Koss replacement cushing

Overall

I got a replacement sponge cushing pair for KSC75 only by online Live messenger chat communication. Thank you Koss, I am proud of Koss.
Review by Petar / (Posted on 11/11/2019)

Everyone should own a set of these.

Overall

Easy to use, easy to power, can wear for hours without discomfort. Their sound is among the most neutral I've heard, but is also very spacious and snappy. They sound great... most over-ear headphones just don't accomplish what these little guys can. They get just as much listening time as my MrSpeakers Alpha Primes, which I use quite a lot. Huge Recommendation.

Much better value than around-ear headphones

Overall

I bought these a long time ago and have used them for pipe organ music which is probably the most demanding use with frequencies covering the full range down to 16cycles and very high decibels. No distortions.
Review by Dave / (Posted on 8/13/2018)

Excelente sound but not so good clips

Overall

The titanium drivers just sound great. Goodhihgs but due they don't press themselves against your head, poor bass. Clips after some months of use separate from drivers. I had to glue them to have them in place. These drivers fit porta pro, so since porta pro holds better the drivers I interchange them. Now I got portapro with ksc75 drivers and got just superb headphones now!

Best sounding inexpensive headphones I've found

Overall

I have had about 6 sets of these over the last three years. This was because the wires finally fail at the entrance to the phone. I've recently discovered a trick that has reduced the problem with the wires failing. On each headphone, remove the clip and make a loop in the wire by twisting it clockwise one twist. Now replace the clip while holding the wire loop in place. This will completely eliminate the direct stress on the wire where it enters the phone.

The best value in consumer audio, period!

Overall

For $20 this pair of headphones are an absolute steal of a deal. They are highly detailed and linear, comparing remarkably well to headphones several orders of magnitude more expensive (I have Electrostats, Balanced Armature, Planar Magnetic. .. the works).

If you are OK with sound leakage (these on ears are in essence 'open' headphones that leak sound and also allow it in), these offer simply unbeatable sound value - the only thing comparable is the Koss KTX Pro, which offers the same TI 60 ohm driver, but with a different enclosure and handband design (different enclosure and clamp results in a warmer, bass rich signature, pleasant but less neutral).

In short, buy these headphones. If you like a linear, accurate sound, these may very well be all the headphone you will need for the rest of your life (hello Koss warranty!).

Excellent sound, especially for the price

Overall

These are my favorite headphones for my daily commute. Great sound, and inexpensive enough that you don't feel terrible if you lose a pair. I appreciate that they let enough external sound in to keep you safe while you walk. I only wish they had an integrated mic and volume control; I frankensteined my iPhone earbuds with these a few times but would rather they release a model of these with the mic built in instead!

Great sound - but do not last long enough

Overall

I bought my 7th pair (!) of KSC75 in february, and a week ago the cable broke or whatever - i can only hear anything from one side. This usually happens within 1 year and although i love the product, this short term usage is not satisfying.

Pls add mic and in-line volume control

Overall

Hey, Koss, I would love to buy a version of this Ear Clip Headphone with a microphone to use with cell phone and In-Line Volume Control.
Review by Kay / (Posted on 9/23/2016)

Best headphone design ever

Overall

The Ksc75 is the most comfortable headphone in the world! The pivoting clip design is amazing! Why is it so underrated? If you want to listen to your audio privately, but you still like hearing your surroundings, get these! The sound quality they managed to get out of these is better than most expensive bulky headphones. Very smooth and lively sound signature with just enough bass. They're light weight and they disappear from your consciousness and allow your music, movies, and video games come to life!
Review by Bored Boar / (Posted on 9/22/2016)

Not lasting as long

Overall

I've been using the KSC75 headphones for as long as I can remember, they are a great sounding and feeling headphone for the price. I use them every day so I expect some wear but the last two pairs have lasted less than a year each. Either the wires get brittle and break or the over ear arms get loose. I am buying another set but if these don't last I may need to reluctantly move on to something else.

Best Jogging Headphone in the Market

Overall

I heard about these on an audiophile website. I can't stand running with buds and these are the perfect replacement. I've been using them for 4 years. I'm on my second pair and just bought 3 more for gifts or in case I destroy mine. The bass strength and treble clarity are unmatched by anything in this price range. I run about 5 to 6 miles twice a week with these plus a ipod mini. No running headphone is perfect but these are the closest I have come.

Adore These Headphones

Overall

I can't stand earbuds or any in-ear style headphone, but need a lightweight headphone that will stay on during workouts and also not mess up my hair during non-workout use, plus sound good. These absolutely fit my every need, and are an absolute steal. The earpiece itself can be bent slightly to ensure a tight fit and when properly adjusted does not move AT ALL during a vigorous workout. The only time I have found them slightly uncomfortable was when I tried to wear glasses with them, but I really don't think that that issue detracts from how great these headphones are. If Koss were ever able to make a wireless bluetooth version, I'd gladly buy them, even at a $$$ price. In fact, I really want to upgrade to wireless, but just can't give up my awesome Koss headphones!

