I bought ksc75 back after several years, it is still wonderful like i remembered them.
the last time i decided to sell them was on account of the discomfort of the earclips. they hurt my ears after 10 minutes.
So i bought a pair of koss pp headbands to use on them, which works fine but makes the phone not as portable as before.
If only there were after-market silicon earclips to replace the original, they'd be perfect!

I've been rocking my new ksc75x on the clips instead of a headband. I've got a ksc75 on a headband. But honestly I think they sound better and it's a better experience on the clips. I can't explain the better experience part though. I just think it's cool having clip-ons.

I just gotta get these modded. I want a soft 16 core cable on them.

Anyone remember what tripowin is called that has the mic on it? This is a feature that I really like of the drop version that I'd like to keep.

Edit: just found it. It's the Grace

Quick share of a cheap mod I have been using for more than a year now.

I just find the cheapest walkman style headphone (can even be those disposable ones you get during flight), and just stick on some snap-on buttons. Sometimes you may need to reshape the headphone cups (sawing and/or sanding), and even add some fill-in material - in my case some paper clay. Then just use E6000 to stick the snap-on buttons. If the surface is flat, I would just use some 3M VHB tape.

On the drivers/speakers side, I would just use VHB tape to stick on the other side of the snap-on buttons. For wiring, I just use JST PH2.0 connectors which I think is common for PC builds. So it's just all daily stuff which should be readily purchased at the cheap.

With this setup, I can easily roll drivers on plug-and-play basis.

I have also modded a pair of Creative Labs JAM v2 wireless headphone which does aptx HD, so I can listen to the KOSS and other drivers wirelessly, whatever I fancy on the day. I have tripled the Lipo batt capacity (original was just 200mAh), and also extracted and moved Mic 1 to a detachable 3.5mm boom. I use this wireless headset for music and also work calls.

However an annoying downside is that the headband may tend to roll down my face - as the snap-on buttons will just free wheel. To avoid this, I stick some non-slip pad at the top of the headband for some friction against top of my head.

Overall, it's not perfect and not so elegant, but it allows me to enjoy my music the way I like using whatever drivers I prefer, both wired and wirelessly.

Anyone know if Koss will make a ksc75 utility version?

Have no clue. That's something you can ask their customer service though.

I emailed them over a month ago but never got a response back.

The HD414 pads are my cup of tea on the KSC75X. Sennheiser seems to always be on back order. Has anyone found a suitable fake version? A pad that someone has listened to in direct comparison to the Sennheisers? Thanks. The setup on PE headband still bests my more expensive headphones. Just something about them...

Yeah I still use my ksc75 on my Porta Pro headband everyday and almost everyday I get surprised by what it can do.

Ksc75 is the only headphone I put on and think everytime 'damn do these sound great'.

What other gear do you have? I felt severely underwhelmed by the KSC75x, especially considering how much money I threw at them by modding.

Tried the Grado S cushions on the PE headband. Comfort and sound very good but, the large cushion size and light clamping makes the whole rig slide off my head unless I stay very still. Back to the Sennheiser 414 pads, which are perfect. Just experimenting and thought to let y'all know.
