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
- Sound

Contra
- For me: uncomfortable behind-the-ear headband
Functions
Pro
- Robust
- Removable ear hook
Contra
- Somewhat uncomfortable
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
Good sound quality, poor workmanship
Pro
- Sound quality is top
Contra
- The thing is so badly built that it broke on the 2nd day
Are ok
I use my Koss KSC 75s with my VR headset. Unfortunately, the sound is not really good - there is almost no bass. Also, the left side is quieter than the right, no matter which device I connect the earphones to. For 40 Fr and with such good reviews, I would have expected more.
Pro
- Easy
- Long cable
- Hold well on the ear
Contra
- Sound is not great
- Need long to put on
- Plastic, but that is obvious from the pictures.
Unbeatable price/performance ratio
Super sound - it can easily compete with models in a completely different price range. Absolutely recommended - buy and be amazed.
Pro
- Super sound
- Comfortable to wear
Contra
- Workmanship seems cheap (but at this price that is understandable)
THE VERY BEST PIECE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT.... I SWEAR BY IT
I suddenly had tears in my eyes when I, too, was finally allowed to hear the whole range of music ... it is a real joy... it is simply wonderful. Forget all the headphones you've ever had and get this thing. If you don't believe me, believe "crinacle" (source: https://youtu.be/gOYRu6q8qJ...). I am sure that the "audiophiles" out there will only have a weary smile left for me and my cheering for this part because it can certainly be much better (but also expensive). But hey, that's my announcement, that's my statement for you out there. Get it and listen to it like you've never heard it before!

Unbeatable for the price
Pro

- Much better than the price suggests.suggests
- Gorgeous mids
Contra
- Early bass roll-off (which doesn't bother me though)
Sounds good!
Sounds even a little airier than the very good Koss Porta Pro!
But it is a pure stereo headphones, no microphone present, as (initially) stated under specifications.
Unfortunately, my copy showed a cable break after a few months of moderate use, but this never happened with my previous Koss products.Pro
- Sound
- compact
- light and comfortable
Contra
- NO microphone