Best Clip EarPhone on the market

Overall

I decided to replace my Sony pysc earphones and was looking for similar style and sound looked at 5 different retailers didn't find until I stopped at micro center. The KSC75 Have great clear highs full sound and bass has good power too. Clip style is best for safety and hygiene but not many to choose from on the market but Koss Continues to rock it. Keep it up good job. Gotta go listening to them now!

Pros: Great Full Sound And Light weight , Low Price

Cons: I dont have more ears for another set
Review by picky ear / (Posted on 2/17/2015)

Throw Away your stock Earbuds and BUY THESE!

Overall

I keep a pair of cheap headphones in my backpack for when I'm not at home listening to my ESP-950s. Buying cheap headphones, I expect to have to replace them every few months. I've had these for ~6 months now and they're still holding up. But the sound is awesome for such a cheap headphone. I haven't tried them all, but these get my vote for the best headphone under $50. They are very clear and articulate and dont need a special amp to sound good. I mostly use these with my iphone when listening to Pandora or Spotify Premium and I couldnt be happier. Koss, don't ever stop selling these! I love to give these to friends as a gift and they are always blown away at how much better these sound than the stock iPhone earbuds.

Pros: Great imaging, very clear and detailed

Cons: The clip style can take some getting used to.

Titanium Tweeters

Overall

I love the titanium tweeter sound. I have Boston Acoustic VR-20 speakers at home with Titanium Tweeters, so I guess I'm partial.

Pros: Great Treble

Cons: no inline mic
Review by Franky Knuckles / (Posted on 10/24/2014)

Great earphones

Overall

The pros and cons tell the gist of it. I love these earphones but some of the music I listen to seems to wear out the drivers eventually. Notably, Hans Zimmer's The Dark Knight scores. They seem to be particularly heavy on the bass and the drivers will begin distorting on that eventually. I still love them.

Pros: Portable, better sound than any earbuds, so light sometimes I forget I'm wearing them

Cons: Drivers get overdriven and ruined after awhile
Review by dholme / (Posted on 8/21/2014)

Great Sound!

Overall

These headphones for the price can not be beat! Have had them for almost two years. I listen to many styles of music and they have great bass to highs. Also, have abused them running and spin classes and they just keep working. Am planning to buy another set because my wife keeps stealing mine.

Pros: Sound Quality, Durable
Review by Sound Guy / (Posted on 8/1/2014)

Best for the price

Overall

I've used these for about 7 years and have had to replace them only once. I buy 2 pairs at a time - one for home and one for my office. Not sure why other people have had trouble with the clips and wiring - maybe I'm lucky or maybe just better at taking care of them, I don't know. Comfortable to wear, great sound, full dynamic range, plenty of volume, PLUS a limited lifetime warranty. I get about 3-4 years out of a pair for 20 bucks. I know of no other competing product that can say that. I'd gladly buy these again at 5 times the price.

Pros: Great sound, long lasting

Cons: Ear pads wear out but are replaceable
Review by syzgy10 / (Posted on 3/14/2014)

These are really good!

Overall

Researched these and had to try them. The sound and comfort are great for the price. Perfect for the gym, running or anything outdoorsy.

Pros: Price, comfort and amazing sound.

Cons: None
Review by Xavier / (Posted on 11/26/2013)

Great phones, but _fragile_!

Overall

I've owned several pairs of these because they're a good combination of sound quality, comfort, and price. However, the solder joint between one of the wires and the corresponding speaker always fails. Longest they've ever lasted was a year, shortest about a month. But I keep buying them because nothing else I've tried is as good for the price.

Pros: Comfortable, good sound, inexpensive

Cons: Don't last as long as they should
Review by jimofthecorn / (Posted on 7/31/2013)

Fantastic at $20 dollars

Overall

Really great for the gym, no complaints at that price. But, it's time for a redesign. These are just embarassing for anyone over the age 12yrs.

Pros: Sound!

Cons: Looks
Review by Greg / (Posted on 6/7/2013)

Ridiculously good!

Overall

I guess i prefer my Grado's at over 10X the price in terms of audio quality, but, really, these are amazing phones at this price! Nice open bass, extended highs, uncolored sound--you really can't lose. Very acoustically transparent (non-isolating), so you can wear these safely walking around (assuming you don't blast the audio level), though they do give you a slightly geeky look. Also, I once managed to lose one of the clips, and Koss graciously sent one (no, actually BOTH sides) at their expense.

Pros: superb sound quality

Cons: Make me look
Review by der / (Posted on 6/1/2013)

Perfect sound

Overall

The best headphone sound I ever had or tested. They easily beat even ten times more expensive full headsets. I prefer to listen to the music on them than on my HiFi speakers. The sound is clean, dynamic, all frequencies are there, powerful bass at the whole volume scale. Chopin, Dire Straits or Dj Tiesto, all sound great. The build quality of the membrane is good -well glued to its base, but the rest is poor coz the ear clip gets easily detached and the cable ripped off (not for jogging). But they are worth buying again.

