I only use them for critical listening, not for jogging, gym or outdoor use; they do not have the tightest fit against the ear and I do not think they are good for highly-active use. I find they reproduce music remarkably well, the overall sound is very well balanced, neutral and inoffensive; instrument seperation and soundstage are very good. The KSC75 has quite a reputation among d.i.y enthusiasts for its ease of modding to improve the overall sound for little to no cost.
There is a popular mod for these headphones called the ''KSC75 Kramer mod'', head-fi member kramer5150 introduced this mod over a decade ago. There are full guides on youtube and head-fi on performing the kramer mod, but I prefer just the simple drill mod.
Start with removing the pads, then carefully prying the black plastic grill from the driver. Using a Dremel tool with 5/32'' and 1/8'' drill bits, drill holes in the areas in the attached pic. This mod improves the overall clarity and brings the sound forward, making for a more fun listening experience. Mid and treble detail improves slightly with this specific drill mod and it also seems to add weight to chugging guitars..it can be tremendously satisfying at times. The biggest change in the sound is the bass. Bass punch and extension improves slightly, reaching as low as 60-70hz in my tests, not bad for a small dynamic driver!
The best thing about these little Koss are ease of use/replacement; they are under $20 and super easy to power. My other headphones need an amp to get them to acceptable volume, but these guys can be driven with anything and are great for general purpose and even gaming.

This explains why moving the black wire around can sometimes temporarily fix a failing speaker.
So the theoretical repair for this brand new set of headphones is to put a layer of super glue gel over the yellow glob to give a hard layer that the black wire can't push through, will update with results down the line.

This pair is still working, and I haven't been careful with them. They live stuffed in a suitcase full of A/V equipment, rolled around every weekend.

Update - 3-10-21
This pair is still working, and I haven't been careful with them. They live stuffed in a suitcase full of A/V equipment, rolled around every weekend.
However they don't last. I have had 3 pairs and each of them has failed. First pair I ordered Dec 2013 which worked for about a year and then I bought a second pair in Oct 2014 which worked bot about a year when I then purchased my third pair in July 2015 and they just now (July 2016) stopped worked.
In every single case one of the ear pieces stopped putting out sound while the other got very quiet. I was convinced that the reason the first two stopped working was because I just tossed them in a bag and maybe the cable got pinched a little too hard by a book or my laptop or something so with the 3rd pair I got a tupperware case and I put the headphones in it religiously before putting them in my bag and yet here we are a year later and they still failed.
They sound great but they just aren't robust.
So why 2 stars on such a fantastic running headphone? Because the wires constantly break down at the jack connection. as the wire moves around from your body moving, one of the two earphone wires eventually breaks down and you are left with one earphone. Not the worst thing in the world, except for one huge side effect. On most phone devices, when a wire is bad on a headphone, especially broken, the device reads the jack as either being lose or not in at all. So this will randomly shut off all sound to the headphones.
I've used many different style headphones on a daily basis for work and training and these have the highest rate of failure at the jack connection.
There is a lifetime warranty with Koss, however it will cost you $9, plus the cost to ship the headphones. So at $15 from Amazon, you are really only saving a couple bucks, but have to deal with the time of waiting for Koss to receive, process the return, and ship out another set. My suggestion is get a couple pairs and return when it breaks and use the back up. I return 3 at a time to save me on the shipping.
If it wasn't for the faulty wiring and connection, this would be a superb 5 star product that should be owned by every runner, or active person.

