i believe ksc75 good for a first pair headphone... first pair cans will set the par for the taste since we tend to compare the sound signature with other cans later.... for me ksc75 is exceptionally good for its price vs performace ratio.... go for it...later upgrade abit by bit until you reach stax lol

i see.. for me ksc75 lack in comfort.. since the earclip really irritate me for long usage...it dun suit my style...
but different people different ear shape right? who knows it may be perfect for you

most of active noise cancellation feature is made specifically for airplane usage... it produce opposite soundwave that cancel inside plane noise ..so for room usage i think u will hear a bit distortion and sound quality will be impaired. i said go for close cans that cover your whole ear or opt for iem. iem have better isolation if it is your highest priority

most people getting iem is purposely more for portability and isolation..... so if u say any disadvantage compare to headphone..hard to compare..since headphone has larger driver and sound reproduction may become superior than iem..BUT NOT necessarily
try refer to how to find where to buy what thread here

i own pl-30 myself... but i dun really know how to compare those two..
so i lurk in the forum and found out about this...here...and do see the post #no.14 in the thread....
i guess it is an improvement for mylarone X3 ...but a very little one...
