Love these
I ordered these because I love the KPH40s, and word was these were better still. The hype wasn't hype. It's the truth. I'm a lover of classical, folk, ambient, electronic, jazz and minimalist music. I lean heavily towards acoustic but not exclusively. A treble nut if you like, and I've heard a lot of buzz, hiss and squeal in my day. These don't do that. For very cheap earphones, these perform beautifully. I customised mine with a classic head band as my ears don't like having things clipped onto them. They're my favourite grab and go headset. I use them with my Hiby R4, Fiio BTR5 on my phone, my Steamdeck, my GBA, and sometimes even my A&K SR25. These outperform my Moondrop SSRs by a long way, and at a fraction of the cost. I can't really compare them to my over ear sets. They're too open for that, but they do far outperform their price bracket, and I believe several above that. They're on the flimsy side, but treat them with a bit of respect and they last well.
Great sound, best colorway, a decent mic, and the nostalgic retro look. It's perfe... Hmmm.. It's almostperfect.
Okay. We NEED a KSC75x-2, same colorway, same driver (of course), get rid of this slinky-dinky-kinky wire, add some freakin MMCX connections, and throw in a decent quality black (or midnight blue) cable. Mic would be nice too (maybe a bit better than one we got now), but I'd much much MUCH rather have the MMCX.
I'd happily buy another if ya'll did this, heck probably a few so I can gift them out, and I'd easily pay $35-$40 for them. C'mon I know yall can do this! We both know they'd sell like coffee on a Monday too.
Bonus: Partner with Yaxi and make an exclusive (or maybe temporarily exclusive) donut pad.
These are great though, just saying, 🎶 they could be better. 🎶
Basically, it's like the title says. If you get these expecting the best performance ever, you'll be disapointed, but that's not what they're for. They're cheap, lightweight, comfortable, and you don't have to be afraid of breaking them.
I love using mine when I go on runs in the morning. They allow me to be aware of my surroundings, but I still get great sound quality. Plus, there's none of the wind noise from a transparency mode.
I'm not a fan of the ear clips so I popped the drivers out and put them on the Porta Pro X headband.
The sound was a bit bright for me and the bass was a little lacking so I swapped the ear pads for Yaki pads and it was great at reducing the highs, while still maintaining the details and enhancing the lows. Originally, I had the Yaki pads on the Porta Pros but I didn't like the sound as it sounded muddier on the Porta Pros but it's perfect on the KSC75X.
The Yaki pads are very comfortable and overall this looks great! I pair it with the Aful Snowy White DAC/amp dongle and I prefer this setup over my HD6xx + SMSL SU-8 (DAC) + THX AAA 789 (Amp).
I'm going to pick up another KSC75X and put it on my KPH-40 headband.
I love these things man, I've bought 9 pairs over the years for myself and friends. I can't stand earbuds/IEMs, but sometimes big headphones are too cumbersome. These are the perfect middle ground. They sound great, and the play/pause button is super convenient on my iPod. The mic is good enough for voice calls, beats any laptop's builtin mics.

Crazy Value
Fantastic sound quality for the price. Good mids, tight bass. Treble is hot, but not too fatiguing.
Biggest issue with these is the ear clips, they are truly awful. Headband mode is required.
These destroy any budget iem on the market.

All Hype No Consistency?
I have been married to PortaPros ever since I got them, about 2 decades ago.
Hearing that the KSC75's were part of a 'holy trinity', was excited to try them as the form factor would not mess with my hair.
Good news, they're so low profile that they were hard to notice.
Bad news, the audio quality is rather mixed.
I'll be listening to some breakcore or jungle and they'll be doing amazing, switch to IDM and it goes cassette quality.
Get some nerdcore hip-hop going and all is well, switch over to some rock or metal and the drums sound like they're running at a sub-120kbps bitrate.
They're also pretty good with pretty much any voice.
Thought they just could not do high pitched percussion sounds, but they did fine w/ some of the sounds near those frequencies?
For 20USD back-ups they are a good purchase, but with its reputation: either I got a lemon or I'm getting punked.
