Amazon.com Product Description:
Enjoy rich, accurate sound through your portable CD or MP3 player using the Koss KSC75 on-the-go headphones. Designed for people who want a lightweight listening solution without sacrificing audio quality, the phones employ a pair of sport clips to fit neatly around each ear, thus eliminating the constraints of conventional headbands. As a result, listeners can wear the phones–which weigh a mere 1.5 ounces–without disturbing their carefully coifed hairdos. When not in use, the headphones store compactly in a backpack or purse without taking up unnecessary space. Meanwhile, the phones produce terrific sound through their titanium-coated high-polymer drivers, which are built for maximum precision, as are the bass-boosting neodymium iron boron magnets. Their combined efforts generate a noteworthy 15 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response. Additional features include oxygen-free copper voice coils within the cord that protect the signal clarity; a straight, dual-entry 4-foot cable; and a 3.5 mm plug.

Customer Reviews
Great for the gym by Paul Blackender
These things are awesome for the gym or any other place where you want comfort and the ability to hear outside noise if needed. The sound is very good from them and they don’t drag down on your head or chest while running, lifing, biking, etc.
They are definitely not noise cancelling, but they do the trick. I’ve been after some decent clip ons for a while, and these definitely fit the bill. I recommend them for anyone who wants to use them while being active.
Good by Michael Chamberlin
I like the sound. They are secure on the ears. But the rubberized cords tangle easily.
Ear-Clips keep falling off headphone by robertblue
I’ve sent them back 2x now. The ear-clips easily snap on to the headphones and they just as easily snap off and then you loose them while putting them in messenger bags or pockets. Very bad engineering. Sound is OK but not as good as many here seem to be describing. I called koss and the woman said she didn’t get calls about the clips falling off and getting lost but I really find that hard to believe as they come off so eaily.
Used for running by Michael R. Stoller Jr.
I have no background for the detailed analysis of sound quality with these — my experience simply allows me to say the sound was fine, as expected, and not an overall issue with regard to my enjoyment of these. I will confess that my version may have been something other than the KSC75’s — but for the purposes of my review the internal components are moot.
What I am searching for is the perfect headphone for running. From the perspective of functionality toward this pursuit, I think these are average to good.
First, the independent nature by which these are connected is a plus. No hard plastic connector between the two earphones that adds weight or assumes that every one has the same size head — Nike is awful at this, as they seemingly assume every runner has the head of a 5′4″ woman. I also prefer the over-the-ear style as ear buds never stay put after 45 minutes and you have a good sweat going. I don’t need music to carry me through a 30 minute workout — it’s the 15 mile runs in preparation for a long race where I want my music, and if I can’t hear it after 4 or 5 miles it makes the whole routine even worse. The plastic clips for these were fine. I won’t say overly comfortable –perhaps a rubber version would be better — but they did not cause any irritation or discomfort — the real key.
The cord is a little short if you use with an iPod on a treadmill and you set the iPod on the shelf or in the treadmill bin. If it’s strapped to your body or in some pocket of clothing, it was fine for me, and I’m a little over 6 ft tall.
Unfortunatley, these headphones are now suffering the same fate as all headphones eventually do… moisture and sweat are creating inconsistent audio and I fear they are on their last couple of runs. I have rotated headphones, but can estimate that these lasted about a year perhaps — maybe a little less. I admit I am not hyper vigilant at cleaning or drying them off after workouts, so if you’re better at that discipline they might last longer for you.
It’s a matter of reconciling yourself to the idea these are disposable — and given the testimony on the audio from others, I would buy these again.
