Just came back from japan, glad to see there is a KSC75 fan club. To date I have 5 sets bought, 2 given away and the rest are in office and home. I have the other porta/sportapro family as well, they are not bad also (a bit tad heavy on bass compare to KSC75).
Of course other more expensive headphone sounds better (ATH-ESW9, AKG K701) but for the price, KSC75 is a steal for the quality. I would immediately recommend it. Always nice to see those reaction for those first timer (like reaction from Britain Got Talent - Susan Boyle).
The only thing that it is not good at is isolation. It is useless out in noisy place or in library, else in room like environment KSC75 shines.

QUOTE(The Apprentice @ Jun 17 2009, 07:32 AM) After burning in for around 48 hours... i feel lack of bass? I am a basshead? If you want more bass then do try out the other Koss family, ProtaPro or SportaPro. Both are using the older version of the drivers (not titanium coat) which gives out more bass but less a bit on the highs. They are still good though, I often switch between KSC75 and PortaPro. |

I wouldn't mine getting another pair if it is reasonably priced although I already have 3 pair. They make a great gifts/recommendation for those getting into headphones and on budget.

QUOTE(PcWork @ Jan 19 2010, 10:50 PM) basically all ppl who ask me to recable is wait for almost 1 month one. some even longer.
i can't do it so fast.. else susah
i really pay attention to make sure the braid is smooth enough. so that both side is equally same length. and the cable itself oso same length.
if i simply braid. although i use same length cable to braid. both side will end up different length due to different tightness of the braid.
and soldering it to the driver is quite high risk, stock ksc75 currently has lower and lower built quality. i did has one that the electronic board didn't glue properlly on the headphone and it drop out. only voice coil holding it. so dangerous. almost kill the driver
so i have to slowly move it back to the postiion and glue it with super glue.
i won't want to send the headphone to ppl and then got complain.
lol Wah superb workmanship hehe... really glad I got mine also and so far really loving it  . People always said why so cheapo looking clipons paired with ganas amp and modded, after they listen to it they stand there eyes wide open hahahaha. Just got some tiny microfonic that can't be help though since the cable is thicker (recabled ver.) now so if cable kena jacket zip will carry to clipon also.

QUOTE(Sieg @ Jan 20 2010, 11:38 AM) Mmm, more to think of  you try wearing a KSC75 outdoor or in a train. See if you can hear the music or not  No way hahahah... Porta Pro might do well a bit but still LRT too noisy. 75's or any open earphone/headphone only can shine on quite place [^ ^] |

QUOTE(ArianneG @ Jan 22 2010, 10:29 PM) Hmm. Question to those using PcWork's recabled KSC75: When you're carrying it around in your bag, do you put it in any special carrier? I recently noticed that the cables on my pair recently are a little-- how to describe it?-- chipped? cracked? Like fine stress marks or something here and there. Especially on the bends (I coiled the cables loosely before dumping the headphones into a pocket in my bag). There are tiny little notches on the cables, like something with sharp edges has been pressing hard into them (unlikely-- I usually keep my headphones in a pocket of my bag on their own, and there's nothing sharp that would press hard enough to leave marks on them in my bag anyway). I'm not worried that the cables will break or anything-- they are still sound, being pretty new; (about less than a year or so?) but I'd like to know what, if any extra measures of care in handling I should be taking. After all, I don't want PcWorks to have to go and redo his hard work again so fast.  I noticed that the cable is stiffer then the stock one and might form stress line if wrap it around so I just coil it very loosely and chuck them into a soft padded mesh casing with zipper. You can get one of those at any RM5/100yen shops like DAISO here. Here is what it look like when I coiled it and the case:  |

QUOTE(dlyz @ Jan 24 2010, 11:07 AM) btw, how long is the stock cable? hope it can reach my STX and still be long enuf to turn my head... lol... my cpu just beside me on the right... Looking at my stock now, it looks like about 1m+ not really long imo, probably going to need a 3.5mm cable extender to reach most setup other then portable. |

I wonder if there is any compatible headband to use with KSC-75 (pop out the clip and just pop in into headband) so it will become something like the KOSS PortaPro.
