sehr tiefen Bass in ganzer klarer Wucht brauchen. Das kann er nämlich. In den Mitten und Höhen finde ich ihn nicht so klar. Keine Ahnung ob ich ein schlechtes Exemplar bekommen habe, da andere Rezensenten ihn als Top beschreiben. Auch für den KPH-30ik gibt es die oben beschriebene Korrektur, wie ich finde ist sie aber nicht so effizient bzw. wirkungsvoll wie beim KSC75. Er wird dadurch nicht präziser in den Höhen und Mitten. Diese sind beim kleinen Bruder sauberer, klarer und natürlicher was mir persönlich wichtiger ist. Die Instrumente wie Triangeln und Trompeten sind dabei deutlich realistischer. Und es schlägt sich auch in der Räumlichkeit nieder. Und schließlich lebt ein guter Bass ja auch von guten Höhen. Zum Schluss noch: mit einem Beyer DT990 würde ich ihn vielleicht nicht vergleichen, aber er ist schon verdammt gut und dicht dabei. Hope that helps :-)

A seguito della rottura delle mie vecchie cuffie "ultracompatte" ho finalmente deciso di provare questo set, riconosciuto pe essere già di suo un ottimo compromesso fra cuffie più grandi e quelle naturalmente, piatte e piccoline. Generalmente utilizzo queste cuffie per ascoltare vari contenuti mentre sono a letto, e ho bisogno perciò di cuffie capaci di ostacolare il meno possibile il cuscino. Questo paio vi riesce moderatamente bene, anche se non sono completamente piatte e come tale possono creare un seppur minimo fastidio. Tuttavia, la differenza in qualità sonora elimina subito questa faccenda, dimostrando di essere ben superiore alle cuffie che utilizzavo prima, già una marca comunque d'esportazione giapponese. Mi ci sono trovato molto bene e finora non ho avuto problemi.

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.

Recently, I purchased a pair of Panasonic RP-HJE-120 in-ear earbuds, which I reviewed elsewhere on Amazon.com. As I mentioned in my review, they have excellent sound. But although they are comfortable, they still make me feel as if my ears are stuffed up, and I can barely hear myself talking while I'm wearing them. So I wanted something that would provide less noise isolation, yet at the same time offer comfort and good sound quality at a reasonable price. So after reading all the favorable reviews on the Koss KSC75 ear clip headphones, I went ahead and bought a pair. I must say that these are the most comfortable headphones I have ever tried. The foam-padded earcups rest comfortably against my ears and do not block out ambient noise like in-ear earbuds. The ear clips slip on and off easily, although the earcups sometimes inadvertently snap off, as other reviewers have mentioned. This is not a big problem because they snap back onto the clips easily. And they sound great. The sound is more open and spacious than that of the Panasonic earbuds, with crisp highs, clear mids and solid, but not boomy bass. Many reviewers have commented that the bass is lacking, but I discovered a very simple technique to enhance it. Just slip a sports headband over the earcups and position the front of the headband over your forehead. The flexible headband will apply slight pressure to the earcups to improve the bass response. If the headband is too loose, you can use a safety pin or two to take up some slack and make it fit more snuggly. If you wear these headphones while working out like I do, the headband will not only absorb perspiration from your forehead, but it will keep the earcups more securely in place and press the earcups more snuggly against your ears to really bring out the bass. There is really no need to remove the earcups from the clips and attach them to a metal headband, as some reviewers have suggested. For about $15, they are a great value. The headphone market is cluttered with all kinds of garbage from fly-by-night companies looking to cash in on the popularity of personal music players and smart phones. But Koss has been around for over half a century and is one of the few American companies left from the early days of hi-fi, so they have a rich legacy. The KSC75 uses the same drivers as the company's well-regarded PortaPro headphones, which have been on the market for years. In short, the KSC75 is a great-sounding, comfortable headphone at a bargain price from a company reknown for its headphones. What more could you ask for?