Pros: the best sound out there

Cons: poor build quality
Review by marcin / (Posted on 2/1/2013)

fantastic at this price

Overall

Replacing a pair of Sennheiser portable headphones that were more than 3 times the price and sound better with better bass extension.

Pros: Great sound, portable great if you hate earbuds

Cons: cheap looking
Review by Donsboys1958 / (Posted on 12/31/2012)

Koss KSC75

Overall

Well, they sound just great for the price. I once used them interchanging the clips by a complete (other brand) headset for taking the advantage of the shells... and voalá!!! I got a new pro set without spending more from my small budget!!! I recommend them fort listening classic Mexican guitars, or to listen to some Armin Van B. electronic beats!!! They are great for the price and even I liked them more than the UR40's!!!

Pros: Excellent balanced detailed Titanium Sound

Cons: The vol. control is not for portable stereophones at all. The clips after 4 months of wearing are useless and let you fragile to get the phones over your ears.
Review by nachomex / (Posted on 12/6/2012)

Best clip-on phone for under $20

Overall

KSC75 is the first Koss phone I purchased. I never used it for quite sometime. One fine day I listened to this and from that day on this has become my No.2 favorite (No.1 is KSC35) portable headphone. What else one could expect from a sub 20 dollar phone?

Pros: Best sound for its class, comfortable

Cons: clip detaches from phone after few months
Review by Murugesh / (Posted on 10/30/2012)

Constantly need to repurchase every year

Overall

I love the sound quality and the fact that you can protect your ear drums but not using ear buds; however, the wiring is cheaply made and eventually the clips wear out and don't stay on your ears. I have been using this product for 6 years now and always have to buy a new set every year. :( Until I find something better, I will continue to use this product but I'm hoping Koss will make improvements to this product. Koss Corporation: DMichelle, we do have a Limited Lifetime Warranty in place for this product. For more information, please visit our Support section!

Pros: Great sound and you can adapt the ear clips to fit your ears.

Cons: The wire always comes apart after using it for a year which exposes the wiring at the bottom. Even after taping it, the wires eventually disconnect and therefore you have to buy another headset.
Review by Dmichelle / (Posted on 9/25/2012)

Good Sound but

Overall

These work great and I use them a lot while at home. Sadly, the wiring leads to the earphone developed a break inside the wiring after only a year of use.

Pros: Clarity, bass response, comfort

Cons: Quality
Review by Bikerhal / (Posted on 9/18/2012)

Best Bargain Buy

Overall

First off, the sound. The drivers are the same units you'd find in the Porta Pros, Sporta Pros, and KSC35's, except instead of a plain Mylar diaphragm, it's titanium-coated. The sound is almost exactly the same (which is to say, spectacular for the under-$60 range), but the higher tensile strength of the titanium makes for a slight reduction in the low-range emphases of its cousins in favor of a bit more in the high end. This actually makes the sound a bit more balanced throughout the range, if a bit sharp and bright at times. Ultimately I don't see any reason to spend more than twice as much on the KSC35's when they sound pretty much the same as the KSC75's, plus the KSC75's rubber-coated clips are far more comfortable than the KSC35's tight, plastic clips. When they're this decently comfortable and sound this good, the KSC75's can be forgiven for their aimless 90's "styling." Though lightweight and still very hearty, they're not indestructible. After a year of abuse, the cord began to separate from the plug, exposing the wires. I wrapped the base of the cord in electrical tape thick enough to fit more snugly in the plug's sheath, then gave it a shot of superglue to hold it in permanently. No issues with sound cutting in or out from that. After another year, the connection inside the left earpiece got loose and started cutting out whenever the wire twisted a certain way, and then eventually quit altogether. It's worth noting that the clips also fit the phones from the Porta Pro / Sporta Pro headphones (and vise-versa), so when I still needed clip-ons to wear under my winter hat, I just swapped them out for the phones from my spare set until I could get them replaced under Koss's warranty. Make no mistake, these aren't at all flimsy, though neither is their cord quite as sturdy as the ones on their cousins. They just had the misfortune of getting yanked and pulled from my head all day every day for a very long time, as in my absent-mindedness the cord would usually get caught on something whenever I got up from my desk.

Pros: Best sound anywhere for $20

Cons: Ugly, not indestructible
Review by waffle911 / (Posted on 9/5/2012)

Good Sound , BUT..

Overall

Although these headphones are relatively inexpensive, after a period of time the plastic ear clip keeps coming off...a real pain. Koss would replace ..but, only after I pay for shipping..so not worth the warranty. Maybe I'm too critical about that shipping practice..just thought a warranty should cover everything.

Pros: Great Sound..especially bass

Cons: Plastic ear clip does not stay on
Review by LTLegend / (Posted on 9/4/2012)

Best Exercise Headphones

Overall

Perfect for Running! Super light, great full sound, yet you can hear your surroundings. Doesn't rattle during impact workouts, though not good for supine exercises, as they do not stay on when lying down.

Pros: Great sound, comfortable

Cons: Ugly
Review by Scott / (Posted on 7/25/2012)

Worth it

Overall

Buy 'em anyway

Pros: Absolutely fantastic sound with even body

Cons: Uglier than anything
