Hi guys,

I recently bought the Koss KSC75 headphones, and I'm loving the audio quality (much better than my generic iPod ones).

The reason I'm posting is because I'm not sure how well these headphones are supposed to sit on your ear.

They're very comfy, don't hurt my ears after long periods of use, but I noticed if I shake my head, they'll just come off.

Is there anyway I can/should bend the clips to make them stay on? I don't want to risk distorting the clips or breaking them.

I've pulled the clips off once to see how they attach, put them back just fine.

Is it normal for these headphones to come off so easily with motion? If so, I'll refrain from taking them with me when I go running.

Thanks.

The clips are designed to be bendable to fit your ears.
Don't worry they won't break

Detach the clip from the driver and adjust it. You'll get the hang of it eventually.

I had 3 sets so far and they all broke. is there any other earphone with the same kind of design/style for around 100$ that are better and more sturdy?

I know of no other headphones worth buying that use ear clips. You could buy a cheap headband from partsexpress.com and replace the ear clips so it will stay on your head better. If you want to buy $100 headphones, what style are you wanting - with a headband?

I don't want a headband I want something similar to the ksc75 or http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content...1/imgp4951.JPG (just style wise these earphones are horrible)
I can go up to 100$ since I'm already spending over 200$ for full size headphones

Based on what I've read, I would consider an Audio-Technica ATH-CM700 (earbud on eBay) for under $70 or a Yuin (IEM) within your price range. You might be better off starting a thread asking for the best IEM or earbud for around $100.

They do feel a bit flimsy, (expected better from these). The piece that connects the unit to the clip is wobbly (which I suppose it has to be).

Great audio though, best value audio for the price I reckon.

Only problems I have with it are: storage and fragility.

I really dislike IEM and earbuds they just hurt my ears and are uncomfortable oh well guess i'll buy my 4th pair of koss ksc75. doriya I completely agree with you.

I had my KSC75 for 4 days and they broke after I read you can bend it. It was uncomfortable for me to wear so I tried bending the clips and broke it.

i've bend mine several times, even for accident when in my pocket, how much did you bend yours?

 

[matryx]

you could try the iGrado, or if you like the Koss sound check out the Sportapro and Portapro.
