Just got my pair from amirsubhi today. Listening to it right now, and realized what all the fuss is about. Its not even through burning in.

treble n bass is really better than this 895, duno is it i haven fully burn in hp895 that make me got this kinda feel...
but hp 895 of coz wider sound stage, more details, but when talk buot the trebble, bass n clarity... find tat ksc-75 better  (the compariosn now shp 895 burned in for 20 hours with ksc-75 fully burn)

Nah I prefer the SHP895 bass. But the KSC75 does sound better in the upper ranges, and it is yet to be modded.

What amp you guys use? Saw the label it said 60 ohms!!!!. An EP630 only has 16 Ohms impedance, no wonder u need an amp to push ksc75 to the fullest tongue.gif

imho. amping it with normal amp doesn't bring heaven and earth different. just slight improve. everythings is more rich
how ever, when seriously amp it (zhaolu / PPAv2) it sound hell superb compare to unamp.
and some how some improper amp does cause distortion in bass. i have heard couple of amp causing that. but not on ppav2. =)
by the way, when it distort, means it telling you to tune down the volume. or the next things to distort is ur ear.

I also found that the Koss KSC75 sounds better with my old RM140 Sijosae Class AB than paired with a RM400 PIMETA. My SHP895 though, is great with PIMETA.

You'll get bass distortion if the amp manufacturer skimped on caps and power supply. My amps got no input caps, hueg power caps and 24V power supply. Sweet bass cool.gif

Its some cheap plug i got from the same shop that sell canare plugs at jalan pasar, they were out of canare plugs when i was there so i just ask for an alternative.

nocar:
recabling is pretty easy. First, u need to take out the earhook, just pull it off from the headphone.
Then u need to take off the cover that covers the solder joints, its below the earhook and in a darker grey colour, u can see in the pict that i had cut the cover in half for more movement space for the earhook.
After u took out the cover, u can see the solder joints, just unsolder them and solder in ur new cables. The workspace there is pretty tight so be careful though =)

Sry i didnt take step by step pic and for the late reply, was away for cny =)

Can your ears bear the weight of that Starquad?

Haha, its really heavy when i lay the cable on the floor up to the phones. I lay the cable on the table circling around the keyboard in between the keyboard and the mousepad, cant feel the weight of the cable. No probs for me since i use the phone primarily for my pc =)

That would be a problem for me as I use it while walking around college.

What I'm going to do is to transplant the drivers to an old headphone body. The headband allows for heavy starquad recable. Thick leather earpads puts more room between ear and driver + chicken wire cover, theoretically more bass and treble response. The SR60 size shell improves isolation, so that my pop drone friends wouldn't isolate me for listening to music they never heard before/older than them.

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 =)

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

Hmm hmm.gif

I'd prefer chicken wire.

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