Had an OG pair of these circa 2005, that I'd use while running since the ear loop held on decent for what was available at the time and the sound was good. I believe these were rumored to be the fancy "drivers" that Palmer Lucky mentioned were used in the original Rift CV1. I ended up buying a pair for my Vive as they were an easy over the ear solution that didn't involve a bulky headstrap and didn't provide full isolation so you could actually hear anyone else in the room. Considering the price they have always punched over there weight.
I use these too :) I have a 3d print to make it work like the htc deluxe audio strap but my normal headphones are sent off for repair so haven't taken off the ear clips yet since I am using it for work too until I get my headphones back. They are pretty good :)
Yo Blunty I used to watch your early videos of stopmotion animation back in the day! It's good to see you still making content on here! I now make animations too now! Will you every make animations again someday? :)
YOOOOOOOOO KSC75s are my main headphones for anything with a headphone jack also the original Rift CV1's headphones literally use the same drivers as ksc75/portapros
I bought them some years ago to fix my Oculus Rift S audio speakers cause they were pretty bad. I actually love the sound of this headphones, it even sounded clearer than my Astro A50s that I had at the time, the problem was that I just can't wear this things for more than an hour, it starts to hurt really badly, maybe cause of my ear shape. I swear that if they released the same drivers but in a more "tradicional" headphone style, they would be my daily driver and replace my Arctis Pro gaming headset. EDIT: Now I almost don't use them, sadly. I got the Valve Index on 2021 so since then audio and VR has not been an issue for me.

I always loved the clip on headphones. I could clip them on my hoodie sleeve to listen to music during classes without getting caught. I wouldn't mind getting true wireless headphones with the same design.
@@BluntyTV yeah, I knew about those but they still have a wire that connects them. I find those types to be annoying to wear. Thank you for pointing them out anyway though.
I use the KSC35 because I have a blacked out Quest3 and I want to match the color. Does the job, and I also have Marshall Mode earbuds if I want the in-ear option
Revenge of the Sith is awesome, I will die on that hill lol. Great vid though, I may have to try those headphones out, at present the sound quality of the Q3 is fine enough. I did have to use my full headset once with the Quest 3 and the weight of all that on my head started causing some very uncomfortable strain on my neck within just a few minutes.
Just go these. Thanks for the suggestion. The speakers on the Quest 3 are lacking to be kind. The Koss's are open, balanced and have way better imaging. The only thing I didn't like about the Quest 3 and you solved it.
TBH I have no problem with the Quest 3's in buit speakers as they area substancial upgrade to the Q2's but I'm still tempted to get these headphones just because I like a good clean sound from my headphones, there's a very specific line of older turtlebeach headphones I love for this very reason. nothing has come close to that sound quality for me since and to have that in a more portable form factor would be a very nice upgrade... I might have to investigate the bluetooth version aswell
just now stumbling on this video because there is STILL not a decent over ear solution for the quest 3 that I've found yet. just curious, how is the directional audio with these? I play a lot of shooters (with PvP multiplayer) in VR and knowing what direction sounds are coming from in those games is super important. I'm THIS CLOSE to pulling the trigger on these bad boys!
As an “average audiophile” I have no problems with the built-in speakers. In the future when vr visuals get better, I will probably crave better audio.
While i appreciate the great review. I agree the sound quality is better, its not better to add all the wire that comes with it. I bought the quest 3 to get away from wires, and these just created a spider nest of wire all over the place. True you can tie it all up neat, but it really hinders the abilty to pop-on pop-off your headset. I am returning these. I do like them, but its just too much to fumble with each time i wanna put on and take off my headset.
Honestly the quest 3 doesnt have bad audio at all, especially with the spatial audio, you really only need a sound upgrade if you have some serious minimums in audio quality
or maybe your hearing is just a bit shit? ... Because while the Q3's speakers are "fine" - they're HARDLY ideal. Book that hearing test mate... or get a GOOD set of headphones and discover what you've been missing.

Hi, which 3d print did you use to attach the headphones?
Thank you very much for this video! Inspired by you, I tested the KSC75s vs my Vive DAS in a video and found the KSC75s my new favorite.

@@BluntyTV Wow! I will look into buying it, thanks a lot!!
And, also, sorry for the typo, still learning the language.
Now we need to figure out how to improve the mic.. Maybe a Microphone cushion thingie over the charging contacts?

The Koss KSC35 are Bluetooth, and otherwise nearly identical to these.
@@BluntyTV yeah, I knew about those but they still have a wire that connects them. I find those types to be annoying to wear. Thank you for pointing them out anyway though.
I started by laughing at how there was zero chance i was getting these. I ended the video. They will be here tomorrow 😂

Thank you for this recommendation they are awesome! i just need to cable manage them better.

I use Koss porta Pro with 3D Printed adapters. I wonder if the drivers of yours are the same.
They are VERY similar, but the Porta Pro don't use the titanium variant IIRC
@@BluntyTV Man! I swear I got some of these from a second hand store for like 1 Euro many years ago and I dumped them thinking they were trash :D

Etika headphones
yeah i was actually thinking the same thing :(
I miss his streams.
THATS WHY I WAS FEELING SO FAMILIAR🥺 RIP ETIKA

Etika would love this FR #JOYCONBOYZFOREVER

What did you get instead? I also bought this for the quest 3, didn’t like the wire either.
"That's what she said!" … in 2023. 😁
