  Does anyone know where I can find a headband for the KSC75 in Europe without the high premium for shipping. I can't find a sensible buy anywhere. The last one mentioned is 2.50 plus 20.00 in shipping. Even if I'd buy two in reserve that's a bit steep
 
I'm in The Netherlands.

I bought 2 shipped to Canada for $20.

If the wires are still connected, you can use a stereo source to test which is left or right by listening.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTvJoYnpeRQ
 
If the wires aren't connected,  you can use a multimeter set on continuity mode to test the jack's tip is connected to the left, and the ring is connected to the right (sleeve is ground and is connected to both).
 
Hope this helps!

You're a life saver! I figured out that I put the ear pieces on the wrong sides into the headband. I'm not sure what this would do though over the long term? Would I start hearing Satanic subliminal messages?

Hello my headband came in today from gp-net SYSTEM. I can finally use my Koss headphones and the sound quality is so much better. However, this design with the metal looks just as cheap as it did when they were first introduced with the walkman.

A suggestion...... has anybody thought of a cushion to cover the band? I found this....

Any ideas welcome mod.2!

Does anyone know of a better quality headband than the one Parts Express used to sell? I'm looking to upgrade.

You could go for a Portapro headband swap. Can get various colours or cheaper fakes just for the headband.

I can't find any portapro headbands on ebay or amazon. Maybe they are on Ali?

Found a decent source for that cheapo headband. Less than $5 shipped. If the link doesn't work, Google "sound lab headphones".

Also, if you have a Aiaiai Tracks headphone lying around, that band might work too.

****Update****: Apparently Soundlab updated their model or something because they don't fit the KSC75 anymore. You can't detach the drivers from the headband. At least don't buy the ones on Juno! They're not the same headphones as on the picture. The headphones I got look like these

You can still get the older style ones for around $4 on ebay/amazon. Just search keywords "Mini Stereo Lightweight Design Headphones".

I have a portapro headband I can list in the for sale section, but they sound better on the cheap parts express style headband.

I find they sound better, are more comfortable and durable on the Portapro headband. The KSC75 is thicker so I have to go one step lighter on the adjustment than I would if Portapro drivers were attached.

Well I just put mine on the parts express headband from giantpygmy.net ....wow I’m loving the sound and more comfortable than the ear clips.
