Looks authentic to me. Something strange is going on if the audio quality on them is bad 🤔- BaconKevin

You'll have to pop open one of the earphones and take a photo of the driver. If there are two solder dots on them, they're genuine.- BaconKevin

I went ahead and MMCX-ified my MH750s. The little internal plastic nubbins that poke out from the back of the shells made soldering the wires onto the connectors trickier compared to the MH755. I got sloppy and melted one of the plastic shells by quite a bit, enough so that the shells wouldn't...- BaconKevin

I got my first pair of the MH750 today and it has the Made In [space space space] China text on the tag. The nozzle filters have the small central white circle, different to the common fake ones that are large and white. The drivers have what appears to be solder dots but they're different to...- BaconKevin

I hadn't seen real MH755s with white nozzle filters before...though I am fairly new to this hobby. So the sure-fire way to determine fakes from the genuine article is to check for the solder dots?- BaconKevin

Genuine MH755s have black nozzle filters so yours is most likely a fake unfortunately.- BaconKevin

Koss Portapro Thread
It's remarkably light, weighing in at just 60 grams (~2 ounces). The lightness, the soft headband and the slight clamping pressure makes it super comfortable to wear.- BaconKevin

Koss Portapro Thread
Received some Koss drivers from Aliexpress, soldered them to an RHA MA650 cable with mic and remote, and snapped them onto a Parts Express headband. The total cost of the project was ~£20 and the results are pretty pleasing!- BaconKevin

How does the MH750 with the bass reduction mod compare with the stock MH755? Are the frequency responses close to being similar?- BaconKevin

Did some digging in this thread and found the bass-reducing mod where you cover the internal vent hole and it pretty much did the trick. No driver transplant surgery needed!- BaconKevin
