Am I the only person not satisfied with the headband from partsexpress? I find it hard to adjust it just right and it slips a lot. Farkin annoying.

Must be, 'cause mine works great.

They are flimsy and don't have a tight fit. But for $1.97 try another pair. You can't jog with them.

anybody knows where i can find a headband that will ship to my place in singapore?

the clip on of the ksc75 is too irritating for me, after doing the kramer mod and recabling it, it's time for the headband mod.

where can i find a headband that will ship to singapore?

thanks

Awesome simple mod, just bought 2 of those mini headphones from partsexpress for under $7 shipped!

Update: just got these in, mod is as simple as it can get!!

The headband is very light and does the job. clamping force is just enough to keep them on my head.

GREAT DISCOVERY!

Sorry to make this thread bumpity bump, but anyone know of a place to get a headband for the KSC75s in Australia? I checked out dealEx and such but couldn't find much. Parts Express international shipping his very expensive.
I was thinking these, but I guess I should try my local cheapo stores first:
Ultra Light Headphones - Jaycar Electronics

Those are exactly like the el cheapo phones I used for my KCS35s. I got from Parts Express.

Same question here: where to buy another cheap headband to use with Yuin G2A? Partsexpress won't ship where I live...

bump!
Interested too

If you don't mind spending money (and wasting some of it), you can also use the Porta Pro headband with the KSC75. Since I prefer the KSC75 driver over the Porta Pro driver, this is what I did. The only difference for those that don't know, is that the KSC75 driver is titanium, a bit brighter and may have less bass.

Thanks for the tip tdockweiler.  I made the switch to the Porta-Pro.  It's a definite improvement over the cheap headband -- a much more secure and comfortable fit.  Even with the additional expense it still a good headphone mod buy with nothing in this cost range that would better it.

i still can't seem to find the headphone band separately anywhere. hmmm... partsexpress didn't seem to have them. i don't like how the metal part in the headband from partsexpress protrudes when the band is shortened... anyone know where i can buy a head band by itself relatively cheaply from within the us that looks like this?

Hey guys for you complaining about that PartExpress headband, I am in a similar situation since PE will only ship me one for 28 USD to Canada... so I've search quite a bit using different combination of words on eBay "light stereo headphone" "mini headphone" and I've found a pair on eBay.co.uk typing "budget stereo headphone". It is the "QTX Budget stereo headphones 100.035", I suggest you search for them as they seem to have the very same headband pictured above. I will see if I can buy one internationally from any of those many UK electronics online store and I will tell you if it fits the KSC75 clipping mechanism. I think it should, the headphone looks just like the one on Part Express too.
 
Here's the best quality image I could find... not the best angle though

Dang I've tried buying them from many sites, some of which do offer international shipping, but none are doing it for less than 20[size=small] [/size]£
