hmm, thatâs rather unfortunate. Wonder if theres a good pad replacement then that wonât kill the sound. Nah, I would just remove that blue strap and make a custom one for it if anything as far as comfort goes⊠I have a large head though so, should fit
Maybe foam plantronics or pleather doughnuts. I didnât experiment much. I settled with My unused Porta Pro stock cushions, which are I kid you not twice as thick as stock KTX cushions. Tolerable enough for me.
I donât use these often, but itâs pretty amusing once in a while.
Edit:
Just look at these. I wanted to love them but I couldnât

I could probably try some like grado pads on them, they can fit the ksc75 decently well.
I believe the portapro has thicker cushion than the ksc75 doesnât it?
PP uses a softer foam, but size is same. I wonder if the scratchier KSC75 foams are more less treble dampening tham Porta Pro cushions. Now Iâm curious.
worth looking at, foam density does seem to alter treble
edit: just saw the picture, oh my thatâs beautiful.
Has anyone heard of or own the Yuin G1A or G2A? Apparently theyâre by a rather obsucre manufacturer Yuin that modified the Koss 60 ohm driver to their liking. G1A is 150ohms(!) and $115 on Penon Audio. There was some talk about it on HeadFi, but not much.
Iâve been in a bit of a craze for clip ons, so I got to find out about some interesting stuff.

Ooooooo now this is interesting. Iâm gifting my KSC-75 to my sister for Christmas so I might have to check this thing out.
Iâm on the hunt for weirder clip-ons that are long discontinued right now, but may pick up a G1A if theyâre still around months or years later.
So I read that someone on head fi made a closed back ksc75 called the Stratakosster about 9 years ago, and purrin of sbaf was impressed with the results.
So, what if I bought this:
And put in a ksc75 driver. Sure enough, when you cup the ksc75 to my ear it sounds like it has a much more full bass response and more present mids, with still lively treble. So, has anyone tried to elevate the lowly ksc75 using cheap wood alixpress headphones as the donor?

If you follow through with this Iâd be very interested in the results. I think the ksc75âs just about perfect with my fiio k3 bass boost on.

Oh, this is not even their final form.
The KSC75 Lacks bass you say? Nah, I donât know about that.
Hallelujah by Pentatonix â You will feel all the bass and some sub bass. No others mods necessary. Amp is a THX 789.
It does lose itâs grado ish appeal though. Treble is balanced by more bass. Although to be honest I havenât heard a Grado more than 5 minutes in my life, so I canât even say that for sure.

Hey all, I love my KSC75, but one of the ear clips broke. I cannot for the life of me find one to purchase. Does anyone have a broken one that can spare a right ear clip? I want to use my KSC75s again!!
You could buy the parts express headband. Itâs supposed to make them sound better.
It does, but the earclip version is more portable, lol.
Ok, WTF. I got my KSC75Xâs today and thought theyâd be a nice fun beater pair.
Tried them for a couple of minutes, swapped in Yaxiâs due to discomfort.
Then it hit me. These are too good. Plugged in them to my MacBook and the sound was great. Went to the desktop and put them in the amp. These are just awesome. What the.

This phenomenon is well documented.

Thought it was one of those community jokes, that are common in enthusiast circles. Bought a pair for the laughs and got proven that it was no joke.

So uhh this is fucking endgame boys, girls, and non binaries, Iâve found it. Itâs the most comfortable thing once you bend the pos hooks to fit your ears. Sounds very balanced to me. Oh yeah and I got the red/blue yaxi pads. Iâm loving it. Itâs sounds so⊠light and balanced yet it makes all my music come alive. Thatâs how I can best describe it. Thereâs detail on this thing too. Godlike phones for 20$.
Havenât got the KPH30i yet so weâll see if those are as good but without the earhook fudgery. PortaPros arenât even close, those are way too boosted in the bass to me.

@Out_Here_In_Poorland My ksc 75âs are my most often used headphones, lol.
I too use yaxi pads and also have put them on the oft mentioned parts express
headband. I am always impressed by their presence and soundstage, as well as
vocal/mids clarity and a decent amount of bass (not as boomy as the porta pros.) I have given away many pair of these modified kscâs and people are always wowed. I do have pricier phones, but these are what I grab when I just want to ck out new music or concert videos (youtube etc.) PS they sound great
on my Asgard 3.

I would say my kph30i (stock) and the ksc 75 with yaxi pads and parts express headband are my two most used headphones. Mostly because they both are so light and comfortable, and they are easy to drive so i donât have to rely on my Magni3 to drive them. Also, with the kph30i in stock form, they do have slightly different sound signature.
