Tried to do this, went and bought like $50 worth of tools to mod $30 headphones, after 3 hours and burnt hands I finally did it, I really underestimated how tiny the connectors are.
this has motivated me to finally get around to doing this mod, thank you! only I wish I could get some yaxi pads for a reasonable price in my country 😒
@@sgaudiohive yeah they are some excellent headphones I use to love bass but now I prefer the 75s to the potaPro much more rounded sound and way better for phone calls 😄
Yaxi pads are really expensive for what it is but i found alternative (not as good as yaxi pads but still better than original). there is Poyatu pads on aliexpress they are 1$ for pair they are big and comfy i recommend it and u can literally buy 12 of them for price of yaxi pads so why not
You are amazing man, thank you so much for all this video. Very nice explanation and for all the links in the description. I just ordered all the parts. Can't wait to do this.
Thank you! This looks so easy a caveman can do it. 😁 Just ordered 2 pairs off of Drop a few days ago. Want one with PE Headband and one normal. This makes it even better. Makes me sad you like the KPH30is better but I really don't like ordering off of Amazon and Drop won't have another batch till the end of the month. Did so many video reviews. These are for the little gaming I do and DT770s are still to small for my ears. Thank you again, take care and stay safe.
hi, thanks for the tutorial! i've never done this sort of thing before and these headphones are a bit expensive where i live unlike in the west where people can buy them for like 10 bucks lol, so i want to make them more durable by replacing the apparently flimsy cable with a good one. but since i haven't done anything like this before, i'm afraid of screwing up and harming the headphones in any way. do you think a beginner can pull this off? it seems simple enough and i don't see much being done that can possibly harm the headphones but still i wanted to ask if i can somehow screw this up and ruin my headphones lmao
@@sgaudiohive thanks, i bought moondrop chus for quite a bit cheaper and the only problem i'm having is with the filters (i keep moving them slightly with my wacom pen to fix the problems lol) so i don't need to get ksc75s anymore
I also have a pair of Isine 20's and I don't like the 2 pin connectors I would much rather have mmcx. I am going to get some practice doing a few mod's and work and think about changing those out too. They are out of warranty so.
My KSC75 headphones always break around the ear, the wire shorts out or something. Someone told me to do a mmcx detachable mod to see if it would fix. It is $30 for a soldering iron but maybe I will do it. Sick of having to buy new KSC75 every time they break. These are not so cheap in Canada. Around $55 every time.
@@joshe2420 I think it's the best among the 3. Super all rounder and no fatiguing sound. Gonna definitely do the mmcx mod, and also I'm planning to Mod the earcups so they fit on the porta pro headbands! Gonna take a month for that tho
It's a blutack, it's called tack in some region. It's not used to clean the fingers actually, just reshaping it so it can hold things in different height or orientation. It can be used to clean grime and gunk of Iem and headphones at hard to reach places
Mmcx has different sizes in the connector? Because i don't know which cable to buy since it would not fit with that mmcx, and the link that you shared (the mmcx connector link) shows the price by "1P" but I don't know if it mean that it's just one piece of connector or it's a pair of connectors
The ksc75 scales up surprisingly well with upgrade cables, I'm currently using a super expensive high end cable (2k+) and it translates the price into performance very well
If one was to use female 2 pin 0.78mm connectors instead, do you believe epoxy would be enough to hold them in place? Probably won't be changing cables often but have my concerns about durability.
@@sgaudiohive Finally got all the parts and did the mod. Had quick setting epoxy on hand, it was a mess but I'm just glad it seems to have worked out. Thank you very much for your videos, they helped a ton. Update: Damn I love this set

This is my favorite KSC75 mod tutorial. Very clear and detailed.
Exactly what i was waiting for
yes!

