I've been away from the forums for a minute. So...is it?

 

[kite7]

Definitely, how can it be beat for less than $20?

 

[Gurra1980]

Yes

 

[blinx]

I'd say yes. Recable and kramer them and pair them with a good source/amp and you got yourself a pretty nice sounding headphone

 

[Advil]

will someone take money to kramer mine?

 

[bperboy]

Yes, my cans of choice for portable. The clips do hurt a little bit though, but they stay on much better than my px100s.

KSC75 is definitely still the king of budget phones.

The headband mod makes them a bit better, IMO... less tangling!

Not sure if I like them better with the band or not. They're more distinct with the them on but sometimes, I think of switching to the clips to get some of their airiness back. The only reason why I didn't do so is pure laziness.

 

[lmilhan]

Yes.

 

[qazwsx]

Yes, haven't heard anything topping them yet.

Dunno about topping them precisely, but for $6 at any BigLots you can get the Coby CV130.

They require trivial modding. You have to take off the earpad, remove the foam ring from around the face of the driver, and put the earpad back on. Then wear them low and a bit back on your ear.

They don't have the ksc75 bass, but you'd be surprised how good they sound for six bucks.

They also have single-sided entry (right side for some reason) and an inline volume control and stereo/mono switch.

Try 'em - what do you have to lose? Six bucks? Get some ill-conceived specialty crackers and off-brand beverages while you're there.

Are the Cobys earring style...err...I meant clip ons like the KSC-75s?

 

[CAvanessia]

the KSC75s will not be better than higher end headphones, but what is the maximum potential of these ksc75s?

suppose we have an imod and a good amp.

mine are recabled and kramer modded. they are very good, but i'm thinking about upgrading to alessandro MS-1's.

 

[That dude]

Nope.
Only the modded ones are.

Nope. Headband w/ about 120 degrees of swivle in the earcup so the lay flat.

Edit: They are advertised with "superbass" - the mod i describe removes the "superbass" "feature", and cleans up the mids and highs at the same time.
