That's a lie and you know it. Aliexpress is the worst site connected to this website for losing money.

Some of us have had better luck with Aliexpress than you

Using my newly acquired FiiO X1, I compared my KSC75's with a set of the JVC flats (HA-S160) last night....and, to my surprise,  I preferred the JVC.  Better treble was the main thing I noticed and liked.

I'll do some more comparing this weekend, using diffferent styles of music.

I'm very impressed with my Flats. I prefer the KSC75 overall (slightly better balance and bigger soundstage) but at about a third of the price in the UK (£7) the Flats are great value. Good build quality, too, and they look lovely in red!

I don't understand why you're so condescending. 

These earphones' pads use poor material and don't last, which is fine to me since they're cheap. I don't want to throw good money after bad so I'm not going to bother with replacement pads. I'll move on to a different pair of earphones that work better for me.

I hope you're willing to accept people value things differently and not everyone thinks as you do. 

So what if the pads cost a few bucks.What the 75s can do make it worth it in the long run!

For any Canadians out there, these are on sale for $17 at london drugs.

I'm tempted to buy a pair of closed pads for the 75's to see how they sound and isolate.

 

[Happytalk]

I've done that. Didn't like it very much. Very strange. They won't isolate until the backs are closed. What I did like lot was how they sounded while wearing them under a hood, which made them semi open, I guess.

ok thanks you just saved me a few bucks!

Maybe just experiment with closing the backs somehow for now. I have thought about it, but haven't had a chance

Its not that they are made from poor material but breaking down over time is a characteristic of the material that is an industry standard for this type of headphone. Anything else will be more expensive and change the sound quality. I would however like to see some semi-isolating pads that are more durable. I tried some fake leather ones and the mids became to prominent and the highs just got lost.

I notice that the KSC75s don't leak a lot of sound, but the Portapro's do. Would the KSC35's drivers by themselves leak not a lot of sounds either?