I'm thinking about doing it, especially original cable broke down for some reason near the 3.5mm jack.
You could start with replacing the Jack first
Amazing video thank you very much
2:24 what mod are you / is he referring to?
I have a pair of those definitely doing that mod thanks.
thankx!
For the compny that makes handband mod, do you suggest buying there mmcx porta pro modded drivers?
damn I just spent 3 hours and one is done and working :), thanks for the vid tho
thanks king

There is little room for failure here, just cut a longer wire and you will be fine as there will be no work on the driver itself
@@sgaudiohive thanks, i bought moondrop chus for quite a bit cheaper and the only problem i'm having is with the filters (i keep moving them slightly with my wacom pen to fix the problems lol) so i don't need to get ksc75s anymore
Just wondering, you mentioned in the video that you were working on a video about soldering connectors. Is that video up? cuz i can't find it
Hey great videos! Just a small feedback, there's an echo when listening with headphones.
Ah there is, filmic pro have this weird reverb when recording with slightly higher levels, thanks for letting me know!
I also have a pair of Isine 20's and I don't like the 2 pin connectors I would much rather have mmcx. I am going to get some practice doing a few mod's and work and think about changing those out too. They are out of warranty so.

How do you do this with the ksc75x? They have glue on the strain relief.
Just cut the wires 2 cm below the strain relief and strip the rubber from there
@@sgaudiohive That's what I was going to do, just making sure. Thanks.
Great video! Are we ever going to see you mmcx mod the kph30i?
I would need to buy that headphone for the mod video, unfortunately I can't use company fund freely for those so videos are all self funded
Just got a pair of the kph30i !
@@sgaudiohive POG, how you like em? what mods do you plan on doing to them?

@@sgaudiohive there is also foam behind the driver, which some choose to take out (baffle mod) to make it more open and get better soundstage
What is the grey colored putty used in the video to hold the connectors for soldering and apparently to periodically clean his fingers?
It's a blutack, it's called tack in some region. It's not used to clean the fingers actually, just reshaping it so it can hold things in different height or orientation. It can be used to clean grime and gunk of Iem and headphones at hard to reach places
Hey I was wondering if I could just take the 0.78 connection from my IEMs and solder them on my Koss? Thanks. Great vid!
what is that clay thingy called that u put things to it and it holds them so u can solder stuff?
can super glue also be used to keep the mmcx connector in place?
Yes but it will not be as durable as there's not much surface area to hold them together properly
Is the tin necessary or can i just solder the 2 wires straight onto the connectors?
Is it possible to do a 2 pin mod for this? If not, why so?
It is possible, and yes the process is exactly the same except for the hole shape and size
Please do an episode on Razer hammer head v2 pro it has good driver with 32 ohms impedance but wire easily corroded
I have the wired bluetooth version of the hammerhead v2 with a damaged circuit, I can try on that after removing the RGB and stuff
after this can i attach earphone cable with a mic?
Finally ♡
Mmcx has different sizes in the connector? Because i don't know which cable to buy since it would not fit with that mmcx, and the link that you shared (the mmcx connector link) shows the price by "1P" but I don't know if it mean that it's just one piece of connector or it's a pair of connectors
What does this mod do?
What cable should you get for this?
The ksc75 scales up surprisingly well with upgrade cables, I'm currently using a super expensive high end cable (2k+) and it translates the price into performance very well
@@sgaudiohive link?
Do you mean for diy cable building or purchase?
@@sgaudiohive what brand of detachable cable do you have/use so that I may also purchase one for this mod lol

Yes it should

would it be cool if i can possibly commission these from you
What MMCX cable to buy for near to original KSC75 stock cable sound ?
Did your pair last longer ? It's anoying that keep break.
It does now that it's no longer hard wired and servicable
@@sgaudiohivetoo bad it's broken now ? Man.
Do a koss kph30i mod as well :)
Oh ya the video will be up at 9pm tonight
Is it possible to unsolder off original wires on the drivers and replace them? My left one does not work and i want to use different wires with mmcx
Oh yes, this video does exactly that
@@sgaudiohive thank you, do you have link for what solder you used?
@@PxlNinja not sure which he uses, but this is the best one i've used (and currently use) www.amazon.com/KESTER-SOLDER-32117-24-6040-0027-Diameter/dp/B00068IJPO/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=kester+solder&qid=1618582710&s=industrial&sr=1-2
chramer mod tuturial please
Oh yes we have that planned but it's taking awhile, busy period both covid
wish they came like this from the store, just the cable breaking is so annoying
is broo naked?
