I can't seem to find anything at dealextreme and focalprice. Perhaps Koss killed all the fakers?
I just want the headband and don't want to keep switching my portapros. I can't justify buying another PortaPro just for the headband.

I know this is kinda old, but Id like to bump for interest.

Koss is a fantastic company and I don't endorse counterfeiters, but I must admit to some curiosity about these knockoff portapros. 
 
If someone orders these, report back and reassure us that the real deal is far superior.

no doubt the real ones are far superior in terms of the drivers. but for the headband it might be a better buy than the common parts express headphone band which easily broke for me. http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Stereo-Lightweight-Headphones-feet/dp/B0002KQZJS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1367613647&sr=8-6&keywords=ksc75
 
i read that the little switch clamp factor doesnt work, but its probably less likely to break than the parts express version (i swear if aliexpress or any chinese website sold those, it would sell for $2 shipped)
 
Also i use ON3 knock off earpads on my portapro, they feel great, i didnt buy this particular one, i had one from focal price. these chinese prices are pretty cheap even if you throw away the driver compared to what you might find on ebay for just the part you need itself.

I'm tempted to order them just on a lark. However, I'm even more tempted to buy a drill and mod out my sportapro's and jvc 700's.
