i got a little curious and started to take apart my koss ksc75

so i took off the grey caps and put the clips back on and got this


result: more comfortable because the clips have more room for rotation

then i realized that leaving the soldering joints bare could damage my headphones so i cut off the top part of the grey cap and put them on like this

I don't get the differemce

Where was the grey thing?

I like this idea! How far do the clips rotate now?

 

[jdimitri]

Ohh it used to go all round the clip part
Sorry, havent used my KSC75 cuz i lost a clip

probably a little more than twice the freedom

Do they stay on as well?

the clip? or the headphone?

there shouldn't be a difference in the clip.
as for the driver, i think they stay on better because they have a better fit

I just tried it and they are more comfortable this way. You get quie a bit more freedom of movement with the clip, but im not sure if i want to cut the plastic thing and make this a permanent mod. How did you cut it?

I just used a pair of wire cutters on mine, then sanded it down a bit to give it a better edge.

Thanks, they do feel and fit a lot better.

wow, that really means a lot coming from you, kramer

and i just used a pair of wire cutters from my $5 ratshack toolkit. it has a lifetime warranty so its that much cooler

Clever mod.

I never realized how easy a recable would be on the 75's until this thread!

hehe... my thoughts exactly... first thing that popped to mind when i read that was "mmm... recabling them would be so easy"...

too bad i don't have spare pair to try it... and they don't sell them here in Chile....

Just did this to mine and LOVE the mod. Thanks for posting. BTW - I took and heated up a butter knife with a lighter and used it to melt through the clip. Thanks for posting!
