Love these
I got these so I could safely listen to music and podcasts while bike commuting. At first my biggest complaint was that my phone doesn't have a headphone jack. I used a lightning port adapter for a bit but even the Apple branded one is unreliable e-waste. I bought a portable Bluetooth transceiver making them effectively wireless. They sound great for casual listening, are comfortable, and fit while I'm wearing a bike helmet. Now my biggest complaint is that my wife makes fun of me for the retro old man vibes I'm sending out while constantly wearing these and bobbing my head to a constant stream of 90's alt rock.

Great Headphones
Sound great out of the box, the clips could use a bit more cushion but that's something that can be modded

First pair lasted 2 years, turned around and immediately bought another
When I initially purchased these I was looking for a good alternative to my HyperX Cloud II gaming headset (which is built like a tank and just never dies) for the hotter months, I tried IEM's and they worked okay but having something in your ear canal can be uncomfortable and for some people there can be wax build up issues.
Upon initial testing the hooks pinched my ears which was uncomfortable to say the least, but I found they were easily bendable so that they essentially just hang on my ear which has turned them into the most comfortable headset I have ever owned. I can take one off if I need to, and no more headset hair!
The mic leaves more to be desired, its useful in meetings, but for gaming it falls short (probably because of all the noise from the game interfering with people hearing you). I ended up getting a separate mic that sits on my desk.
Plugging in the headset I use the DAC that came with my HyperX, which makes it easy to swap between the two. I've also plugged these directly into my work laptop for meetings without issue. There may be some onboard sound cards out there that have a hard time driving a standard audio device since the expectation is that most people probably use USB at this point, so if you don't have a DAC it may be necessary to get one if you find you have low audio.
After two years of use the left ear randomly died, literally while I was using it, so it was definitely surprising when the audio just suddenly cut off. I took it apart but didn't see any damage, the cable seemed fine, so I can only assume a tiny electronic board just crapped out. I'm honestly surprised they lasted this long because the expectation was that something would happen with the cable since it looks so frail, at which point I had planned to try to mod it with a braided cable, but I don't think the first set is salvageable so just keeping it for spare parts at this point.
While I was waiting on my new set to arrive I was using my HyperX and man, it just feels uncomfortable to use at this point with how it grabs my head and stifles my ears. So be warned, the KSC75X is so comfortable it could very well ruin you on using anything else.
You will get decent sound out of these things, certainly sufficient to play games and listen to music, but you might miss the superior audio you can get from a more substantial headset. For me the amazing comfort just outweighs any other quality I might want out of a headset.

Not for Big Ears
Okay, my ears are really normal size (if there is such a thing) but the design of the 'ear hooks' on these earphones just doesn't work on my ears; they don't really 'lock-in' and stay put and feel like they will drop off at any moment... Also, don't know if there is a loose wire or what but the audio from the source, once the earphones were plugged in, was really low... Pushing the button on the wires seem to help but once it was not being pushed the volume was really really low... Oh well... They've found a place in my 'whatever' drawer; doubtful they will be in use very much...

I would agree by default they are not comfortable, because they sort of grab onto your ear (probably for those who want to work out or move around a lot), but if you bend the hooks out a bit so they don't grab your ear but rather just essentially hang on your ear, their comfort is unmatched. This does make it so you can easily knock them off on accident, but otherwise they won't move unless you are doing some high intensity physical activity.

Best price/performance headphones ever
For 20$ bucks you cannot get anything better, sound and comfortable wise, but not even for 40 or 60$ imho.
These are my main go to, unless I need noise canceling / isolation, because they're light, they sound good, very good, and they sound fun too.
The drivers Koss created have a reputation that is well worth, on the other side construction of the headphones is really cheap unfortunately, so you'll end up having issue with the cable (bad quality) and maybe with the ear mounts over the years (plastic in the connector get consumed by usage and then the ear mounts tend to detach) but again, the sound and the enjoyment you can have with these, for this price, is absolutely worth. If you haven't, try them now, you can always mod them later :D

Works well with great price to value ratio
Good sound quality without being uncomfortable for up to 2 hours despite resting directly on your ears. However at this price you can expect to easily break them/snap a wire if not taken care of properly. Great for listening to podcasts and vocal recordings.

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.

KSC75x + Creamy Yaxi Pads + PE Band
Great sound, best colorway, a decent mic, and the nostalgic retro look. It's perfe... Hmmm.. It's almost perfect.
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. 🎶

Best Budget Headphones; better if modded
Great if it has MMCX mod, a good pad with hole in middle, and a cable that doesn't blow up the frequencies and isn't overkill.
