I bought these after reading so many positive reviews and I must say it's disappointment for me.
I tried them on Lenovo X3A40, Xonar ST and Xonar ST + Dispre v4. Many people says they are balanced with nice voals, highs and not so good bass. Well bass is ok for me. Not too much bass like Porta Pro (which I own too). Mids are slightly behind bass and trebles in compare of my AKG 701, Yuin PK1 and PK2, Ety ER6i, Hifiman RE-0. Highs are there for sure. They are sparkling but it sounds soooo rattling. Specially percussions, cymbals. Highs are worst part on these headphones for me and I like trebles. I like lot of trebles, I like sparkling trebles or even agressive trebles are not big problem for me but those from KSC75 are just ... yuck. Wierd thing is they sound good in rock music but are horrible in electronic music or classic music. Vocals sounds like placed into higher frequencies but overall they are nice. Soundstage is not big but separation is OK. I don't like sibilance on KSC75. For so cheap headphones KSC has a lot of details. Also balanced sound is not what I imagine when I'm listening KSC75. Isolation is bad but that's no surprise. Guitars sound nice in KSC75. Porta Pro has more energetic sound, more enjoyable except those bass.
Overall KSC75 are fine headphones but not for me. I like smooth detailed sound like PK1. These sounds more like PK2 with rattling highs, much smaller soundstage but better bottom mids.
I was listening to Faithless, Redhots, Dire straits, Lenka, Die Antwoord, MDK soundtrack, Fatboy slim, Daft punk and something more from Tidal after 12-15 hours burning.
PS: graphs about Audio Quality, Comfort, Design and Value are not like I set so don't look on them.

The Rattling noise, did you see if there are any hairs that might have got inside and are touching the drivers? Might be worth it to blow on them and see if it helps.
Also, have you heard of the head-band mod. For me it is the only way I can wear the KSC75. You can pick one up on Amazon for $6 if you have prime: www.amazon.com/dp/B0002KQZJS
