Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy rich, accurate sound through your portable CD or MP3 player using the Koss KSC75 on-the-go headphones. Designed for people who want a lightweight listening solution without sacrificing audio quality, the phones employ a pair of sport clips to fit neatly around each ear, thus eliminating the constraints of conventional headbands. As a result, listeners can wear the phones--which weigh a mere 1.5 ounces--without disturbing their carefully coifed hairdos. When not in use, the headphones store compactly in a backpack or purse without taking up unnecessary space. Meanwhile, the phones produce terrific sound through their titanium-coated high-polymer drivers, which are built for maximum precision, as are the bass-boosting neodymium iron boron magnets. Their combined efforts generate a noteworthy 15 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response. Additional features include oxygen-free copper voice coils within the cord that protect the signal clarity; a straight, dual-entry 4-foot cable; and a 3.5 mm plug. What's in the Box
KSC75 headphones, 4-foot cable, user's manual.

 Legendary headphone value doesn't disappoint July 8, 2006

Others have hailed these headphones' "bang for buck" value, and they are not wrong. Inexplicably, 90% of the headphones on amazon.com seem to have 4-star ratings (which can make it difficult to choose, and is hard to understand as the lions' share of consumer-grade headphones are *terrible*), but these are actually the real deal. These literally famous headphones are unquestionably the best sounding thing you can buy for this money. In truth, they are not *quite* as good as the KSC-35s they replaced (which had a bit more bass and were slightly more expensive), but KSC-75s really sound *incredibly* good for the money. Seriously.
You can pick the looks apart or the clip mechanism if this type of headphone isn't your cup of tea--but if you're evaluating raw sound it's *amazing* how good these sound for the price. So for what these cost, stop shopping and just buy these right now.
KSC-75 is the budget headphone king.
A no brainer for the price. Get them. June 16, 2005

Getting an iPod is what finally made me look into spending money on decent earphones. I first tried the Sony EX71 because friends said good things, and well, they were white. And they definitely sounded better than the stock Apple earbuds. More (but not necessarily better bass), better midrange, and the nice bonus of some sound insulation. I was satisfied.
As a consequence, I ended up doing more headphone listening at home too (apartment+subwoofer+late night=eviction), so I did some research looking for entry level performance headphones for home use. I ended up getting Alessandro Music Series One headphones (basically a Grado SR125 with mellower highs - also great headphones). The Alessandros were a revelation, as my first serious headphones. The Sony EX71 suddenly became a joke.
Well, after much research, one name kept coming up when it came to nice, cheap portable headphones: Koss. Many models were recommended: KSC35, KSC50, KSC75, PortaPro. I settled on the KSC75 as they're small clip-ons, and they were supposed to have a nice adjustable fit, in addition to fitting securely. I was skeptical though, as they were less than one third what I paid for my Sonys.
The KSC75 looks cheap. I wasn't impressed. But I have an open mind, so I gave them a listen. These suckers can rock! They deliver a really full sound, surprising for the size and price. They absolutely trounce the Apple earbuds and my old Sonys. And not by a narrow margin. The bass is impressive, and commendably tight. The midrange has real body to it. And the highs sound pleasing too. They also improve with a headphone amp, so they even have a little room to grow. I can't imagine anything under $50 sounding better. They don't really have any serious sonic faults in the $50 and under range. Considering the ludicrously low price Amazon is selling them for, nobody in their right mind should have any issue with the way the KSC75 performs. They are a noble backup to my Alessandros.
The KSC75 passed my running test. They fit well, they're easily adjusted, and they're secure. They're also quite comfortable. I also can hear enough around me that I'm aware of traffic.
Negatives: These headphones do not offer any isolation, so if you need that, consider Shure or Etymotic. If you're concerned about style, these also may not suit you. It's like you have little, silver UFOs clipped to your ears. Personally, I'm glad they're not available in "mug me white."
Lives up to the hype! February 11, 2005

I researched headphones a lot before buying these. The line of Koss phones with the portapro driver's (including the KSC35/50/75) consistantly get excellent reviews. So I was glad to find them here for an great price. I've heard that these phones sounds as good or better than anything under fifty-bucks. I don't have enough experience with a range of phones to say this for sure, but from my limited experience I believe it.
SOUND: excellent, straight out of the box. Best sounding pair of phones I own and only fifteen-bucks!? Nice range, clear tones, and great (but not overly bloated) bass.
My one complaint about sound is that it leaks a lot! Because these are open design they will let outside noise in, and they will share your music with your neighbors. So maybe not as appropriate for noisy buses, subway, airplane, or in close crowds who don't share your music taste.
COMFORT: surprisingly nice! They were easy to put on the very first time and I can hardly tell I'm wearing anything. One nice improvement over previous Koss clip-on models is that the clip is adjustable. It's a metal wire covered in comfy rubber. You can easily bend the wire to adjust the clip to fit perfectly on your ear. You can make them hang loosely, or tighten them up for punchier bass, and so they stay snug when exercising.
LOOKS: not the best, but better than previous Koss clip-on designs. They look like an updated KSC35--silver and more curvy.
OVERALL: Excellent set of headphones that are UNDERPRICED for their value!
Great running headphone May 14, 2007

I purchased these headphone based on reviews I read on several headphone related forums (head-fi, etc). I was looking for some decent sounding, non- in-ear design headphones that wouldn't fall off when I go running. These KSC75's delivered! I've tried them out several times now and they will not come off no matter how fast I run or how long. They also sound great! Very good bass for this price range. Also, they have a nice long cord, which is helpful when you're 6'4" and your ipod headphones are too short to reach your waist. One last thing - sweat resistant. I've gone on hour runs in 90 degree heat and these have stayed remarkable dry.
Highly recommended.
Great headphones that don't break the bank March 27, 2005

I bought these to replace my Koss KSC-35. The first thing I noticed about the KSC-75 is that the earclips are much more durable than the KSC-35. The KSC-35 earclips were made of plastic which would eeventually break off. The KSC-75's earclips are made with both metal and plastic which is more sturdy. The sound on the KSC-75 may not be as good as the KSC-35, but they are better than the cheap earbuds that uses comes with a digital audio player. The earclips feel comfortable even after several hours of use. The cord is long so you don't have to worry about it not reaching your mp3 player in your pocket.
Edit (May 30, 2005):
I've been recently going to the gym and these headphones really stay on your earphones regardless of whether I'm on the treadmill or doing free weights.
