    Us: can we have detachable cables?
    Koss: detachable everything!

  • @MosoKaiser
    @MosoKaiser Před 4 lety +47

    Wild guesstimate: the headband mounting pins have a wider, collar-like section at the end that fits in a space inside the yoke, shaped appropriately to allow for a certain degree of rotation. When thrown around, the stress gets concentrated right at the base of the pin where the collar starts, causing it to snap off very cleanly.
    If you're going to glue them in place, I wouldn't recommend super glue. It has low shearing strength and is hard but brittle, making the joint easy to break when used in a spot like that. Get some 2-part epoxy there instead.

  • @Vishmaw
    @Vishmaw Před 4 lety +32

    I can confirm they all break that way. I had 3 of them in a row break. Gave up after that lol. They do sound absolutely outstanding, if they take those drivers and put them in functional body they will have a major winner. They must sit on you ears correctly and you do indeed need to wait a few minutes for a good seal, but its one of the best headphones soundwise in the 150 dollar range once it does.

  • @eliotjacobsen4361

    Koss heard us say "we want detachable!" and they provided both a detachable cable AND detachable ear cups! Kidding of course. I'm glad to hear that these sound good and can be fixed . Thanks for explaining how. Does Koss also make an over-the-ear headphone that sounds great?

    They are GREAT headphones!!!! They are also have a lifetime warranty!!!! From my 1st Koss's, the Pro4AA (these were bought in 1972, I was in High School back then) to the my KPH30i, SP330s, SP540s. My collection of Koss headphones is over 40 (they all work). If they have a problem send them back, they will replace them.

  • @gregoryfrassetti1276
    @gregoryfrassetti1276 Před 4 lety +2

    Love me some good Koss as well. They do break unfortunately, so I'm glad they have the lifetime warranty. The only pair that have lasted the test of time are the Pro4S which I really enjoy. Oh and they have detachable cable, and can be plugged into either ear side, plus the one not in use can then have another pair of headphones plugged in to daisy chain into. Really cool stuff. Good bass and midbass a little bright on top.

    5:15 - Zeos, I think they have that much wire to accommodate the extending head band. Additionally, if you extend the head band all the way down, there will probably only be a tiny bit of excess wire. Hence, far less shoving.
    Also, "just shove it in there and keep shoving it in there..." That's what SHE said. ;-)

    I bought these about a month ago, direct from Koss for $50. To my ears, they're the best sounding cans Koss makes, hands down. I haven't had any problems with mine, but if Koss fixed any structural problems they may have and sold them for under $100, they'd have a big seller on their hands. For a more detailed--and focused--assessment, check out Tyll's review on Innerfidelity.

    Tried the Anker 3.5 on my 540s... you'd think it would work but there's a subtle difference in the design that won't let a standard cable fit. Was a major bummer because my 540s lost bass so I tried a wire swap. Sadly even after a retrofit (cut the shit out of the plastic to make room for a cable) the bass was gone. Ended up being Koss QC with a shitty solder on the gnd wire.

    Dude, WTAF?!?
    I couldn't bring myself to drop $100 on the SP330's knowing they were going to fall apart taking them out of the box, but $23 for the KPH30i's, how could I not (at the worst I would have some disposable headphones for my work computer)?
    I just finished up 90 minutes of listening out of the box (I had a hard time stopping), and these things are ridiculous. When I plugged them into my LG G7+ I was pleasantly surprised to see they are high enough impedance to trigger the amp into high power mode.
    My daily drivers (which cost over 25 times as much) aren't scared of them by any means, but the imaging, resolution, and extension are mind boggling for $23 headphones. I'm definitely a believer and will be listening to them a whole lot more this weekend.
    Thanks for the great recommendation.

    I own them. They isolate very good. They are comfortable to wear for like 2h . The sound is nice. It is not as good as my ATH-r70x. Soundstage is less layered ( a bit flat) the sub bass in to as deep. Highs are very good- clear but not hissy. But I needed something small to travel with on a plane or train. My girlfriend likes them even more than r70X ( but she is not an audiophile).
    So for 40 $ it is a sweet deal. They are not best HP in the world tho

    Isn’t there a super cheap parts-express headphones that can be harvested for their headband? Some youtuber mounts the KSC75s on them. Maybe 3D print the missing part.

      Yeah but you would have to wire them left to right. Because these aren't KSC75

    It would be so fucking cool to have a ZEOS / KOSS Signature Headphone!!!

    KSC75 on a parts express headband is still best DIY ever

    Isn't there someone out there who can mod the earpieces of these to a non-breaking headband?

    they are already out of stock. It looks like there is alot of Koss headphones with the same 35 ohm drivers he should review some of those. The Pro 4s seems to be the flagship of the 35 ohm headphones.

    I've had these in stock for years. They're absolutely nothing special sound wise, and not even comfortable. At all. Glad you like em though.

    Also I gotta say Zeos that closed back headphones are not enough for plane usage. FOR ME I cannot watch shows or listen to music without the sound of the plane intruding on everything. Luckily the Sony XM3's (fuck the long ass name) that I picked up for reasons are fantastic for on plane usage. My goodness I was able to watch movies, listen to music and sleep on the trip to Greece, with only my lower back injury bothering me.

    Better than Super Glue, use Sugru! It’s pretty expensive but super easy to use and because it’s a putty it won’t run and get everywhere. Buy these!

    Review the SP540 maybe that won't have that issue.
