Yeah, why use those cheap Koss KPH30i's??!? They are fine for outdoor activities where you would not want to use good headphones. There are far better headphones to use for testing.

0ZonE101Just messing around. It’s meant to be ridiculous. This amp sits in my classroom now with 250 ohm dt770 and my Dekoni Blues. I’m using it properly now.

Hi. A bump. I am looking to modding my KPH30i to be balanced also and planning to use MMCX too. Are there different MMCX connectors for balanced and single ended connections? Or can the same standard MMCX connector be used for balanced? It will be a 4.4mm balanced male at the other end. Thanks for any advice! (Maybe a link to a guide you used?)

I would say that there is an improvement in going to balanced, but don’t expect a complete night and day kind of thing. In the end, these are still just 20-30 dollar headphones. You’ll get less interference and noise, and most likely you’ll be using a highly quality cable that’s thicker than the one provided.
I honestly feel more than anything else that modding these headphones is good practice and potential gateway to attempting more mods on pricier headphones. It’s fun, and the experience and hearing the result is part of the enjoyment.
I would highly recommend the Yaxi pads. I thought that the Ultra mod was kind of excessive and goofy looking for such small and cheap headphones. Then again, to modify these, get the cable, and swapping yaxi pads, you’re doubling or even tripling the cost to improve cheap headphones. Money that you could have put toward a more expensive headphone. That would be the pessimist in me, but the act of exploration of your skills makes it worth the cost of modding these.
happy tinkering.

RyanPinThanks, @RyanPin! Already heard a huge jump in sound quality getting a new dac/amp (Khadas Tone 2 Pro). Probably it's going to be a year or two until my next big headphone purchase so want to make those KPK30i's sound as best they can :)
Also received my second pair of them so will definitely try Yaxi pads for using these outside.
However after longer listening - I do like the Ultra mod. It's just a couple of songs that sounded a bit too thin but generaly the comfort is so much better and sound is a slightly nicer. But I agree - they do look goofy :) Cheers!

BryanBenPH07Follow the mental gymnastics that is my setup
iphone to usb camera adapter to Dragonfly Red, to male to male 3.5mm adapter to female 3.5mm adapter to rca out.
for the headphones it’s the xlr to 2.5mm balanced and balanced mmcx cables into the Koss.
overly complicated.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
