desertcart.com: Koss KSC75 On-Ear Headphones, Silver, Retro 90s Style, Portable, Wired Plug | Ultra Lightweight, Audiophile : Electronics

Review: Great Headphones - Recently, I purchased a pair of Panasonic RP-HJE-120 in-ear earbuds, which I reviewed elsewhere on desertcart.com. As I mentioned in my review, they have excellent sound. But although they are comfortable, they still make me feel as if my ears are stuffed up, and I can barely hear myself talking while I'm wearing them. So I wanted something that would provide less noise isolation, yet at the same time offer comfort and good sound quality at a reasonable price. So after reading all the favorable reviews on the Koss KSC75 ear clip headphones, I went ahead and bought a pair. I must say that these are the most comfortable headphones I have ever tried. The foam-padded earcups rest comfortably against my ears and do not block out ambient noise like in-ear earbuds. The ear clips slip on and off easily, although the earcups sometimes inadvertently snap off, as other reviewers have mentioned. This is not a big problem because they snap back onto the clips easily. And they sound great. The sound is more open and spacious than that of the Panasonic earbuds, with crisp highs, clear mids and solid, but not boomy bass. Many reviewers have commented that the bass is lacking, but I discovered a very simple technique to enhance it. Just slip a sports headband over the earcups and position the front of the headband over your forehead. The flexible headband will apply slight pressure to the earcups to improve the bass response. If the headband is too loose, you can use a safety pin or two to take up some slack and make it fit more snuggly. If you wear these headphones while working out like I do, the headband will not only absorb perspiration from your forehead, but it will keep the earcups more securely in place and press the earcups more snuggly against your ears to really bring out the bass. There is really no need to remove the earcups from the clips and attach them to a metal headband, as some reviewers have suggested. For about $15, they are a great value. The headphone market is cluttered with all kinds of garbage from fly-by-night companies looking to cash in on the popularity of personal music players and smart phones. But Koss has been around for over half a century and is one of the few American companies left from the early days of hi-fi, so they have a rich legacy. The KSC75 uses the same drivers as the company's well-regarded PortaPro headphones, which have been on the market for years. In short, the KSC75 is a great-sounding, comfortable headphone at a bargain price from a company reknown for its headphones. What more could you ask for?
Review: Pretty Good Earphones for Working Out - I bought these earphones for working out only, so most of this review is based on my experience with them working out. Naturally i understand there are some really great earphones on the market that can make you think that your in the same room at the musician. Those earphones are not going to be the ones that your going to work out with. There are some people out there that pay a hundred dollars for earphones just to work out in! But why when you can spend less then 15$ on these nice little Koss earphones. For most people who dont have money to burn i recommend these little guys. Like i said they are less than 15$ and they have very impressive sound quality for such a good less expensive earphone. They are also comfortable as well with a nice semi soft rubber sleeve on the plastic loop that goes around the top of you ear. The earphones do a really good job of staying right were you put them no matter what you do as well. So comfort, sound quality, and price are the main focal point of these earphones. But there are some draw backs that are not deal breakers in any way but must be mentioned. First the earpads are your typical foam cushions. Those do get sweaty especially if you sweat alot. Ive seen some out in the market that are a type of really soft rubber that helps with the sweat but i dont know how weird that would feel having wet rubber on your ears. At the same time i know how wet foam feels on the ears and it feels a little wierd too. I guess i would rather have the foam though because it adds the comfort that is important to me and koss makes 3 packs of foam ear replacements for only about 3$ so its no big deal. I just worry that one day the sweat may ruin one of the earphones, but thats why 15$ is a better investment in earphones when you work out. Next, this is me kind of nit picking but sony has a 40$ pair of new earphones for working out that has what they call an extension for the earphones. In other words if you have you mp3 player in an armband and you put these earphones on...you can disconnect the extension which is in the middle of the cord connected to the earphones and you'll have another 3.5mm plug there that can go into your armband. While at the same time the cord is very short and perfect for working out with an armband. If these Koss had that i would never buy another pair for working out. But they do not and i have to wrap the cord about the mp3 player. If your really big on looks then i dont know how you will like these koss. They are not really stream line so when you put them on your ears they do come out a little. Looks like the top of a hamburger bun on the side of your ear just not as big. Dont get me wrong they are light so you wont feel them and really who is going to care what they look like when they are covered in sweat. One last thing...Koss offers a lifetime warranty on these little babies but i think that is standard on all there equipment. Just a little perk i wanted to add. So overall i really like these earphones after using now for about three weeks. So dont be worried about getting these, they will be great for everyday casual use and working out if that is what your looking for. But if you feel that you need the Best looking, sounding, smallest, and most expensive earphones on the market to work out in...then your not hitting the gym hard enough cupcake. Go back to your starbucks and enjoy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hows the sound quality compared to Koss PortaPro?**
A: I have both KSC75 and PortaPro.  If I don't do a A, B comparison I enjoy both, they both sound excellent.  If compare them A to B, I like the PortaPro's the best, they have a warmer sound good vocals smooth high end, very musical.   The PortaPro's also fold up and will fit in a large pocket of a jacket or coat.  The KSC75 have ear clips that I did not want to fool with , I just unsnapped the drivers from the clips and clipped them on an old headband I already had.  The KSC75 is not as warm sounding but the base is still there, a string base still sounds good.  Vocals sound very good and the high end may be a bit brighter.  Both are 60 ohm headsets so they are easy to drive with portable devices like cell phone.  They do have different drivers, KSC75 are Titanium and I think the PortaPro are Mylar.  The sound stage my be a little bigger and sharper defined on the ProtaPro, but only apparent in A, B comparison.  Remember one costs around $15 and the other is around $40.  I like them both.

