I searched the web and I can't find a comparision between these 2. I have KSC75 and they sound great but OMX52 look much cooler and are closed so I am thinking of buying them.

These graphs are the only comparison I have

Unfourtunately I can't read Japanese.

Does anyone here have OMX52? How they sound and what is the bass like compared to KSC75?

Thanks

The OMX52 have problems with the clip that keep the drivers somewhat far from the ear. They sound tinny and bass-lite in comparison to the KSC-75 because of this distance. Had the clip mechanism been tighter and more thoughtfully designed, it would be a decent alternative. I doubt you will find it satisfying unless you have ridiculously, offensively large ears.

Do you know if they isolate better than KSC75?

Well I don't have large ears but I still want to try them for some reason. I think they look good.

So basically if you want good clip-ons you have very few choices. Its either KSC75 or one of those expensive Audio Technicas. I'm kinda disappointed

The OMX52 has a 2/5 rating on Amazon.com...

I don't think there is much hope for it...

Yep its true. I've had them for about a week and they sound awful compared to KSC75 in every aspect. Even if you push them to your ears the sound only improves slightly. They still sound crap.

Style/Design: 5/5
Sound: 1/5

Koss is still the king.
