Drop + HIFIMAN HE4XX vs Koss FitClips KSC32i

These headphones sound great and are very affordable, but just know what you are getting. If you're looking for some great sounding headphones to listen to around your house using a headphone amp, these would be a great buy. But if you're looking for something to take to the gym, or use at work you'll probably want to look elsewhere. Pros - Excellent sound quality

My wife disagrees, but I think movies sound punchier and more intimate on grado cans. And they have the side benefit of letting two people listen to something and just talk like nothing since they leak like mad. But again, all round? These babies, hands down.

The Koss FitClips KSC32i earbuds sound much better than their low price suggests, but the microphone’s quality is lacking.

All-day comfortable with ease (they can get a tiny bit warm with the alcantara pads in a hot room, but not even close to unacceptable) and utterly zero squeaks or creaks (looking at you, Audio Technica AD700's) The one, ONLY gripe I have with them is the nice cable they have is too short for anything other than a desktop amp or device RIGHT in front of you. BUT, it's replaceable, and lots of companies make cables for them. Side benefit is you can get a balanced cable for them, and if you get a BTR5 as well, that amp has a balanced output option. So they can sound EVEN BETTER

I don't how these got on several best buy lists. Unimaginable for music. Unfortunately because of discarding them almost immediately, I cannot comment on durability. However, they were, I must admit, quite comfortable

It's not long enough for comfortable PC/ living room AV receiver use for me, so I ordered a replacement cable when I bought the headphone. The replacement cable is that red one that everybody else is buying. I clipped the "braided" part off, and now they're really cool looking red cables. They click really nicely into the headphones - better click than the stock cable

Woah, look at Yr headphones! Koss eh ? I've recommended them to my friend who uses a treadmill at home and doesn't like ear plugs. And thats her price range for portable audio. Seems a perfect match up thanks!

So, I found these via Wirecutter reviews, and although they were moderately priced, I'm not a huge audiophile and mostly listen to podcasts while running. These worked great for about 2 months of half -marathon training. Then last weekend, one side stopped working. If I fiddle with the cord, I can get it to turn back on, which means the problem isn't my phone, it's the wiring in the headphones
