About a month ago, I purchased a pair of Koss KSC 75 headphones, and have been loving them ever since. But one day I was bored, so I went looking around the house and found a pair of old headphones (probably from early/mid 90's...), and realized that the ear pieces were attached to the headband with a similar connection as the KSC's to their ear clips.
So here's before pic:

After:

The sound seems much improved, as the drivers are now closer to my ears. But I have a question, which is the main point of this thread.
The more I look at these hybrid headphones, the more they remind me of PX100's. So I was wondering, is there any simple way to make the headband foldable (eg. buy hinges and stickem' on)? Or alternatively, are there stores where I can just buy a foldable headband, and just stick the drivers(+original housing) on them?

Thats just TOO cool for words. Sometimes the cheapest mods done cleanly are the most impressive.

RE: the folding headband... Maybe you could find a foldable headbanded junk-can on ebay and do a similar mod?

Sometimes I snap my KSC75 drivers into my Koss sportapro headband. So, any of the porta series headbands should work. Although theyre not the cheapest.

What kind of headphone is/was that?

It was a stock headphone from an old Sony cassete player I believe. Now that I think of it, cassete players seem like ancient history. I feel so old.

Very smooth mod! Good thing I have a lot of random old and busted headphones to work with in the future.

I as well would like to see it a cool foldable version done.

Here's my Master Plan.

Incoming - Portapros, Recabled KSC-35.

When the weather gets warmer, I'm going to pop the clips off the KSC-35, and stick the recabled drivers on the Portapros. Bingo - recabled drivers on a folding headband! With a spare stock set of Koss 60 Ohm Drivers! This might work out well because the recabled drivers might be a bit heavy (dunno, we'll see when they come) and the headband will help alleviate any drag due to that.

That is so cool, too cool for school even, haha. By the way, anyone know if there are orange foam that fits the ksc housings?

Do you have extra headbands like this? I'd like one.

Edit:
How to remove the KSC75 from its clips? Just snap them off? I was wondering if a PX100's headband can fit a KSC75.

 

[mapleleafs]

lol sorry its the only one i could find

yeah I bought a .99$ headphones hopeing it would fit my KSC75 aswell.. but they didnt. If anyone knows where I can order the headband, that would be swell.

my god, it's alive

the more i look at it, the better it looks. very cool mod.

 

[benton]

Ohhhhhh, no way. My music tech lab has those EXACT headphones! I am so tempted to take them!

Nice! I'm traveling right now, but as soon as I get home, I going to sift through my box of crappy old headphones to see if I have anything that will fit my KSC-75s!

 

[mektarus]

If anyone has spares, I'll buy a pair from you.

 

[hembergler]

Nice work with that mod, looks very good. Makes me wish I had a pair of KSC75's and an extra headband.
