These use a very similar driver to the KSC75. You really can't go wrong with any of the Koss 60ohm headphones.

The PX100's get a lot of love here too, and are a good choice if you don't like the idea of clip-ons.

If you use the search facility you will find loads of threads about them. If you don't mind the idea of Canalphones you may enjoy the JVC Marshmallows. Loads of threads on them too.

would the ksc35/75 driver fit into that housing? i really don't care for the ear clips.

yep, can't go wrong with Koss KSC75's or JVC Marhmallows.

The BKH3 is the same as the Koss KSC55 which, I believe, uses the same driver as the KSC35.

what kind of price range are u looking for? for their price, the shure e3c's have pretty decent sound quality. i must say that i honestly found their design a little uncomfortable / impractical in terms of in-ear fit. however, if you are willing to spend slightly more than that, i would STRONGLY recommend picking up a pair of ultimate ears super-fi.5 pros. i grabbed myself a pair of these little beauties about 3 months ago and i've never been happier with a pair of portable in-ear headphones. the sound quality is amazing, they fit well, and seal out an impressive amount of ambience noise. i'd recommend buying from ebay or something similar, as it is very easy to find good deals from powersellers etc. best of luck!

The KSC75 uses the Titanium version of the KSC35 driver, that is the only difference. However, the Ti gives the KSC75 more sparkle and a more untamed nature that most will find preferable for rock.

Ok, I just noticed that the KSC55/BKH3 do, in fact, use the titanium version of the Koss 60ohm driver. This means that they should sound very similar to the KSC75. All you need to worry about is the fit.

the problem i see with budget phones is their lack of detail compared to the more expensive phones.

you couldnt go wrong with the Senn HE90, VERY affordable.... lol.

anyway, koss ksc75s are well worth the money. cant go wrong for $15.
