What should I get as my first Koss piece?

I am aware this has been asked enough times, so my apologies.
I really want to get into the modding aspect of things but sound matters a lot to me
My most recent uses have been Simgot EW200 and Truthear Hexa, I am not expecting the koss pieces to sound like these but I like Balanced to Neutral sound signatures a lot!

So I would really appreciate some advice and suggestions with regards to that!

Thanks a lot
Love

Hey everyone, after my last post I have been working hard to make all the modifications people have been asking for.

2-Pin 0.78:

Porta Pro/KPH40: https://www.printables.com/model/1713333-2-pin-improved-koss-porta-pro-2-pin-mod

KSC75: https://www.printables.com/model/1713346-2-pin-improved-koss-ksc75-2-pin-mod

MMCX:

Porta Pro/KPH40: https://www.printables.com/model/1690916-mmcx-improved-koss-porta-prokph40-mmcx-mod

KSC75: https://www.printables.com/model/1675349-mmcx-improved-koss-ksc75-mmcx-mod

Flower Grill

For all these models, there is a custom flower grill (Kramer mod) too. It improves the bass on the KSC75, from my personal experience. https://www.printables.com/model/1412670-flower-grill-for-koss-headphones-kramer-mod

Each of these mods are free, will always be free, and you are completely free to make any modifications you wish to make.

Edit: also, if anyone feels like selling kits, go ahead. The license has been chosen carefully to allow this. I will not be doing any commerce.

If you don't have a 3d printer, there are services like jlc3dp and pcbway which can print this for you at affordable prices.

Have a fine day, reddit ❤️

Is the microphone on the Koss Porta Pro headset modular?

I noticed the headset version has a screw where the mic attaches, and now I’m curious if all Porta Pros share the same structure or if it’s just a manufacturing shortcut.

I found a broken headset version locally and wondered if the mic could be transplanted to a regular Porta Pro.

They're just starting to roll in, but put together a little list of some of the early unboxing/reactions below I've seen for anyone interested. More unboxings vids will be rolling in with full reviews in the coming weeks. I believe we sent out a bout 30 review samples. We send samples to a full array of reviewers from casual listeners to audiophiles who will measure and go over every last detail.

Just dropped the unboxing video of the upcoming A/550 if you're interested seeing what's included, and get your first hands on look outside of marketing photos.

If you signed up for the weekly A/550 emails at Koss.com/a550-signup, be sure to check your inbox Tuesday for this week’s unboxing video 🫡

Also reviewers have received samples and unboxing videos are already starting to trickle in on various social media platforms with full reviews most likely in the coming week(s) if you’re looking for videos and reviews from anyone not Koss.

mmcx mod question / advice

i installed mmcx connectors on my kph40s but theres a bit of a wobble whenever the cable is inserted which causes the audio to cut out, any advice on this?

u/zawarud000ooo — 2 days ago

I know Koss co. folks hang out here. Given that (Mass)Drop was bought by Corsair and has dropped their entire inventory and all collaboration products from the market, what is the chance we see the return of the KSC75X or a similar new KSC75 model? It's a shame they're gone! Love the ear clips and would love to pick up a couple in proper black.

(In terms of new model feature wishlist, built-in bluetooth option would be awesome, tho I imagine it is difficult to fit the additional hardware without significantly impacting the weight or necessitating a redesign.)

I saw this on google years ago and i really want to replicate it with the paint and also the wires.

it seems like a great addition, as ive seen once on youtube that a guy ripped off the cable off the PCB when they were working out on a treadmill, so having a detachable cable seems like a great safety feature for the headphone.

I havent been able to find any youtube video on wiring and nor do i know where to buy any of these things.

I can definitely solder effectively however.

if you guys have any yt vids i would be delighted.

also i live outside of the US if that matters

This is the second time the MMCX leads have twisted off from the connector in my HUNDO adapters.

Any recommendations to prevent this? Fingernail polish on the threads?

I was close to rejecting the Porta Pro because they sounded a tad too muddy for my liking. Thank god I still had the KSC75 clips left and they really helped lifting the sound of the PP drivers. It might even be my favorite Koss combo.

u/FuriousKale — 14 days ago

can anyone recommend a good budget remote cable to upgrade my ksc75s with? it's the one thing keeping them from perfection for me.

i would much prefer a cable that i'd solder to them directly. my kscs are completely stock rn.