**Q: How / whereabouts is the volume controlled?**
A: There is no volume control on the head clips. The levels are adjusted at the source machine, but you can probably find or make a separate cord with a spin-knob to regulate volume which would fit between the source and the clip jack.

**Q: Will these work OK when wearing eye glasses?**
A: I where prescription shades with a thicker side walls, and thin regular glasses, and works for both. I fit the units on first then the glasses find a way to fit around the headphones.

**Q: Would these be good for running?**
A: Absolutely.  I've been running with mine for almost seven years, and am just now going to replace them because the foam has deteriorated.  (Replacement foam is about half the price of a new set of headphones, so why not?)  I'm not an Ironman, but I jog - not walk.  Maybe 9 minute miles or so if that gives an indication.  And I run trails or the beach 95% of the time, so the jostling/direction change/etc is certainly more than just an average street or treadmill run.They are slightly loose when you first get them, but as somebody else pointed out, it's wire that can be slightly adjusted for the perfect fit.  Yes, mine have popped off a few times when there was tension (by design), but maybe 10 times in 7 years?  I can live with that.The thing I like best is the sound.  It isn't $300 level sound, but it's a heck of a lot more than $15 sound.  Oh, and I'm a gadget guy, so I really, really wanted Bluetooth headphones to work and not have to deal with the cords.  But I haven't yet found good Bluetooth ones that aren't in-ear, which means that upon every stride (for the in-ear), I hear thump thump thump.  I'm sure there's some good on-ear Bluetooth out there, but for the price of these with a very mild inconvenience, I'm buying a new pair when I finish typing this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ underrated desighn and great audio at a rock bottom cost.
*by H***N on June 17, 2026*

Lives up to the hype. Didn't disappoint. I always, ALWAYS loved this specific headphone design. It solves the space issue of traditional headphones while not being disgusting, ear-ache inducing, and difficult to get a good fit like earbuds are. I wish it was a lot more popular so we got more variety of options and maybe some good wireless options instead the only existing wireless ones being drop-shipped garbage... and the wireless option koss also offers which is apparently really bad for some reason despite these being fantastic. Just need more ear clip headphones in my life. Build quality is a bit sketch tho. But that's what you get for good audio at a cheap price. You're more or less buying great audio drivers in as cheap a shell as they could manage to crank the costs down. Maybe look up some DIY crafty options to keep the cable from disintegrating at the point it connects to the headphones. I did that to mine before even trying it stock cus I heard ahead of time the cable's connection isn't the most durable thing.
