Nope

Target nope Walmart nope Radioshack nope...
I'll check out Big Lots when I have time. It might be there, considering that Big Lots is big on selling cheap junk

I hope they have it because I'll have to use these KSC 75s for a while (till I can get IEMs which will be a long way off because like I said earlier, I need to save up for a better guitar amp)

Did a Walmart stop to get the PR-355, a whopping $5 purchase to strip out a 5 cent part. It works well, this mod make these cans much more enjoyable.

The radio it comes with is very much a throwback to Kennedy-era radio technology, when the transistor first came to fore in consumer goods. Its got an extendable antenna! Holy cow, even the schematics to build this radio haven't been dusted off in 30 years. It must have cost them all of $1 to make, which includes the container voyage. Gotta hand it to Walmart for figuring how to sell stuff worth just about zero for just slightly more than zero.

I got annoyed and I was like "F it.." so I just rigged up my own custom headband mod using pink kite string. Now I'm pimpin

Hey everyone,

I walked into a Rite Aid today hoping to find a pair of headphones I could attach my KSC 75's to. To my complete shock and surprise, I discovered the exact same headphones discussed in this thread!

The headphones were sold with a Vextra VX2093 AM/FM radio. If you're still looking for a KSC 75 headband, give your local Rite Aid a try

*EDIT*
So this is actually my first post, but I've been around here for awhile now I feel sorry for my wallet already

This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you get the clips off the KSC75? I literally opened them up about 10 minutes ago and don't want to break them.

Pull.

Okay simple enough, I just didn't want to start yanking away at my brand new 75s

Thanks for a great mod, will need to visit a Wally's tomorrow.

This might be a true giant killer !

Unfortunately, my Wal-Mart has substituted buds for the headphones. I just went to the Parts-Express website and ordered three of them (I already bought a Durabrand and found it flimsy so I figured with three of them I'd be OK). Plus I think I'll make a pair for my daughter.

 

[Jack H]

Just to clarify, are the PartsExpress headphones the right ones? Are they bigger/put more pressure on one side than the other, or are those the Durabrand ones?

 

[Al Paccioli]

I got the PartsExpress headphones from Amazon and there is no difference in pressure between sides.

I found a green one with the irish airlines on ebay:

I had KCS-35s lying around for years. I got a couple of the Parts Express Mini Headphones and fitted in the 35s. I fiddled awhile as wasn't sure how the drivers snapped off and didn't want to break or damage them. However, once I saw they were connected it was easy to do. Make sure when you're fitting in the 35s drivers that the cord is facing down. Otherwise you'll have to remove the drivers and rotate them so that the cord is down. Not a problem, it's just me -- always bungling the simplest jobs. By the way the sound in the new headbands is just as good as they were in the clip-ons but the fit is much more comfortable than with the awkward clip-ons. I love them -- my new favs. Can listen for long periods without pressure or sweating. With the other Mini phones I may just buy a pair of KCS-75s to mod for a backup pair. Others may commented in this thread but the headband is not firm enough for working out or jogging with. -- as I see it.

Thanks to the DIY genius' for posting this mod.
