Another great classic from Koss
Just about the only clip-on style audio product I'll ever consider. It's old school looking, but I don't care! I love it and it sounds great!

As almost everyone else have mentioned, the sound quality of these headphones is excellent for its price. I don't speak audiophile, but what I can attest is that it has beaten out headphones/earbuds several times its price in both sound quality and comfort.
However, as almost everyone have also mentioned, the cable is atrociously flimsy and weak. These headphones typically only last maybe 6-12 months for me before one or both sides stop outputting sound due to the cables breaking connection. However, the price-to-performance ratio is so good that you can get them replaced 5+ times - whether through Koss's warranty or new if you don't want to deal with return processes - and still get your money's worth.
The earclips of the KSC75X may be hit-or-miss for some people. I have a big head. Like, a Megamind-sized head (without the benefits of the mind). Because of this, almost every pair of overhead headphones fit too small and put pressure on the top and sides of my head. The earclips solve this issue for me. The earpads are thin, but soft and the on-ear style is a lot more gentle on your ear canals than traditional earbuds while still remaining cool on the ears. When they're on, they stay on. You can also hear your surroundings compared to earbuds, making them surprisingly great for running.
However, the clips, while adjustable, can put a lot of pressure on the top of the ear, which for some may be very uncomfortable for long sessions. Also, if you have more protruding ears, they might be difficult to fit and flop around (although they still stay on your ears). To solve this, I swapped out the padding for a pair from Yaxi. The larger size of the padding both stops the flopping and makes the headphones even more comfortable. Don't listen to the jargon about worse low-end and soundstage with the earclip, they still sound great.
If the clips sound like or are a miss for you, you'll be glad to hear that they're detachable. You can swap them out with either the headband of a $7 pair of headphones from Parts-Express or even the headband from the Koss PortaPros if/when the same flimsy cable used for those break as well (did I mention how bad the cable was yet?).
Despite the cable durability, it's hard for me to take away more than a star; everything else about them is just so good.

Buy them
My only complaint is resolution and detail retrieval. Soundstaging is the most natural out of my headphones and IEMs (58x, Grado sr60x, Arias, OH10s), and the tuning feels balanced and inoffensive. Some complain that there's a lack of sub bass, but while definitely pushed back, it's still present. Literally just buy 3 pairs of these.

IMPOSSIBLE
Sitting on a parts express w/YAXI pads, these bad boys rival my Sennheiser HD599se. Wich makes absolutely zero sense.

Better than EarPods
I’m not gonna say they sound like $100 headphones and yet probably $50 ones.
