That's what I did.

 

Next night edit: DAMN these sound good! Questioning my $1000 setup............ lol

Just got the Parts Express headphones... garbage! lol... at least they threw in a 1/8->1/4" adapter! Took the drivers off, snapped the Koss' right on. Now we're cruisin!!! These really are great for the price. Only problem is I don't remember which side is left or right! Oh well... I can always switch them around.

Use your windows audio panel to test L/R channel.

You can also use this test 3 second mp3 that I've found in the sound folder of the Diablo PC game installation directory. Matt Uelmen says "test left" on the left and "test right" on the right.

Matt Uelmen is literally the greatest video game soundtrack composer.

The headband looks exactly the same as the one parts-express sells.

That headphone is no longer available at maplin.co.uk. I found the same thing on ebay. The rest of this post is a duplicate of http://www.head-fi.org/t/638757/koss-ksc75s-dont-forget-about-this-giant-killer-in-all-the-hype/120#post_9499597 and I'm duplicating it so that any UK people can be fairly sure to find the details amongst the numerous Koss KSC and Porta Pro mod threads.

For anyone in the UK who wants one of these cheap headbands it can be found for £0.99 + £1.99 postage on ebay. Orange Lightweight Stereo Headphones Adjustable Headband Cheap School Office



Quite a lot of other people and stores sell them. The product part number is A070B so if you google "a070b headphone uk" you'll find a choice. Sometimes these are branded as Altai. I bought mine from the ebay seller linked above and they were delivered on time (just now). The KSC75 clip right into the headband as expected and it works nicely. You can have the drivers a little lower and more forward than is possible with the clips so you no longer have that feeling that the music is above and behind as the positioning is now the same as with a conventional headphone.

These also look just right with my iRiver H140:
