So I had an extra set of koss ksc75's sitting around and was on the look out for a new set of phones to use with the pc. I wanted to transplant them into another enclosure of another larger headphone. So I found an old radioshack headphone radio all in one at my local thrift store. I gutted it and put the ksc75 drivers in with some foam from box packaging and came up with this................

As for sound they sound just as good as ever. A little light on the bass but the bass that is there is tight and controlled now. Not as much impact as there use to be. But those sparkling highs oh my goodness.

Apparently images linked from picasa web aren't working.

Here you go. That should work for some pics of them.

They are 100 percent more comfy too.

ah, fixed link, very nice modding job too

for the bass, have you tried adjusting dampening materials/amount inside of the cups, as well as in front of the drivers?

 

[dspang]

I have some thin foam on this headset that came stock. I just left it on there. Think something thicker should be in tow. I already have me some substantial dampening behind the drivers.

 

[obobskivich]

I've found that putting material in front of drivers increases low end response, you may play with that a bit

and putting heavy material behind them usually decreases said response (its touchy when you get to cup dampening), so you should play with that as well

and yes, my final verdict:
just play with it until you're happy, if you're happy now, keep rockin

Thanks for the replies and ideas man. Tinkering can be so damn fun.

I must comment on the soundstage too. The ksc75's had a pretty good one before but now I can tell a lot better where the instruments are. Excellent metal phones now because the guitars seem to be a lot more forward. Possibly grado like?

 

[obobskivich]

I have no idea how the KSC75's compare, I've never heard them un-modded (let alone your creations), but the Koss 'stats are very forward/warm (they can make Grado's look downright bad in some/most scenarios (imho))

have fun tweaking

Looks like fun, man!
