Unbeatable for the price
I like the sound of the Ksc even better than that of the Galaxy Buds +
Pro
- Favourable
- Sits comfortably on the ear
- In my opinion good workmanship
Contra
- For me the cable (1.2m) too short
High-quality spare parts dispenser at an unbeatable price
I have a lot of headphones, but the ones I listen to the most are the drivers (mini loudspeakers) I took from the KSC 75. They sound very good, outstanding for the price!
Back story: After years of optimising my headphones for cycling, I ended up with the iGrado headphones from Grado, modified for one-sided cable routing and with the Grado SR60 foam ear pads, which are far too large, as the perfect wind absorber. This combo was expensive. And vulnerable. Over the years, more than 6 individual iGrado speakers have broken in the cold of winter (and possibly because of my sweat). I have always bought new ones. You can no longer get the iGrado, only occasion or new fake ones (they sound terrible!).
About the KSC: I ordered the KSC more as a headphone spinner to try them out, because they were supposed to be great value for money (23 CHF). The KSC headband is unusable for me on the bike. The earpieces stick out too far from the head and cause even more wind noise, and the fit is not stable in my opinion. More by chance, because another iGrado speaker change was due, I wanted to see if I could still use the otherwise useless KSC. To my amazement, the earphones fit completely and extremely accurately into the housing of the iGrado earphones. So I was able to repair my iGrados cheaply. And they have now lasted 1.5 years, soon 2 winters (1 year =~ 250h driving). The sound is almost as good as that of the iGrados.
You can also combine them differently: there are the PortaPro and the SportaPro and third party headbands, among which the speakers should all be interchangeable without tools, and the KSC75 are considered the highest quality of the family.
About bike/headphones: I often drive a car myself, so I know how dangerous it is for bikes and cars to come together. My optimised headphones let all noises through and also absorb the wind!Pro

Convenient for audio books before going to sleep
I like to listen to audio books before going to sleep. They're ideal for that.
Pro
- No charging
- Comfortable seat when falling asleep
very interesting product
I use this headset with VR quest and PS VR2 headsets to get better quality, without the 'mechanical' problems of traditional headsets with an arch on top - which clash with the armatures of VR headsets.
The quality is superb and the comfort is just fine. Wearing glasses, the 'behind the ear' attachment isn't always 100% comfortable, but it's reasonable. And then you have to know what you want, if you don't want an arch over the top, they have to attach somewhere.
I highly recommend it to all VR users.Pro
- quality
- practical for VR headsets
Contra
- discomfort
Very good
Their audio quality is inversely proportional to their beauty.
I have never seen something so ugly and so high-performance at the same time. It is a plasticone that is terrible to the eye but magical to the ear.Pro
- excellent audio quality
Contra
- ugly as hunger
