Aside from the Koss 35/50/55/sporta/porta

what about the KSC-5, that grip onto your ear and the ear piece hangs in place? Are they comfortable, how is the sound quality?

KSC-15
KSC-19
KSC-10


So any input? They all look like the style i want, plus I've seen them around in local stores, the famous 35 would have to be ordered online which is a hassle and more expensive.

melancholypunk,

The Koss KSC-10 and KSC-15 are Koss' version of the el-cheapo "Street Style" headphones. They sell (in the U.S.) for $10 and $15, respectively, and though they're not among Koss' better-sounding headphones, they're still better IMHO than those overpriced Sony Street Style headphones. But they don't offer enough improvements in performance to justify paying any extra money for.

The KSC-5 and the KSC-19 are earbuds with clips on them. They sound better than most of the cheap earbuds, though the current/newer Sennheiser MX-### earbud line still whoops those Koss earbudclips.

I think I'd like to get a pair that clip onto your ear, but are the earpiece only (instead of the pad that rests on your ear).

KSC-19, KSC-5.

Can you describe the sound? Bass/treble/mids....etc and if possible compare them to other brands.

are Sennheiser MX series the kind that clip around your ear?

Thanks for the info.

I think the Koss KSC-5 and KSC-19 are the ONLY earbuds that have clips on them. All of the other earbuds (other than the "vertical" headband-mounted ones) that I've seen - including the Senn MX's - have no clips at all.

right now i have ex70's, sound good but hurt my ears.

I think a problem with those will be a complete lack of bass. You get the bass from earphones because they are in your ear, if they are resting just outside i dont think you will get the OOMPH with the music.
