for the KSC - 35


Really a Mini-review.

I recently bought an MP3 player to take to the gym with me. I got the Rio Cali, and while the earbuds sounded decent, I never could get them to seat very well in my ears, especially while sweating. The search began. I tried some Sony earbuds; nope. Got some Radio Shack buds that sounded good, fit well, but with the accompanying mute button, tend to bang around too much while running. Tried some Phillips behind the head phones; terrible. Enter the KSC - 35.

These things sound way better than a $30 anything has the right to sound. Incredible, but not overpowering bass. Very good highs. If anything is lacking, it would be the mid-range, but not a lot. These sound much better than the crappy Sennheiser's I got for my home rig 2 years ago. I'm very impressed with the sound of these. If they get lost or stolen, not a lot of cash to replace them either. These allow you to still be able to hear things around you while in use. I personally don't like that, some may. I just turn it up.

30 bucks, at Koss.Com. 6$ shipping.


Product Weakness: Ear clips can be painful at times, but I think that's because of my " Spock " like ears.
Product Strengths: The sound, and the price. Did I say the sound? I can run as hard and fast as I want, and they stay on. Lift weights, whatever, they stay put.
