In case anyone is interested, as of today Radio Shack has KSC-75's on sale for $15.00.

Yeah you are right...its advertised in the sunday paper. Looks like I will have to head on over and pick up a pair or two.

But it comes with the volume control, yuck!

Actually I was going to go to rat shack today to buy a pack of spare pads. For 10 bucks more, I guess I could get these, then use the pads off it, keep the clips for spares, and, uh, leave the rest in a pile. I dunno...

That volume control cable is just inviting itself to be replaced. For me it will be some decent recabling practice.

Having read some very complimentary things about these phones here, I have to say that they are surprisingly good. I go about town illegally driving with Ety 4 P's stuck in my ears and I thought I'd check these out at that el cheapo price, just to see what all the raves are about. They are extremely clean sounding and well balanced, not at all muddy. The detail is surprisingly good and they are enjoyable to listen to, so all the KSC 75 fans are certainly on to something. They definitely sound better amped rather than just running out of an Ipod (very nice out of my Go-Vibe 2), and at least for me, they are quite comfortable.

My friend got them for $13 on Amazon last week.

just splice out the volume slider and theyre just fine

I did that on my KTX Pro1. IMHO the volume slider does not affect the sound any, its just a little inconvenmient.

IMHO...

Got a pair of them here in england last week, no suprises that they are more expensive in pounds than the price is in dollars (ie more than double the price) and the sound on them is great, however the clip sheared off within a day and didnt go back in properly, making the headphones as good as useless

And they require that you have an audio device with a headphone jack! Yikes! What kind of twisted weirdos are they, anyhow!

Actually, that hated volume control comes in very handy when you encounter, and you will, a hissy amp in portable gear. I wouldn't toss it aside so cavalierly.

Just got back from the shack with em...they sound pretty good, i will let em warm up a bit though before I draw any conclusions. But for $16.15 after tax I am sure I won't be dissapointed.

$13.99 on amazon is a great deal too, too bad I didn't check that out. Oh well...a couple bucks more spent for instant gratification today.

I picked up two sets while I was at it. I figure I can always give them as gifts and play with them a little too.

Did you check to see how much the shipping is? Tain't free.. It's about $6.50 to ship 'em to my house.

I hate to say it, but the Shack's got 'em beat this time. Maybe getting rid of that liar CEO did the trick, ya think?

buy a pair from amazon to beat the shipping

You could order a cd with it to get the free shipping on an order over $25

or

3 months free Amazon Prime makes it free shipping for me...
Heck I think Amazon Prime is a pretty sweet deal even at $79 a year once the trial is up. I order stuff from amazon at least once a month...I would basically be paying ~$6.50 a month for unlimited 2 day shipping (as long as its not a marketplace vendor). Check it out.

I don't know which Amazon.com you guys are looking at, but mine isn't offering free shipping, $25 purchase or no.
