KOSS Folding Portable Headphones KSC75

Summary: Lives up to the hype!
Review: I researched headphones a lot before buying these. The line of Koss phones with the portapro driver's (including the KSC35/50/75) consistantly get excellent reviews. So I was glad to find them here for an great price. I've heard that these phones sounds as good or better than anything under fifty-bucks. I don't have enough experience with a range of phones to say this for sure, but from my limited experience I believe it.

SOUND: excellent, straight out of the box. Best sounding pair of phones I own and only fifteen-bucks!? Nice range, clear tones, and great (but not overly bloated) bass.

My one complaint about sound is that it leaks a lot! Because these are open design they will let outside noise in, and they will share your music with your neighbors. So maybe not as appropriate for noisy buses, subway, airplane, or in close crowds who don't share your music taste.

COMFORT: surprisingly nice! They were easy to put on the very first time and I can hardly tell I'm wearing anything. One nice improvement over previous Koss clip-on models is that the clip is adjustable. It's a metal wire covered in comfy rubber. You can easily bend the wire to adjust the clip to fit perfectly on your ear. You can make them hang loosely, or tighten them up for punchier bass, and so they stay snug when exercising.

LOOKS: not the best, but better than previous Koss clip-on designs. They look like an updated KSC35--silver and more curvy.

OVERALL: Excellent set of headphones that are UNDERPRICED for their value!

Review: These aren't really foldable headphones...just over-the-ear types. I will say that the sound quality from these is pretty nice for running, the gym, etc., but not if you want to drown out noise on an airplane or subway. Also, they fit very well over the ear, but some people may have a little trouble the first time they put them on, as the new clips are like eyeglass arms, but tighter.

Overall, Koss has delivered yet another quality product. I've purchased nothing but Koss headphones (except for those free buds that come with most everything nowadays), and will continue with their products in the future.
