Working out, staying in, or getting out of town—the lightweight, sport-friendly KSC75X headphones will keep the music going every step of the way. A revision of the company’s KSC75 model, this collaboration has the same clip-on, on-ear style, now with a custom midnight blue colorway and a one-touch remote for controlling tracks and taking calls Read More
The KSC75 is a beautiful sounding headphones, however the connecting wires is very frail with constant usage.
How can you mod them to MMCX or 2 pin cable connection?
I didn't mod the connection type. I opened them up - very easy to do - and went down to the dollar store and got some resin/hardener glue and mixed some up. I put a bit of resin over the wires where they are soldered on and let it dry then reassembled. The resin is non conductive so it works well. Those wires are not coming off
A dynamic driver is the standard method that speakers and headphones use to produce sound. Basically, there's a magnet surrounding a circular piece of wire called the "voice coil," and when an electrical current is sent through that wire, it moves. The wire is attached to the back of a diaphragm, so when the wire moves, the diaphragm moves, and it pushes air as a result. Vibrate this diaphragm fast enough, and it will resonate and make sound. Most headphones use this method to make sound, though there are also planar magnetic headphones (check out Drop's HE4XX or Ether CX for an example), Electrostatic headphones (like Drop's Koss ESP/95X), and balanced armatures (which can be found in the Drop Nuforce EDC3, for example).
Fine for weightlifting (all sorts), martial arts practice, stretching (even inversions for the most part), treadmill. Pretty much all I do. The KSC-75 has been my go to for the gym for 15 years now.
There technically "shouldn't" be since it's the same other than the color of the plastic and the wire is different and has microphone and button on the Drop version, but many people, including myself, do hear a difference, with the regular KSC75 sounding slightly better. Perhaps the thicker wire and lack of microphone and button allow for better audio signal? Either way, the difference is relatively minor. I would say that if you need the in-line mic, then get the Drop version and if you don't need/want the in-line mic and don't mind the silver color instead of black, then get the regular ones for possibly? better sound quality.
