Koss KSC75 headphones

Bought them. Clips kept falling off. After 3 days one disappeared. Cheap .
I have seen others with the same complaint.
Clips fell off and were lost. No replacement clips available. Not worth a nickel unless you want to hold them next to your ears.
Value for your $14...

I needed a replacement for the default iPod phones. (Which, by the way, was not a smart move on Apple's part. You're selling a $300 product for audiophiles, the least you can do is throw in headphones that are worth more than $3.) After about a week, I picked Koss' KSC75.
I read reviews before I purchased this that this set is on par with $100 headphones. I'm not sure if I agree with that generous an estimate... they probably couldn't match up to $100 noise-cancelling Sonys or similarly priced behind-the-ear Bose phones.
But if you're on a budget, and you like behind the ear headphones - you really have only three choices - Panasonic's hs48k for less than 10 dollars (or the similar hs52), Sony's q22lp for 16-18 dollars, and these Koss pads for about $15. I picked the Koss, and I'm glad I did.
The bass is better than anything I've heard on any headphones I can remember wearing. It's a deep reverberation only a few light years away from a $500 Logitech 5.1 surround system, and that's really saying something. Listening to Linkin Park and Jay-Z's Numb/Encore, and Eminem's Sing for the Moment, I couldn't believe the sound quality. Ditto for the other side of the spectrum - Sinatra's Over the Rainbow.
The fit is also really good. Possibly a little too big, but it still feels somewhat snug. If you're in a hurry, you can still fit it on quickly and have it stay on for a rapid walk (but not for a run). If you spend a few seconds securing it right, it's great for vigorous exercise.
The cord's comfortably long - quite right. Can't complain.
For the narcissists such as myself: it does look fairly cool. It's not white as depicted in the snaps online. It's a deep metallic gray, and does look appealing. It's not the coolest looking pair of headphones I've seen; but it's more than good enough in that respect. Besides, looks was not my primary consideration in this purchase.
I'm throwing my iPod headphones in the trash right now.
