This Iâm interested in. Iâve not paid that much attention to these since theyâre not that closed back, but being able Frankenstein these made me buy the KSC75 (no point spending $35 on a hunch) but itâs kinda hard to find the G cushion for some reason, I keep running into the angled version from Misodiko.

Are you planning to do this mod with the ksc75 instead? I hope you could share your findings soon!
You could always get some off-branded G-cush pairs even cheaper than Misodiko, but if youâre willing, found where to get them here via AliExpress. If you could get G-cush angled pads from Misodiko, I would also be interested in how those would perform. I wouldnât pay for the original Grado G-cush pads though.
Yeah I found one for $5. I had to import the 75, so it probably wonât get here for a week or so.
I have not, though I donât think I could handle the ear clips, lol. Just the build on the 30i was enough that I passed up free ones at RMAF. The nonstop hype wore me down until I eventually bought mine.
Iâm glad I have the 30i as a point of reference and to help show people that good sound doesnât have to cost $200 (and that $200 doesnât necessarily get you good sound). But now that the novelty has worn off I probably wonât bother with anything else sub-$100. Maybe to mod or something, but I dunnoâŠ
You can replace the clips with a headband, there are a couple of options around. Thatâs the first thing Iâll be doing.
Parts Express does a pretty cheap one thatâs compatible. Itâs normally cheaper on their own website but theyâre out of stock atm.

Itâs funny, when I read âheadbandâ I was picturing a headband:
My wife has some âsleep headphones,â which are kinda nice, but the sound quality is pretty much garbage. Bet these could be âhot-roddedâ with Koss drivers:

Theyâre out of stock I believe until next month I was going to buy 2 of them.
Iâve heard that the white KPH30is have poorer SQ. Can anyone confirm that itâs true? Thereâs a seller here thatâs gonna sell the whites and Iâm getting a discount, so I might grab them if itâs worthâŠ
I own the white ones, and if there is a difference I didnât notice it when compared to the tan ones.
I own grey and beige and theyâre identical⊠I believe the sound is consistent with all colours
Aight cool. There was a reddit post back then where a guy bought tons of all the colors of KPHs and only the beiges sounded good⊠but that was a while back. . Just wanted to make sure!

so a first impressions after months of trying them a while back really prefer it over the ksc 75 build and form factor much better. Noticably darker and not as resolving than a ksc 75 but much more fun and enoyable. that bass response is definitely the highlight on this heapdhone. In a really limited space of budget open backs these to me are the definite winner.

A sad sad day for me. Just a little over a month of use, after carefully placing them from my head down around the neck they snapped. I did notice the adjuster kept on shaving some tiny plastic pieces out of the box so that made me already extra careful using them. I emailed Koss for a warranty claim but since I got this in Japan, outside the country, itâs a long shot, I would just glue these out but I worry the headband adjuster wonât slide properly anymore.
Anyone here could share any Koss warranty experiences outside the US or Canada?
âIf purchased outside the U.S. contact the local Koss Authorized Dealer for details.â what is says in the warranty section of their website. While you wait to hear back from Koss you should try using that UV light activated super glue. Works pretty good on plastics and holding it in place.

Really a long shot for me since there are no local Koss dealers here. Might as well wait for their response before I DIY fix, I initially planned to use Loctite super glue, now that youâve mentioned a better glue that I could use, do you have any brand in mind?
I just used the SuperGlue brand. Its called light curing glue but if you find a different brand it should work roughly the same. Itâll stay a gel form until you apply the UV light. Then itâll harden instantly.
Finally here!. Definitely smaller than I was expecting.
These feel like baby hands on my ears lol.
Really like how they sound! Now Iâm tempted to try the ksc75s.
