Koss KSC75X On-Ear Headphones With In-Line Mic - Midnight Blue | Massdrop Exclusive Review

I got these because of their good reputation. The sound is what you expect for 60 Ohm Koss drivers, great for the price. Since I don't like the feeling of having something stuck in my ears (IEMs), I decided to try these. There are two issues I have with one being temporary (we hope). First is the tangled mess they can get into. Second, not great to wear with a face mask. Once the COVID protocols are lifted I give them another go.

The fact that these are just absolutely insane sound quality for the price point speaks volumes. And if you're an active person like myself and use headphones while doing work around the house or running or whatever! They hold up to sweat and stay geared on your ears really well.I'm big on listening to tunes or podcast while running or mowing the lawn. These provide great sound quality and are moderately comfortable. Only downside I find is the cable is meager at best and as most other people…

I use this product to improve the audio of my Oculus Rift S headset, and so far it has worked wonderfully.Pros--They sound great, especially compared to the lackluster speaker in the Rift S.-The clip on mechanic makes them really good for VR, because they stay in place, and out of the way-Lightweight means I kind of forget they're there-Comes with a microphone, although the Rift S cannot utilize it with the built-in 3.5mm jackCons--There's a good bit of sound leakage, maybe not the best for…

Truly the most underrated headphones that you could find in the market. A really good value for what they can offer, and they offer a lot. Balance highs and mids, while giving a little bit of a roll on the bass (but not too much as to make them bloated).The fact that they're open backed makes them even better for imaging, although it falls down on the resolution factor, which is not such a big deal in comparison to how well tuned it is, which is extremely well tuned.Cables are kind of a downer,

Sadly I only enjoyed mine for about a week before my cat took one literal swipe at it and cut right through the wire. Usually I'd just fix that myself but they use such thin copper and wire its damn near impossible. So I'm currently sending them back to Koss to try the warranty and if it doesn't work I will be doing a 2 pin or mmcx connector mod like I did with my koss kph30is. Which my cat also destroyed. Thicker wire tho with those.

If you imagine hanging two coathangers from your ears you get the comfort level of these. I've managed to get them comfortable with the clips about twice. The clips also offer almost no stability at all. Someone people swear by the clips. These people are wrong. They sound amazing and are super cheap. You can move the headphones to a cheap 5 dollar headband and they go from the least comfortable headphones in existence to some of the most comfortable.

This is honestly a fun little guy to mess with, he's small but has a lot to offer.His soundstage is huge, surprsingly detailed, has a peak in the higher s region. Might need to lower that a bit. But regardless, for a 25$ fun little audiophile piece of gear, it's impressive

The end wouldn't fit into my phone case, the cord is kinda thin. Sound quality was pretty good for how cheap and light they are. The clips weren't very comfy

Same great sound as regular ksc75 and has a mic, but the cable is even thinner on this than the original, which was already thin

Like the original KSC-75 these are cheap entry to open back audiophile sound, but better looking in the dark blue color and has a microphone for making calls on your cellphone. The sound has a warm mids ajd sparkling treble with good ballanced bass. Bassheads won't like these. The soundstage is wide and the imaging is good. I also did the Parts Express Headband Mod and attached the drivers to my old Koss Porta Pro Headband which is by far the best mod for the KSC75. Haven't tried the Yaxi Pads…

The sound is good so far, they just feel SUPER cheap! Put on the headband. Changed ear pads for a more retro look That's my review.

I've had a few KSC75s since 2013, they were all consistently comfy, some were a bit loose but never uncomfortable.This new version has a tighter grip/clamp on the clips and the materials feel cheaper, it also smells, similar to cheapo hard plastic cellphone cases (never had this issue with previous versions.)The mic placement is not the best either, compared to the mic on the KPH30is, it's way too low which makes this "feature" useless.Sound it's OK, it's bright neutral just like the original…

Very comfortable. The sound quality of these headphones are superior to numerous others I've tried before and very surprisingly affordable.

The sound quality you get out of these is comparable to $150+ headphones. There are a few shortcomings however.The cable is bad; It's very thin and will very likely break if you snag it on anything with some force. The whole unit doesn't feel very robust for that matter. The microphone is alright, and it gets the job done, but it's nothing special. The comfort will probably vary from person to person significantly. The bands that go on your ears need to be adjusted just right so that they are…

I bought for my meta quest 2 to make experiences more personally comfortable and less intrusive to others. Love them . Bought these and another pair of budget friendly over the ear option. Pleased so far

Very good mids and treble while having a big bass roll off overall it's enjoyable but you might lose some detail with the low-end

Being an audiophile on a very tight budget, I cannot tote expensive headphones around due to the possibility of them getting broke. This is where the Kids KSC75 comes in. No, they do not sound like $1000 planar headphones, not do they sound like $200 ATH closed-back headphones either. What you have though is extremely light and balanced headphones, especially once you put them on a headband and do away with the on-ear clips. All genres of music sound wonderful in these, although EDM style music

The headphones were made cheaply and this is felt in every piece of the product. The ear attachments to put on your ears I found extremely uncomfortable. After a few minutes, I had to remove them. The sound was tiny empty and cheap feeling. At this price bracket you're probably better off getting in ear sound devices.

microphone isn't great. it produces static or is inconsistent in picking up voice. there is also a button on the mic which i thought was maybe for mute or changing volume but so far its function is unknown. all in all i would suggest just getting the original KSC75 and a separate microphone

I honestly can't think of much better for this price point. The tuning and relaxed treble with these on ears is very enjoyable. The bass exists in the sense you can hear the bass notes but that's it. Overall very pleasant tonality.
