Customer Review: This set could be sold for 3 times its price, and still would be a bargain...!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't expect this much from such an inexpensive product. let's sum it up:
cons:
-Exellent audio quality (I'm not an audiophile, but I can tell the difference among my 7 headphones and earbuds and this is the best sounding set). -my heaphones vary from mid to low price range-
-really comfortable (I wear them for several hours and just after 10 minutes I forget I have them on).
-cable is conviently long and plug seems to be gold plated, a plus there.
cons:
-they look ok, but there's an obvious cheap plastic look to them. (in the pic here, they look whiter than they are, they're kinda grey)
-they seem rather fragile, but I don't think this headphones can break that easily. I'm buying another set to keep it as a spare one just in case. they're worthed it.
-noise-cancelling freaks, please look somewhere else...
in this price range I dare you find another headphones like these. I tell you, hearing is believing, well, at least in this case. you hear deep and undistorted bass, well-detailed mids and crisp and clear highs. it's not like they're heavenly perfect, but for your bucks it's a bargain.
Customer Review: Unquestionably -THE- best for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I deal primarily with $200-$500 circumaural audiophile headphones... with dedicated headphone amp, lossless audio, the whole 9 yards... but that stuff tends to be ill-suited for exercise and portable use. I wanted a good sounding headphone that was portable and preferably cheap.
Well.. these headphones at low-medium volume decimate many others I've heard that go for $50 or more... and at the moment they are selling for a mere $14. I have owned many brands of headphone and many levels of quality, from consumer mp3 player stock earbuds, DJ headphones, and many audiophile cans, from Sennheiser, Denon, AKG, Bose (bleh), and Shure. There is no question in my mind that these are among the best there is for cheap, portable headphones.
Cons:
Although the sound and value is phenomenal, they can be a bit awkward to put on or wear... it just takes some getting used to.
Heavily recommended for anyone seeking a first non-stock set of headphones, or anyone that needs a decent quality headphone for the go. I'm an audiophile snob, and I had no idea that I'd ever see the day where I could get by on a pair of $14 headphones.
Customer Review: You'll want to listen to you music collection again with these. Amazing Sound!

The Koss KSC75 is really a gem for cheap. Believe the hype on these phones. The sound quality is really impressive especially in relation to its price. I have noticed myself going through old albums and listening to them with the KSC75 and hearing things I never heard before. They just give me a whole new listening experience. Punchy Bass and sharp treble but still maintaining a balanced sound and good detail is remarkable. I would recommend " breaking in" the headphones for a few days. The sound gets better and better the more you use it. There are mods that can be found for these and I strongly recommend doing them. The sound quality greatly improves with the available mods.
Comfort of these headphones are quite good but you need to take advantage of the bendable ear clip to get it the way you want. I am not fond of the design of these headphones but I really could care less. The sound makes up for it ten fold.
I just ordered another pair of the KSC75 even though I have one that is perfectly fine. Thats how much I like these. An extra one just in case. Koss offers a nice lifetime warranty on these as well. Strongly recommend.
Customer Review: BEST OVER EARS I'VE HEARD FOR THE PRICE
Summary: 5 Stars
The KSC75 Titanium Stereophone delivers unbelievable sound reproduction while clipping comfortably over the ear. Soft, foam ear cushions, guarantee an open, hear-through sound-perfect when you want to stay connected to your surroundings. Pivoting earplates provide a better fit than most clips.
The KSC75 features dynamic elements for an exceptionally wide frequency response from 15-25,000 Hz. A 2 mil. titanium coating on its diaphragms increases the rigidity of the element, minimizing mechanical distortion and ensuring exceedingly accurate sound reproduction. Computer-optimized neodymium iron boron rare earth magnet structures allow the KSC75 to deliver greater volume, even with low-voltage portable devices. Oxygen-free copper voice coils improve signal transmission and conduction for cleaner, clearer sound. Perfect for travel, the KSC75 includes a straight dual-entry four-foot cord, and a L-shaped gold-flashed 3.5mm (1/8") plug.
A popular model in the Koss Stereophone line-up, the KSC75 delivers outstanding sound at home or on-the-move.
The KSC75 is covered by the No-Questions-Asked Lifetime Warranty
Customer Review: Amazing Sound Quality!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was deciding between these over-the-ear headphones and a Phillips brand one. After reading reviews from a boat load of audiophiles, entailing words I do not remotely comprehend, I decided these Koss headphones seem to be the best quality for under $20. Boy, were they right!! I expected these to be good, but these are freakin' amazing! I just tried them with my iPod, and it felt like I've been listening to music through a handful of gym socks until now. Like my music just woke up. Everything is crystal clear, the bass is awesome. There is no distortion. I truly CANNOT believe I waited this long to get headphones this good. I've been listening to music since I was in high school with any old earphones I could buy for under $20 and now I feel like I've been cheated out of this experience all my life. I'm telling you, these headphones are comparable to ones that cost well over the $50 mark. BUY THESE NOW.
**Some people might find these weird to put on, but you just slip in it in through the top of your ear (touching your scalp). After you slip it past behind your ear, the headphone should sit comfortably over your ear.
