Really easy to solder with the right tools and a replacement wire. As my first modding project I swapped in a detachable cable using mmcx connectors. Zero reason to send them back to Koss.

I also like the KPH30i's more. I could be imagining it, or maybe my hearing was different many years ago, but I had a set of Porta Pros maybe 30 years ago and I didn't remember them sounding as cloudy as the ones I got a few years ago. I do own both though, and to me, the KPH30i's seem to sparkle a bit more and just sound better. Seems counter-intuitive given the price point and cheaper construction of the KPH's, but there you have it.

AMC4x4Late to reply again. I've switched over to the KPH40 Utility at this point. Super durable, and the only mod needed is a yaxi pad swap for comfort. Would recommend.
Also, commenting on the differences between Porta Pro and the KPH30i, main difference for me was the clamp. The clamp of the Porta Pro produced a really boomy bass that, while fun, just wasn't as comfortable or clean as the KPH30i. The KPH40 is basically most of the mods I was doing above minus the Yaxi Pads. A touch more expensive at $40 not including cable swaps though.

Here's something easier.....send them to Koss, with a detailed explanation of what the issue is, along with a check/money order for $9. I about 2 weeks, you'll have them back, just like the day you bought them. Hpoe this helps.

I'm interested to learn about the fit of these IEMs; from an outward appearance, they look like they're designed to pop right out of the ear. I can't see a structure that might help them sit within the ear well. Anyone have insight here?

Are there any official/unofficial replaceable headbands/head cushion for the DT 177X GO? My current one has gone through some wear and tear and is in need of being replaced. Anybody have any sources they can share?

Would this be a good match (for my hard to drive) HFM HE560 Phones? My magni sound good but seems a bit underpowered. Any help please, Thanks.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
