Pros:
Great Sound for the Price: These headphones may look simple, but they deliver surprisingly good sound quality. The clarity is impressive, with clear highs and solid mids. While the bass isn’t heavy, it’s balanced and doesn’t get muddy—perfect for casual listening or podcasts.
Comfortable Fit: The ear clip design is lightweight and stays securely in place without feeling too tight. They're comfortable enough for long listening sessions, and the clips are adjustable for a better fit. They're also removable so you can clip the drivers onto a compatible headband if you don't love the on-ear feel, which is what I did.
Retro Charm: The retro silver and black design is pretty iconic. If you appreciate old-school aesthetics, these headphones bring some nostalgic vibes while still offering modern performance.
Ultra-Lightweight: These are incredibly light, making them great for workouts, running, or just casual listening on the go. You barely notice you’re wearing them, which is a huge plus for portable headphones.
Cons:
Not for Bass Lovers: If you’re into deep, thumping bass, these might not satisfy that craving. They’re more focused on clarity and balance rather than heavy low-end.
Open-Back Design: The open-ear design means they leak sound, so they're not the best for public spaces where you don’t want others to hear what you’re listening to. Similarly, you’ll hear some outside noise, which may or may not be a downside depending on your preferences.
Conclusion:
The Koss KSC75 are a fantastic value if you're looking for affordable, lightweight headphones with solid sound quality. Their retro look and comfortable fit make them a great everyday choice, though they’re not for bassheads or those who need noise isolation. For the price, you can’t go wrong.

Estos audífonos lo que hacen es que se escuchan increíble pero donde te dejan a deber es en la construcción, el cable no es muy bueno y pues son de plastico, pero la almohadilla me sorprendió lo buena que es sobre todo porque he visto que mucha gente la cambia pero no se me hizo necesario. Además si son cómodos porque no pesan nada asi que no sientes para nada algo en la oreja, es como tener lentes. QUE POR CIERTO SI USAN LENTES NO SE PREOCUPEN, yo pensaba que por traer lentes no se acomodarian y no es el caso. se pueden usar sin problema ni los van a sentir.
Mi problema fue el envío, a mi me tardaron en llegar 14 DIAS, dos semanas, aduana también me lo retrasó unos días asi que tengan cuidado, si necesitaban un regalo rápido o andan queriendo comprarlos para un cumpleaños, navidad etc. Cómprenlos con tiempo.
The product is built cheaply enough that something somewhere will go loose and start making annoying rattling sounds when you move about. And when you're working out, you're basically moving a lot, so a lot of rattling can easily get on your nerves. That and I fear the longevity of the product when used in that fashion.
You see, the KSC75 is a sibling to the PortaPros. They *almost* share the same earpads (slightly different, all cosmetic no audio difference, the back part of the foam is a bit thinner to match the thinner profile of the portapro driver housing), they share the same diameter and resistance (don't worry you can easily drive these with the power of your smart-o-phones), and they *almost* share the same headphone drivers! The difference? These are TITANIUM COATED! Didn't hear me? TITAAAAAANIUM COOOOOATED!
What does that mean, I hear you ask. Well it means the high frequencies are more present, balancing out the warm sound of the portapro drivers. In my humble opinion, these sound a heck of a lot better than the portapros. You lose out on some bass for sure, but in return you get "audiophile" grade listening experience... or at least a taste of it.
It's only once you listen to the actual expensive pairs of headphones you start to realize that though this follows the shadows of those pairs, it simply *lacks* something that prevents it from standing shoulder to shoulder with the much more expensive stuff. But if you're coming from a cheap pair (especially a sub-50CAD set of headdies), this will be your first true taste of what all the audiophiles are drooling over.
But of course, this comes at a mild to considerable drawback. If you somehow haven't noticed by now, these are EARCLIP headphones. If you never tried one of these before, I recommend getting yourself the cheapest sets you can ever buy and trying them on. Why? Because they won't get that much more comfortable than that... that is if you figure out how to put them on properly in the first place.
You see, I've actually used a couple of earclip headphones by now, mostly cheap ripoffs to not so great phillips or panasonic pairs, and I can tell you that 80% of those that were curious how they worked couldn't figure out how to put them on until I did a hands-on demonstration. But even then, it came down to either you liked how they fit, or hated them and never wanted to touch another.
Despite me being in the former camp, prolonged usage made the anthelix of my ears ache, though that may partially be due to the miserable fact that I'm a glasses enthus- person.
But that isn't all. These aren't robust-feeling sets of headphones. Though mine hasn't broken (yet), I imagine with enough tug and cable trips, the connections will eventually rip out and I'll either have to re-solder them (which is actually pretty easy since access to the connection is just behind a single plastic piece glued in by weak glue and plastic prongs to secure it), or buy another set.
