Agreed. Definately not as bassy as the ksc-75s.

i have no clue how loud the KSC-75's will go, but they go go louder than my ears with every source i've tried them with, including a 3G iPod. 110 db will cause hearing damage from prolonged exposure.

what earbuds are you looking at? the best earbuds are very inferior to the best headphones, but we aren't exactly looking at that range.
