In the office I always ended up using my KSC75 because:
 
- it is comfortable for prolong wear  (and I have glasses)
- it does not block out sound (I like to hear what's going on)
- I can wear just one side (again, when I have to talk to people)
- most importantly, it sounds good, esp for a $20 headphone
 
But after years of use, mine has developed some problems. Since I am a Mac user, I do like to have the iPhone controls (volume+track), but I looked and looked and can't find any clip-on in the same price range and sound quality range that has iPhone controls. I also use the Sennheiser 680i, which I like but I just like the larger driver on the KSC.
 
I hope the collective knowledge of head-fi can help me find a possible replacement?
 
Thanks,
P.K.

You can get you an iPhone control adaptor like this:

The possible problem with the inline control adapter is that
- the control is in the wrong end of the cable, and
- possibly the mic is not as good (not a big deal)
 
I do have old apple ebuds that I will rewire if I can't find anything else. If I do that I want to make a 3.5 jack/plug inline connection so that I can reuse my home made adapter at that point.
