Stop paying for those branded use-and-throw crap, and get yourself one of those modular chi-fi headsets.

Cables broken? Now you don't have to throw the entire thing. Want this, but in USB-C? Just get them cables in the format you prefer. Earbuds uncomfortable? No worries, get them replaced. Want to go wireless? Get yourself one of those Bluetooth module - the neck ones, or the around-the-ear, if that's what you prefer.

    I would recommend them in a heartbeat, but I won’t oversell the Koss KSC75s. In ear headphones at this price point from brands like moondrop slap them and plenty of over ears are better at sensible <£100 mark price points. I also find the KSC75s never last long. The wires are sooo thin they all eventually fail for me after being traveled with for a while. With that said, I keep buying replacement pairs because they are really very good sounding and comfortable too for the price.

      I'm looking to buy a new set - which moondrops would you recommend? I do prefer in ear really.

        When I last looked the Moondrop chu 2 were very good at about £20 and very well reviewed, Turthear Hola were about the same price and probably better build if you can find them. Moondrop Aria are also very good, but more money. And at the £75 mark there are the Moondrop Starfield 2 which are excellent. But I’m not an expert! The Chinese iem market moves fast and I haven’t looked for a couple of years so there is probably better stuff out there today.
