I bought tons when Radio Shack had them at $5. The problem of audio only on one side is prominent in the original. 90% of my replacements are because of this issue. I hope these are better wired. The sound can't be beat for the price and I can wear these all day long, everywhere.

OMGWTFJUSTHAPPENEDFor sure. I need to know if the cable is going to be made of better materials before joining this drop. Maybe use the same one as used in the Porta Pro drop?

r-a-yThese actually look like a less durable cable used on another special edition PortaPro set I had that failed in two days.

waffle911About your special edition Porta Pro, is it the one released by Massdrop, the Porta Pro X?

r-a-yNo, they were a beige retro release directly through Koss, with the integrated mic in the cable for use with smartphones. It does look like they're using the same cables for these MassDrop releases, but since I'm now once bitten twice shy I haven't bought in to see first hand if that is indeed the case.

waffle911The Porta Pro X supposedly has a more, durable cable.
Here's a part of the product description:
> Engineered for durability, the Porta Pro X has a thicker cable with strain relief on the connector and a more robust “Y” split—common points of failure on the Porta Pro.
I'm hoping the same cable is part of the KSC75x.

r-a-yOne can only hope, but on mine the failure was the connection inside the driver, as it was for several other sets before it. If it is indeed that much more improved, I might be inclined to grab the PortaPro X just to swap the drivers and cable into the beige PortaPro headband.
