*meant to say KSC 75 (not 35) - Just wondering if there are any really cheap earbuds or clip ons or even headphones that are enjoyeable to listen to but CHEAP?

I'm thoroughly enjoying my SoundMAGIC P10 foldable full-sized (but small) headphones. Less than $24, shipped, from MP4nation.com...

Here's my review. I think they're even better now, so I go back on what I said about them not benefiting much from burn-in.

Thanks top pop for the link. I will check those out.

I edited my orignal post. I meant to put "KSC 75" and not 35. I did own the 75s before they were discontinued. I enjoyed the sound but they are discontinued. I modded them and then eventually destroyed them with further mods.

Canman - I like the KSC 35s slightly better than the 75s as well.

how do you know they are discontinued? I saw them at a radioshack like a week ago.

Koss KSC75's Discontinued - 3 years ago and only recently has radio shack discontinued. At least at the two of them where I looked.

*update* - thanks Xan7hos - I didn't know they were still available new.

I made sure I had enough koss 60ohm drivers to last a lifetime. With 15+ pairs. I made sure I had at least 4 pairs of non titanium coated drivers(4 pairs of ford Mac/5 and 2 pairs of r/10 and a pair of portapro). Yes I know there is a lifetime warranty but what if they get stolen/lost or given away.

I like the koss 60ohm non coated driver better. It's less detailed/treb ,but the warm mids won me over.

They'll probably come out with a new line of koss 60ohm clip on in the coming decade.

I still haven't tried 75 ohm resistors with non titanium koss, but since I had more titanium koss than non titanium I added an 75 ohm resistor to the inline volume pod of an ksc75 it really tames the bass.
