The Antlion Kimura Duo earbuds offer a midrange price, superior comfort, and excellent build quality with a detachable cable, suitable for gaming due to their low latency and also provide good sound quality for music. However, they have lower scores for calls and meetings and are less portable than some other options. The Koss KSC75 headphones come at a budget price and with an open-back design, they provide a larger soundstage that is beneficial for music listening. They are not as comfortable or well-built as the Kimura Duo and they lack a microphone, making them less suitable for calls or gaming. Choose the Kimura Duo for gaming and overall better build quality, and the KSC75 for a budget-friendly music listening experience with greater sense of spaciousness in the sound. Give Feedback

"Antlion Kimura Duo aren’t packed with features, but the ones they offer, work incredibly well. Especially the boom mic delivers very clean call quality with no distortion. If you explicitly look for gaming in-ear monitors with a reliable microphone, Antlion Kimura Duo are your best option."

"Let’s not insult the KSC75 by saying that it’s simply good for the price… because it’s far more than that. It basically has a monopoly at its asking price, and could still give modern budget headphones a run for their money 15 years after its release. The KSC75 is the world’s best not-headphone."
