I lend my parents some money and instead of getting that back, I thought of getting a ksc75 of them.
So when looking into amazon.de (yep it's the german site, since I live in the Netherlands, not even sure if they ship to my house..) I found two ksc75s.

http://www.amazon.de/Koss-155540-KSC...8441819&sr=8-1
which is like 14EU.

http://www.amazon.de/Hama-Koss-KSC-7...551803-8412027
and this one of 20EU, also this one is called the Hama ksc75 I think.

Then, going to the amazon.com site if find these:
http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00008Z...pf_rd_i=507846


Can somebody tell me what the differences are? I just want the ones everybody here at head-fi uses to mod.

Amazon often has multiple listings for the same product. Both of these are the same, it appears. FYI - the only difference with any KSC75 is whether it comes with an inline volume control. Typically, the volume control version is the one that's sold in Radio Shack's in the states. Although, it seems that version is showing up elsewhere, too.

This is not a KSC75. It's a KSC7. Don't buy it. Maybe confusing, but no different than HD600 vs. HD650 or AKG 501 vs. AKG 701. All are very different headphones with only a small difference in model #. In Koss's case, however, these aren't worth buying anyway.

As already mentioned, the only variance in a KSC75 is whether it has an inline volume control. Amazon confuses this somewhat because more often than not, they have multiple listings for the very same item.

k thanks alot!

I didnt even see the ksc7s, thought they were just 75s. I'll just get the cheapest one then!

Because there are 2 ksc75s listed on the amazon site, I think the Koss' ones are the OEM and the other are distributed by other companies in this case Hama.

I don't read German but on the first is written

Verfügbarkeit: Auf Lager. Verkauf und Versand durch COMPULAND.

and on the second is written

Verfügbarkeit: Auf Lager. Verkauf und Versand durch your-pod.

So amazon don't really have them they just list them for third party seller.
Compuland and your-pod are the actual seller that provide image and info.
Amazon only provide the listing the phones come from Compuland or your-pod

Lager is the german word for store and it's true amazon list them on their site.

But I was talking about the different versions of the kscs. As you can see, here:
http://www.amazon.de/Koss-155540-KSC...8441819&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.de/Hama-Koss-KSC-7...551803-8412027

you see:
Koss KSC 75 Kopfhörer
von Hama

and in the other advertisement you see:
Koss KSC 75
von Koss

So I think the latter is a Koss OEM and the Hama, which is a company is a second party seller using amazon.de

Hama is a huge german distributor for anything under the sun, no audio specialist.
The headphones are the same, just pick the cheaper offer.

As you don't list your location … Last time I was there, MediaMarkt next to the Ajax stadium carries them for I believe €20.

I live in Zuidlaarderveen, that's near Groningen (only 20km) which also has a big Mediamarkt. And I believe every Mediamarkt is the same, but thanks I'll check it out!

Well, no. They don't carry them in Zoetermeer or The Hague for starters.

I hope you get lucky!
