I'm thinking of getting my brother some Koss KSC75 for use in the gym but I'm worried they may fall a off with active use?

I use mine when I'm on the treadmill and they have never fallen off. If you have a loose fit out of the package you can always bend the clips.

I never listen to music in the gym, but I think KSC75s should be fine.

I would personally prefer earbuds, maybe something like the Senn MX550.

My wife has used uses hers for the gym, but if yours is like ours it really doesn't work. With the jock-rock, weights clanging, and ocassional grunting: the ambient noise is too much, shes back with her ibuds. I use iems and they are perfect for this. The koss 'phones would be good for outdoor workouts, though, when true isolation is not needed. Good luck.

From my experience, if you are sitting/standing straight up then it's not a problem, but otherwise they might fall off your ears.

As much as I like the KSC75, they won't work for me on the nearby neighbourhood gym.

They play their own songs, so I'd go with semi-canals or IEMs.

If the gym's all quiet and such tho, go for the KSC75s, but don't let the music distract you

Works for me, no problems to report here (I run, lift, the whole 9).

Man they sure do get sweaty though

I'd say they work just fine, the sweat would be better for these rather than an IEM where they can get inside, really.. As long as you tighten the clips up a little, they've always worked fine for me.

 

[derek8555]

hmmm.. how do you tighten the clips up? I don't see how they are made to be bent. Mine keep falling when I lie down.

the ksc sem kinda loose, the px100 stay on my head nicely. Also the volume control on the ksc75 can be a pain when running, it feels like someone is tugging your cord. Px100 is my choice of gym use headphones.

#1 - That is why you get the one without the volume control on it.
#2 - Tighen the clip up by just bending it a little, works like a charm.

I personally would not be able to stand a big ol' sweatband (which it will become) on the top of my head while working out. But again, these are my opinions

#1: Problem kiddo: Koss doesnt produe anymore ksc75 w/o the volume control anymore. Maybe there's some out there but, they'll run out.
#2: px100 sounds better
#3: they dont even soak that much from the padding up there. Well its strange...my sweat doesnt travel up my hair and into the pads....My sweat goes down my face...

#4: Form someone who owns both, px100 are way better.

#1: Amazon has a giant stock of the ones without the volume control I've heard and bought a pair recently and it came without the volume control.
#2: I've tried the px100 and the KCS-75, personally, I like the sound of the KSC-75s better, although the px100s are very good as well, right up there with the KSC-75s IMO, just a different experience, that is all.
#3: I know that, silly, but I dont know, maybe its just me, but I don't really like the feeling of something constraining my head while working out.

I see where you are coming from and understand from your opinions, It's all your own preferences really, I don't mean to start a flame war over this.
