 Nice but hard on the lugs March 9, 2008
R. Nicklin (Sheffield, England)
Ive had Koss PortaPro and SportaPro headphones for ages and bought these on the basis of the good reviews. Sound wise they are spot on! Fit wise these are very poor, as they have to be placed behing the ears - like a pair of glasses. I wore them on a recent flight and they became very irritating very quickly. Lastly they make you look a like a geek! Dig a bit deeper and buy the PortaPro model.

I have been using the Koss KSC75 for sometime now and really adore them. Here are my views:
Sound Quality
The Koss KSC75 really does justice to the excellent components that has been used for making it. From the manufacturers specs - "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." Throw at it music of any gere or movie soundtracks and it gives the sound a new life and energy. If it is the sound that you care about you couldn't ask for more at this price range. It does not fail anywhere across the sound spectrum. The bass, the clarity of individual instruments etc. probably can compete and possibly excel many a professional headphone.
Design & Comfort
Honestly, I was never a fan of headphones. If it sounded good, they were either huge or had to be poked in uncomfortably into the ear canal or easily fell off from your ears. I personally like the design of the KSC75. It is worn like a pair of spectacles but wouldn't fall off even when running because of the extra curve. The ear hold comes off at times but it won't detach while wearing. You cannot think of it as inconspicuous as it definitely would be very visible and also audible to the people around you. The audible to others aspect needs some explanation. If you keep the volume to a decent but not too loud level, it is unlikely that anybody can make out anything. If you turn up the volume to max, as another reviewer mentioned, it can be used as small portable speakers. Actually, just as others might be able to hear you, you can hear others too. In this age of noise-cancelling headphones, that might seem silly but again I really don't mind it. For one thing you can cut out the external sound in your mind once you get engrossed in the superb sound and on the other you can talk to another person while listening to music without having to take the headphone off! As you get used to the specs type design (two unconnected pieces for each ear) with soft foam, you almost forget that you are wearing them and there is no strain whatsoever even on wearing for a long time.
Looks and Style
Well... nothing very stylish about it. Grey plastic with a big KOSS written on the ear hold. As for size, the 2-inch dia ear cushions almost fully covers your ears. In fact, somebody could mistake it for something you got from the one pound shop.
Overall
May be this headphone is not for all. You need to decide first if you can live with others hearing what you are listening to or being seen wearing big headphones compared to ear plug type headphones. I have had some of my friends who hated wearing headphones get attracted to this one after listening to it and trying wearing it for some length of time. May be because of the way it rests over your ear, you don't feel that you are listening through a headphone. It feels more like the sound is coming from bigger speakers in your room. If you get your priorities right, this headphone wouldn't disappoint you.
Well done Koss and happy listening to you.
 Single Glaring Fault January 2, 2008

The basic rundown you can get from any review here (on the strength of which I made this purchase):
Comfort - Good, not excellent, but they don't feel bad after long wear.
Convenience - The ear clips are not nearly so easy to handle as the Sony design I had previously.
Sound Quality - Fantastic. Definitely matches up to the reviews.
The glaring fault? The open backs of the headphones actively project whatever you are listening to into your surroundings. I'm not talking about the vaguely tinny sound you get with most headphones when they're turned up too high, I mean that they act like a pair of speakers stuck to your head and turned outwards.
1 Star? Yes. I am of the opinion that anything which fails to perform it's stated function deserves no better. These are headphones. The purpose of having headphones, for even the most vaguely considerate of people, is NOT bothering other people with your music. That's why we buy headphones, instead of just carrying around a pair of speakers.
These headphones fail. If you intend to use them for anything other than a cheap alternative to music, don't even consider purchasing.
AMAZING! April 12, 2007

I previously bought some Shure E2C's and quite frankly they were rubbish incomparison to these, plus there was the price difference which meant I saved a small fortune because I had to send the Shure's back (because they were faulty). Bass is amazing (really loud if you like quite a bit of bass) and vocal reproduction is v.good aswell. Plus, pretty comfy and not that much sound leaks (depends how loud you have your music! For the money I don't think you could beat these, pretty much the best! Highly Recommended A*!
Superb... March 5, 2007

[...] The sound quality they provide is nothing short of superb with high quality treble & bass making for an all round great listening experience.
You seriously cannot beat these headphones for quality & value for money.
