Product Description
Earclip Design / Rich, well-defined wide-range sound / For all portable players including MP3 / Titanium Sport Finish
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.

 Aaargh! August 18, 2008
These headphones are incredible. They sound amazing, they fit well, and they're cheap. BUT, those stupid little ear clips are detachable. They always fall off in my bag, and then I can't tell which ear is left and which is right. Plus, I've lost two sets of ear clips in one year. I give up.
 Great Value, Comfort and Performance August 13, 2008
I bought these a few days ago based on the amazon reviews and would also recommend these phones for anyone, based on:
Price: can't get any cheaper lets face it!
Comfort: the most comfortable I have used, very light on the ears, I don't have any problems with the design it is just what I have been looking for - non invasive, soft, no bulky cans on your head, the clips you can gently move around a bit for your best fit say if you need them on a bit tighter, you really don't know they are there - perfect!.
Performance: I love music and they sound just fine to me, nice bass and treble, very clear, do not sound cheap or tinny and a much nicer sound overall than the white phones that came with my ipod.
General: also has a handy volume control on the wire. nice solid 90 degree plug. Hard to fault. A high quality audiophile version with similar design and lightness but say around $150 - that would be tempting too!!
Well balanced between price and performance August 6, 2008
I cannot use the in the ear style of headphone. I have tried several brands and none of them work for me. Bearing that in mind, I consider these headphones an excellent choice. I have spent large sums of money on others but none have matched this one when you balance the price in there. I had to travel a lot for work and took these with me on my trips. They were comfortable and the sound for me was excellent. I realize that sound quality is actually a very personal and subjective topic so others may disagree. They have not broken or torn. I did purchase a case to hold them while not in use and that may help a lot with their durability. When used while sitting in the airport I could hear the announcements pertaining to my flights and still enjoyed my music. On the plane they are not too bad. Clearly they aren't noise canceling but I still enjoyed my music. Given the price, one could afford to purchase a couple of spare sets as 'failovers'. I advise at least giving them a try and don't immediately write them off due to the low price. If you have tried many headphones over the years with little satisfaction, what is there to lose?
The reason for the 5 stars is the combination of Price and Performance. If they were terrible or cost a lot, I would not have given 5 stars. But, for under $17 at time of last purchase, they are an excellent buy.
 Great sound, flimsy design July 28, 2008
the sound from these headphones is really great. Rich deep bass and clear highs. The only problem I have with them is that the ear clips keep popping off when I try to put them on my ears. Or if I have them in my pocket, and am not very careful, the clip will catch and pull right off. I would prefer to have the clips attached with metal, not just a plastic knob that can easily be pulled off.
Minor Cable Problems July 25, 2008
The only problem I've had with these headphones (and it's happened with both pairs that I've bought) is with the external plastic insulation on the cable. The portion of the cable that's close to each earpiece can come in contact with your face and neck. Over time, the oil in your skin can cause that part of the cable to become shiny and stiff. Eventually, the insulation will crack and the wiring will break, especially if you're wrapping the headphone cables a lot.
I've had the same problem with other brands of headphones, but not with others. I suspect that it has something to do with the type of plastic that's used to insulate the wiring.
Still, for under $20.00, they're a good buy.
