Koss KSC 75
We've always loved the long-running Koss KSC series; they simply sound great for the money. The Koss KSC-75 is a 'clip-on' style headphone for applications where a regular headband headphone just won't cut it. Whether it's Mom not wanting to muss her hair, an active skateboarder or biker wearing a helmet, or maybe you just wear cool hats, these little headphones won't fail to surprise with an amazingly clear, rich listening experience at a true bargain price.

Applications:
The sound quality is quite impressive and the wearing comfort is too on the handy-dandy 'clip-on' style, highly portable Koss KSC-75 earphones. We've been recommending this KSC line from Koss for nearly 20 years now, and they've always been the very best-sounding things available on the market at the extreme lower tier of the price scale. The Koss KSC-75 clip-ons are perfect for the extra-active listener needing an inexpensive pair of headphones that you won't have to worry about sweating up at the gym, fitting under your sport helmet or using with that groovy skullcap. And since the open-back earpieces won't completely seal the ear, city dwellers can maintain needed situational awareness for deftly dodging traffic on their latest multi-wheeled aggro-toy or metropolitan transportation of choice.
With silver plastic spaceship earpieces and frost-clear ear clips that look rather like 1950s wire-rims, these headphones -- like most other 'ear-clip' category of headphones -- are rather unique-looking and may perhaps feel a bit weird on a few extra-sensitive earlobes; for some listeners, they'll take a bit of acclimation time to get feeling comfortable. The Koss KSC-75 come with a short mobility-oriented 4ft headphone cable terminated in an 'easy-on-the-jack' 90-degree [right-angled] 1/8" (3.5mm) mini plug ideal for iPod, iPad, iPhone, laptops and MP3 players. That standard Koss limited lifetime warranty sure is extra-sweet; if they break, Koss fixes or replaces for life so remember to keep our '100% authorized Koss dealer' HeadRoom purchase receipt just in case you ever need it!

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Sound (for price), convenience, sharp looks
Cons: Clips are annoying, but a necessary evil
As an aside, most clips tend not to sound too great because they don't get a good fit on the ears. However, these hold quite tight. The speakers r good, too. Which why the sound is such a surprise.
As a second aside, they do let in outside noise, so you have to turn them up at the gym because of the ambient background. I've used "in ear" plugs in the past. They keep the sound out, but the plugs started irritating my ear canal.
Comfort: Not as comfy as a regular headband. But the lightweight and excellent earpads help make up for being clips. They are more difficult to get on then regular headbands
Looks: Cool -- Feel, see above.

Recommend Product: No
Pros: Over ear design, cheap price
Cons: Cheap wiring, get caught on EVERYTHING
I knew pretty quickly that the speaker wires would fail from me tugging on them as they get caught on something. Both pairs I've had lasted about four months before breaking. The KOSS 75s are more hassle than they are worth so I am going back to ear buds.
