Holy cow! That's what I felt, too. E4c has so much isolation that anyone could sneak up on me. I couldn't hear the phone ring - good thing it flashes red!
KSC-75 vs. E4c in a nutshell
Bass: More in the KSC-75, but it is relatively muddy. E4c has tighter bass that you can hear, but you can feel the bass in the KSC-75s.
Mids: No comparison. E4c wins by knockout. Of course, that's their strongest point, wouldn't you say?
Highs: Edge to E4c for having clear and detailed highs. The highs on the KSC-75 are somewhat curtailed and less "crisp."
The KSC-75 vs. DT 770/80 Pro
Bass: is prominent in KSC-75s, but for me the DT 770 has tighter, less muddy bass.
Mids: Recessed in both, but the DT 770s offer a bit more detail - probably improve a lot amped.
Highs: DT 770 has much more prominent highs. High hats, cymbals, tambourine, etc. are all lacking on the KSC-75.
But when you think about it, we're comparing a $20 clip-on vs. $250/$300 IEM vs. $199 closed can. These KSC-75s are the best thing I've heard in the price range, and it kicks the crap out of EX-71s and MDR-V300s from Sony, and those things are $50 'phones.
