eokboy:

Using the original pads wif the aluminium wire mesh clears up the mid and tamed the treble a bit ( really ), adding the leather pads in my case totally killed the highs. If i add the original pad with the leather pads over it, the bass becomes totally bloated to the extent of cheap computer speakers' bass. What i did was to cellotape the center of the mesh, brings back the treble sparkle ( not as bright as original ) and now the bass is tight and has better impact than the original ksc-75.

From my previous experiences with my grado and alessandro headphones, pads do make a difference, but with the ksc-75 the difference is incredibly huge.

The general idea i get is:
If u have a chamber in the pads, the bigger the chamber, the more bass.
Treble depends on the amount the soundwaves reflects, and also depends on the material of reflection. Hard material ( leather ) = better treble. Soft material ( foam ) = less treble.

The reason i cellotape the center of the mesh is to create more reflections for the treble, instead of the soundwaves travelling direct to the ear ( which totally killed the treble in my case ). The cellotape made a huge difference.

Just my observations from 2 weeks of experimenting with pads and materials to obtain my "perfect sound". Hope it helps u ( as well as all fellow DIYers out there ).

p/s: It is also to note that the above methods only changes the frequency response of the headphone, other aspects like accuracy of instrument representation and etc are due to the driver and cannot be changed though =)

anyone can show me the post of modified ksc 75 cause i wanna modify too the clip is making my ear damn pain

Some useful empirical data here. Thanks . Will do some experimenting on my own.

..You can bend the wire clips to your liking.

i mean like remove the clips and replace sumthing become a better like a head phones ? anyone can guide me ?

u can check few page back
i remeber some 1 link a MOD thread from head-fi forum
but not advise to MOD unless u got extra of it

hi guys
been using my ksc75 for half a year d but now suddenly left side no sound at all d
what should i do?

does yours come with the vc / without vc? if its the vc version, I would think its the vc problem as I am having the same problem as well. If it is the vc problem, you could recable them and take the vc off or you could send them back to Koss. If its without vc..then most probably the driver is gone. For that, your only choice is to send it back to Koss

seem like alot having a same problem,i m oso the 1 of them

i think the problem is the VC part

Those who have with VC just do a bypass lo.
Maybe the VC killed the wiring.

LOL
u get from me right?
if so
post it to me
i help u exchange a new 1
but tat depend on my supplier to check wat's the faulty reason
but mostly can get a new 1 if they got ready stock

oh cool
pm u d
btw guys mine is without vc

Hmm

I'd prefer chicken wire.

Nice job though. What sort of improvement did it yield?

wow wtf? just get some panty hose instead...those threads are going to act like guitar strings and resonate with the driver...it's gonna sound like the threads!!! (however they sound )

heya ppl..do u think i shud get this KSC75? I have already got a PX100

but i cant stop imagining the sound of KSC75..very tempting...from some reviews it sounded almost like porta pro..n well porta pro is nice..

for me
i personal prefer KSC-75 more than porta-pro
porta - pro having deep n boomy bass, tat for sure
but loose on clarity
ksc-75 got more balance bass, good in clarity, sound stage quite wide for this small clip
i haven heard PX 100 b4, so cant give any comment or any comparison

however everyone...anyone noticed the thread title ka? FANZ CLUZ?

lol
after century, now i only notice less 1 B
hahahha
good spot there

OFF TOPIC

When you plan to sell off your PX100, drop me a pm before you post it up.
Kinda interested.
Wanted to do a PX100 vs PX200 test.

i had a px200 way back then, pinjam from my friend, cant stand the sound..however, px100 might be better since the px200 is a closed set.

...the memories of the px200 hurts my ear...disappointment.
