Basically a review of $5 earphojes from China. They think they are very good. Who knows? I generally trust tnt-audio.

I have several pairs, and have quite a few friends who have bought them and like them too. Certainly very good for the money.

Me too - and I can say something else, they are in constant use here for headset duty for work zoom calls. They have performed excellently (the ones with the microphone) so they are good quality on that side as well. Very easy to wear for longer periods.

I don't think they are a match for higher end phones in custom ear moulds, but for everyday travel, work, where you don't want to use expensive ones that might get damaged, they are a great buy.

Drop has KOSS KSC75X on pre order at the moment for 20 Dollars + 5 for shipping to Ireland.
You will be surprised how good they sound. Very open, detailed, but never harsh, nice tight bass.
Uses titanium covered driver.
Very similar to classic KOSS PORTA PRO, but PRO's are darker, less exciting.
I have both of them for fun listening, both KRAMER MODED and YAXI pads. YAXI pads ads more comfort, but takes away some top extension, and cause bass to weaken.
Otherwise excellent value basic earphones.

and really surprised with sound quality, it sounds very decent! Quite linear, enough bass, ok-ish noise isolation, clear vocals, battery lasts ~5-8h. For 15€, its a great deal.
