I have PX100 and my dad wants a new pair of headphones.

He likes the look of the white Koss KSC75 clip on style.

Now I have never heard Koss cans before. How do they fair against my PX100 (white)?

He listens to all sorts of stuff and they will be used with a Nano.

Are they any good ?

The PX100's have a much darker sound than the KSC75's. Also, many people find earclips to be annoying (I don't however).

Agreed. The earclips of the Koss KSC75 aren't particularly annoying. They are however a bit loose fitting.

I hate ear clips. I think most people prefer a band they just stick over the head. They're both good for the cost but I'd get the ones you think he'd be more comfortable wearing.

KSC75 easily beat the PX100 for me in SQ,comfort was equal. PX100 was too dark as noted above, HF sounded muted but had nice bass and mids.

The new version PX-100 really isn't that dark. I kinda wish people would stop basing their current recommendations on what the previous version sounded like. And besides, you already have it, so I would hope you know what it sounds like.

If your dad likes the clip-on style, then go for the KSC75 - they do actually sound really good. I don't like clip-ons, which is part of the reason I prefer the PX-100. I have compared the two, and sound-wise, I think the PX-100 is superior (I'd say it has a somewhat 'richer' sound), but it's probably not worth twice the cost just for that.

So yeah, if he thinks he'll like the clip-ons, he should just go for the KSC75.

The old PX100 is a dark & undetailled piece of crap, the KSC75 sound much better. However, the new & brighter PX100 is much better than the old version, I like it even (slightly) better than all the 60 Ohm Koss creatures. Recommended.
