If you require a microphone for calls or meetings, the JLab Go Work Wireless is equipped for that, but at a higher cost. The Koss KSC75, while more affordable, lacks a microphone, making it less versatile for communication. For audiophiles who prioritize sound quality, the KSC75 is celebrated for its excellent audio performance at its price point. However, the Go Work provides the convenience of wireless connectivity, which is great for on-the-go use without the hassle of wires. If budget is a constraint and microphone use is not critical, the Koss KSC75 is a noteworthy choice; otherwise, for a versatile, wireless experience and essential call functions, the JLab Go Work Wireless could be worth the extra investment.

The JLab Go Work Wireless has excellent build quality, while the Koss KSC75 has poor build quality.
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
"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."
