New Head-Fier
Greetings,
I found a pair of these KTXPRO1's in the desk drawer! Apparently my wife had bought a pair of these a few years ago, and forgotten about them... the pads had disintegrated, but the rest of the unit was in pristine condition.
So, I have a secret for you with these KTXPRO1's - they are subject to the same modification (" the Kramer Mod") which turns KSC75 and PortaPro drivers into killers, moving them up two weight classes. I have Kramer Mod KSC75s,and Kramer Mod PortaPros, both using the Parts Express headbands, upgraded pads and drilled grills,which are both phenomenal. If you examine these KTXPRO1s, they utilize the identical drivers and plastic grills as the others. I had an extra drilled grill set when I was experimenting with hole diameter sizes on those others, and popped them right in here in 5 minutes.
The Kramer mod works spectacularly on these headphones - the midrange clarity and high end open considerably over the stock grilles. Another benefit is that you don't need to replace the headband, as this one is fairly good (also, you can't use the Parts Express headbands here, since the connection holes are different) - however it does have a touch more clamping force than the Parts Express headband, and thicker or double pads are mandatory to open up the sound.
I find that these with Kramer mods have all the qualites of those others, plus a bit more prominent bass (I'm guessing it's due to the difference in open back design, plus the slightly increased pressure which places the driver slightly closer to your ear).
Still, brilliant, cheap, and with the Kramer mods, even more highly recommended! (BTW for details and instructions on the Kramer mods, search elsewhere on this site...)