Lo bueno:
. El sonido, simplemente incredible, el rango y detalle son cercanos a grado hi-fi, nunca había escuchado bajos tan agresivos ni voces tan claras, ni agudos tan definidos en un conductor de este tamaño.
. Relación calidad-precio, estos pequeños audífonos son lo mejor que puedes comprar con menos de $400, tan simple como eso, de hecho, son lo mejor que puedes comprar por el doble, triple, no hay competencia.
. Portátiles, son muy ligeros y pequeños, los puedes llevar en la bolsa de la camisa, el cable es lo suficientemente largo para el uso de escritorio, pero no tanto para ser estorboso.
Lo malo:
. Están bien feos. Este diseño no se ha actualizado desde mediados de los 90s, y ya era feo en ese entonces. El clip es de metal cubiérto de plástico traslúcido. Una cara que solo John C. Koss puede amar.
. El buen sonido se debe a que la cubierta deja pasar el aire, esto hace que se puedan apreciar frecuencias bajas con poder, pero el precio a pagar es que todos a tu alrededor pueden escucharte y tu a ellos, ya que existe ningún tipo de aislamiento.
. La comodidad compromete la calidad de sonido, entre mas ajustado tengas el clip, mejor sonido tendrás, pero será mas cansado para tus orejas. Muchos usuarios cambian los clips por diademas (es sencillo hacer la modificación si consigues una diadema independiente) pero esto desafía el propósito deportivo.
En conclusión, los KSC75 no son la mejor opción en cuanto a moda y confort, para eso son los beats o skull candy, pero su sonido es tan bueno y su precio tan accesible, que lo demás no importa, la pura curiosidad justifica el gasto.
Wie hier schon oft beschrieben, sollte man sich unbedingt von der Minimal-Verpackung und der billigen Optik nicht täuschen lassen!
Zuerst dachte ich mir ,mal sehen ob ich die Teile auf meinen recht asymmetrischen Ohren (das rechte steht mehr ab als das linke) halbwegs zum Halten kriege‘. Überraschenderweise klappt das viel besser als gedacht. Auch wenn es relativ fummelig ist, bis man die Teile in Position gebracht hat, musste ich an den Bügeln noch nix verbiegen. Sie sitzen bombenfest ohne irgendwo zu drücken. Auch die Befürchtung das sie für eine anständige Basswiedergabe zu locker sitzen, bestätigte sich nicht! Drückt man die Hörer leicht gegen das Ohr verändert sich der Klang so gut wie gar nicht! Egal ob man flach im Bett liegt, nach vorn gebeugt oder sonst wie hört, es klingt immer gleich! Das gibt es sonst nirgends!
Isolation gibt es dafür keine. Umgebungsgeräusche hört man exakt genauso laut wie ohne.
Und wegen der fehlenden Zugentlastung an den Hörern sollte man immer vorsichtig sein.
Nun aber zum eigentlichen Highlight dieser Hörer, dem Klang:
Vom Charakter her ähnlich wie gute elektrostatische Lautsprecher, intonieren diese Hörer jegliche Musik mit einer kaum vorstellbaren Klarheit und Neutralität, das es einem die Sprache verschlägt! Besonders akustische Instrumente wie z.B. Gitarren klingen derart crisp und sauber, wie ich es höchstens von meinen 1000€ teuren Magnetostaten Audeze LCD-2 kenne! Prinzipbedingt gibt’s beim Bass, insbesondere im Tiefbassbereich nicht die physische Wirkung, die man von In Ears oder geschlossenen Over Ears kennt, was z.B. ein Schlagzeug auch mal minimal schmächtiger klingen lässt. Aber andererseits wird durch diese leichte Zurückhaltung auch nichts nur ansatzweise verdeckt oder aufgedickt.
Der Check mit speziellen Messtönen + langsamen Gleitsinus von 20Hz-16kHz bestätigt das hier, im Gegensatz zu fast allen In Ears, keine scharfen Höhenspitzen oder Einbrüche herausstechen! Meiner Erfahrung nach steht und fällt der Klang von Kopfhörern sowieso hauptsächlich mit dem Frequenzgang und steigert sich nicht zwingend mit dem aufgerufenen Preis! (hier hatte ich mir schon auf einer Messe 3000€-In Ears von Shure nach 5 min. aus den Ohren reißen müssen!) Das bestätigt sich hier erneut!
Also, vor allem zu diesem Preis eine unbedingte Empfehlung!

Perfect and just what i was looking for
As for these Koss ones, only time will tell if the construction is good. The sound is what truly shines. With 45mm drivers, these clip-on headphones are able to deliver good bass response along with crisp trebles. None of my previous sets were able to give a full spectrum of sounds like these Koss. I also don't need to crank the volume as much to listen to music or movies.
I highly recommend this set for people searching for high quality clip-ons!
Update 2018-06-06
After regular normal usage, the cable has split open at various sections, exposing the wires, which had to be repaired by applying hot glue.
The soldered connection for one of the earpieces is also coming loose, making it lose audio signal if bent at certain angles.
This is a bit of a shame, since no other earclip headphones I owned in the past have come close to this pair in terms of audio quality.
I had to bump the rating by 1 star.
Ich habe Audeze iSine 10 (Neupreis ~400) hier mit welchen ich die Koss Vergleiche.
Komfort:
Hier gewinnen die Koss klar, da dessen Ohrbügel mit weichen Silikon ummantelt sind und sich der Metallkern so biegen lässt wie man ihn gerne hätte. Bei den Audeze handelt es sich um billiges, steifes und schon fast scharfkantiges Plastik . Die iSine besitzen außerdem ein sehr großes Schallrohr welches vor dem Gehörgang liegt während die Koss luftig locker auf dem Ohr aufliegen.
Kabel:
Auch hier Siegen die Koss. Zwar ist das Kabel bei den KSC75 nicht Wechselbar wie bei den iSine aber das runde Kabel neigt nicht so stark dazu sich zusammen zu falten wie das Flachkabel der Audeze. Perfektes Upgrade für diese tollen Kopfhörer wäre eine Version mit MMCX Anschluss.
Klang:
Hier kommt der Pluspunkt der Planar Technik der iSine zum Vorschein. Scharfe knackige Kickdrums. Dennoch, auch die Koss verfügen über einen schönen Bassbereich. In der Höhen liegen sie sogar wieder vorne da dort die iSine, insbesondere die Version ohne Cipher (Apple adapter), etwas weniger brilliant klingt. Stimmen rücken somit auch etwas on den Hintergrund. Durch die offene Bauweise erreichen die Koss ebenfalls eine gute Soundstage (Bühne Räumlichkeit).
