Actually the -50 is lighter in the bass, presumably because of the different enclosure (it's much more open, and it leaks more sound) and the fact that it doesn't clip on to the ear as snugly.

Because of the fit the the 35 has more bass than the 50. Whether that's good or bad is a matter of taste. I think the 35's bass is too boomy.

I found ONLY one place online where The HSC 35 can be bought for $36 ($50.34+ w/ s&h).

I can also get the 50's for $12.

So do the KSC 35's price of $50 JUSTIFY the price over the KSC 50's $12?

skyway, have you tried the KSC-35? They fit *MUCH* better than the KSC-50 and the Sony/Aiwa "clip-on" phones out there. I've actually played basketball with the KSC-35

I use the Koss KSC-55 which has the behind the neck band.

The KSC-55 definitely are snug; the only problem is that they're too snug for some people -- painfully so

Originally posted by TheeeChosenOne Are the Koss-50's better than the 35's. I hear they have better bass?

As others have said, the KSC-35 actually have a bit stronger bass, due to the fact that they fit more snugly.

As for the price, I posted above: find Mr. Tibb by using the search function -- he sells them for $25.
