great work! btw, with the curly (hook) part of the cable, you can try using a hair dryer or a hot air gun to soften it and then straighten it. just don't melt the entire thing...
Great tutorial, thanks for the clear instructions! However, I think the red cable from the MMCX connector goes to the right pad on both phones. I think that is the central pin, which should go where the colored ones were from the original cable.
It is Koss sales. Out of touch with their customers and die hard fans. Guess enjoying music and other things in live must be a sin for the marketing department. Only thing they cone up for detachable cables is the over priced lock-in utility cable that is noting more then separate dongle-dac with connectors turned around. For assembly soldering a cable or mmcx connector is the same effort. And if Koss would provide a choice of several detachable cables options, pads and headbands, they could triple their revenue.
@ not at all. Utility cable is not detachable. It is just a failed commercial lock-in variant of a normal fixed cable combined with apple or android dongle dac. Koss just moved the connectors to the Y split and vastly charges ignorant customers way too much money for it.
Great thanks for the video my dude! Wanted to do this a couple years ago, but didnt know how, now I'm looking for headphones again and was thinking I should just get another pair of Porta Pros. Only thing stopping me was the cable. I greatly appreciate your video! Edit2: oh also! How long did it take for those to ship out of China?
Thanks for the comment! The cable kit took about two weeks to arrive. I highly recommend the Koss KPH40 over the Porta Pros. It’s got a detachable cable and somehow even better sound quality!
@@iamalexsun I would but I need something I know is gonna be relatively hardy+cheap. I'm incredibly rough on my headphones, to the point that most don't last 6 months. I've had a pair of Koss Porta-Pros before and they lasted at least over a year, even with me yanking on the cable a bunch. Eventually a driver went bad, though, so I got a different pair of headphones. I really just need a consistent backup right now that can survive the occasional rollover I might do to them while I sleep. X3 Nice bike btw

This is honestly the best tutorial out there for this mod. Thanks man
@@yis9259 Thank you! I’m glad it helped!
I refuse to solder, BUT you made it look easy. Just ordered the Porta Pros in beige and may look into this mod down the road. Thank you!
Lol, I am planning to have the same setup of Ipod+koss, here I thought I was the only one with this Ingenious idea
Just got myself a secondhand PP, might try this if feel fabulous.
great work!

Getting a pair of Porta Pro`s specifically for this lol, thanks for the video (:
Glad the video helped! You should check out the KPH40 as well, I like it much more than the Porta Pros!
Why don't Koss just update the design of all their headphones with connectors like this, it boggles the mind.

They did... It's called the utilities

Yes, this will work with the KPH40, exact same fit and procedure as well.
