I was wondering if the Yuin PK3 were better then KSC 75 sound quality wise. Also are there any other worthy contenders in the $40 or less price range.

The PK3 bass extends a bit deeper than the KSC75's, and they're about similar in punchiness. KSC75's have a bit more clarity across rest of the range, but perhaps a bit too sparkly for some people's taste. It's kind of like PK3 vs PK2 (which KSC75 somewhat resembles). Either are a fine choice, really, and it'll mainly come down to if the user prefers buds or clip-ons.

Ksc-75 + 75 ohm adaptor > pk3

earbud > clip-on

Since I legitimately own both, I'll say that KSC75 wins overall; it's a good notch or so above the PK3 in clarity last I thought about it.

However, if your ear canal opening is large enough to have the PK3 facing straight into your ear, then the real fun of it starts; the fun thumping bass really comes into play.

In the end, I bought the PK3 so I wouldn't look like a goof around college, and it does its job well. $40 well spent.

I have both and prefer the PK3.

I prefer the KSC-75s in terms of sq because it has that extra sparkle(?) in the highs and it seems like it has a little more detail but like others have said, they look weird and they're not the best for portable use compared to the PK3s. Overall, I like the PK3s better, but that's just because with my listening habits, I can use them more often.

hmm, i've been thinkin of upgrading my ksc75 to PK3's for awhile now. Looks like this help made my decision. Gonna set out an order for a pair of PK3s