However, GOOD NEWS! You aren't stuck with the earclips! You actually have options! One popular (and cheap) option is to go for the Parts Express headphones. Just rip out the drivers on those carefully (don't feel sad they are terrible), and snap on the good KSC75 and now you have a headphone that no longer has the earclip issues!... but of course this comes at a small price. The fit is horrible, the headband presses on the...
okay hold on what's up with the inconsistent external ear part naming? Like I go on google search right, and I type in external ear part diagram, and what do I see? Multiple diagrams with different names and placements! Ugh.
Anyways it presses on the back end of your ear, further back from the antitragus, and only once you give it enough encouragement (by bending it a bit) will it start to feel comfortable. At least it's cheap to replace if you screw up the bending process.
Unfortunately, it seems that cheap band is the only option you have if you are a Canadian amazon-er. So keep that in mind when purchasing the product.
Oh right the sound. It's good. Great value for sure. You won't be disappointed if you set your expectation to the price. Though these don't look as good as the portapros, these definitely sound better. Yaxi earpads will give it more "air", though be warned that once you put them on, you may have to switch to headbands as the earclips WILL hurt with the substantially thicker foam in place. Are the pads worth the purchase? Eh. I can't tell you right now, though I will say once the foam gets worn out I suggest going for the Yaxi for replacement because why not?
Or you know what, join me in my jank club as I sport a PortaPro band with KSC75 drivers that have yaxi pads (and give the portapro drivers the KSC75 earclips whenever I'm in the mood for no headphones but no earphones either)! Oh have I mentioned the porta pros use the same detachment part so you can hotswap the bands as you see fit? Wait till I tell you about the modding scene!
*ahem*
Anyways these are a great set of headphones for the price, horrible for fitness, and know what you're getting into comfort-wise.
That is all. Have a nice day!

But even then, it came down to either you liked how they fit, or hated them and never wanted to touch another.
Despite me being in the former camp, prolonged usage made the anthelix of my ears ache, though that may partially be due to the miserable fact that I'm a glasses enthus- person.
But that isn't all. These aren't robust-feeling sets of headphones. Though mine hasn't broken (yet), I imagine with enough tug and cable trips, the connections will eventually rip out and I'll either have to re-solder them (which is actually pretty easy since access to the connection is just behind a single plastic piece glued in by weak glue and plastic prongs to secure it), or buy another set.
However, GOOD NEWS! You aren't stuck with the earclips! You actually have options! One popular (and cheap) option is to go for the Parts Express headphones. Just rip out the drivers on those carefully (don't feel sad they are terrible), and snap on the good KSC75 and now you have a headphone that no longer has the earclip issues!... but of course this comes at a small price. The fit is horrible, the headband presses on the...
okay hold on what's up with the inconsistent external ear part naming? Like I go on google search right, and I type in external ear part diagram, and what do I see? Multiple diagrams with different names and placements! Ugh.
Anyways it presses on the back end of your ear, further back from the antitragus, and only once you give it enough encouragement (by bending it a bit) will it start to feel comfortable. At least it's cheap to replace if you screw up the bending process.
Unfortunately, it seems that cheap band is the only option you have if you are a Canadian amazon-er. So keep that in mind when purchasing the product.
Oh right the sound. It's good. Great value for sure. You won't be disappointed if you set your expectation to the price. Though these don't look as good as the portapros, these definitely sound better. Yaxi earpads will give it more "air", though be warned that once you put them on, you may have to switch to headbands as the earclips WILL hurt with the substantially thicker foam in place. Are the pads worth the purchase? Eh. I can't tell you right now, though I will say once the foam gets worn out I suggest going for the Yaxi for replacement because why not?
Or you know what, join me in my jank club as I sport a PortaPro band with KSC75 drivers that have yaxi pads (and give the portapro drivers the KSC75 earclips whenever I'm in the mood for no headphones but no earphones either)! Oh have I mentioned the porta pros use the same detachment part so you can hotswap the bands as you see fit? Wait till I tell you about the modding scene!
*ahem*
Anyways these are a great set of headphones for the price, horrible for fitness, and know what you're getting into comfort-wise.
That is all. Have a nice day!
Sadece müzik değil, oyun-film vs her şey için kullanabilirsiniz. Açık bir kulaklık ve soundstage efsane olduğundan fps oyunlarındaki performansı da inanılmaz.
Benim gibi kulağında kulak içi kulaklıklar gevşeyen ve sıkı durmayan biriyseniz, sıcaklarda da kafa üstü takmakta zorlanıyorsanız tam sizlik.
Eksileri dışarıya çok ses vermesi ve açık olduğundan neredeyse sıfır izolasyon olması. O yüzden evde kullanın :)
Bir de aşırı bastan hoşlanan biriyseniz çok memnun etmeyebilir çünkü sub-bass olarak zayıf bir kulaklık. Bunu da modlamayla uğraşırım derseniz bir headband takıp yaxi pad kulaklık yastıklarından sipariş vererek biraz çözebilirsiniz amazon’da da satılıyor.
Kısacası alın aldırın. Müzik dinlemeyi seviyorum diyen herkesin envanterinde olması gereken bir kulaklık.
