Great sound with small budget.
Overall
This is my great headphone. After long term use, I leave it in my storage box over 7 years, cause of cable damaged. Two weeks ago I found it again and try to replace cable by myself. It's make me surprising and amazing, sound still excellent for me. I love it. Anyway I just bought Porta Pro Limited Edition for my birthday gift and may buy new one KSC35 for this X-mas.

OMG these are so good!!
Overall
Jumped from the great but bulky KSC75 clips to the very excellent PortaPro and finally decided to try these out to minimize having a headband.
Right away - Big, BIG SOUND!! Crisp highs, creamy mids and lows. These are it for me; I'm done shopping around for headphones.
One drawback: The plastics ear clips have sharp edges which can be uncomfortable. An easy fix, but this shouldn't be a consumer issue. I also had to readjust the clips to the correct mounting position (The wires on the headphones were hanging in the wrong direction).

The best headphones I've ever owned...simply put.
Overall
Whether these headphones just happen to hit my ability to hear properly, or just suit my tastes perfectly...they're literally my favorite headphones of all time.
I've invested in cheaper headphones, and MUCH more expensive headphones over the years. But when I put these back on, I remember how much I loved them. I own several pairs, just in case they get discontinued again...PS: Please don't.
To describe them to the new buyer...they have AMAZING separation. That's my favorite thing about them. Instruments and artists are in shockingly distinct locations. The sound stage is really wide and expansive.
They're not astoundingly bassy...just right. They're quite balanced I'd say.
Once again...just love them.

15 Years of great listening!
Overall
Just found them again in my luggage after missing them a year ago. Still the best mobile headphones I ever had. If KOSS would equip a new model with a mic, I'd buy it again.
Pros: ************
Cons: none

The very best
Overall
I have had these for probably 10 years and rocked them HARD the whole time. Finally after years of abuse a driver blew out and started crackling with heavy bass. I followed the warranty procedure and in less than two weeks I am again listening to a great set of the finest 'phones available. I have had many 'phones that cost many times more than these do...... none of them compare to the sound and durability of the KSC 35's. They all have burned out, broke up or failed in some way but these keep delivering the goods day after day, year after year.
Pros: Great sound, simple and durable

resistance
Overall
I purchased this earphone in 1997 in USA, then return to France where I use it for 16 years now with a great satisfaction for its quality sound!! It still works very good so far, even if I already changed cushions. But believe me or not, but that pair of earphones went to my washing machine one time, (it was in a shirt pocket) for a complete cycle, with hot water, detergent, spinning cycle, etc...! Result it still works as at the first time!! AMAZING! Thanks to Koss for this good quality and heavy duty products!! French customer-

Great, but for the price the KSC75's are hard to beat
Overall
I have always been a huge fan of Koss for value and warranty. They have the best quality and reasonably priced headphones in the industry. I had lost my Porta Pros and was looking for a replacement, so I picked up a pair of these. I noticed a big improvement in clarity and the comfort of not having a headband squeezing my head for hours at a time. The range on these for the price really is impressive! I have compared these to other brands like Sony and Bose for two to three times the price and always come to the opinion that these outshine them. That being said. I decided that I wanted to purchase another pair that I could leave at work and ending up buying a pair KSC75 for half the price in case someone decided to walk off with them. I honestly couldn't notice a difference in sound. Maybe some of you would be able to, but I think you will be as happy as I am with either model.
Pros: Excellent volume, clarity, and range
Cons: Double the price of the KSC75

Excellent sound quality for the price
Overall
After reading raving reviews in head-fi.org, I purchased this phone 3 or 4 years ago. Sonically, this phone offers superior quality when compared to others in the range of $50 to $60. I do own Porta Pro and KSC75 but KSC35 tops all of them despite some cons. I would strongly recommend this phone to anyone
Pros: Amazing Sound Quality, Light weight
Cons: Not best fit for my ears, Not so good build quality

Fantastic headphones!
Overall
I've had these for almost 10 years and they still sound fantastic. When I first got them they felt a little strange on my ears, but I have long since gotten used to them and they are comfortable for long periods of time. They are very lightweight and due to the clip design, don't mess up your hair like over-head designs. They also don't get in the way like behind-head designs do when wearing a collared shirt. The bass on these is absolutely incredible. Some of the deepest I've ever heard on headphones.
Pros: Great sound, portable, light
Cons: None
