Funnily enough, my KSC75 also died after around a month. Had PortaPros die on me before after fairly short amount of time. Then a wire ripped out after a moderate accidental tug on another pair. KOSS build quality/reliability is not what i would call good.

I don't wanna be rough on loss because they DO make good headphones. but one month of usage before breaking is straight up manufacturing future trash

I had a pair of ksc last me 2 years with daily use falling asleep with them on. My Porta pro have yet to break on me after 1 year of daily use as my otg headphone. It not hard to not break them, just treat the stuff you own with respect.

What is the defect, I have like 15 pairs and have only seen one pair that was from mass drop that had a defect.

Yikes, I've never seen one come like that. Bad luck my dude.

olqerergorp_etereum OP t1_j6jjdmt wrote

indeed, VERY back luck 😔

KOSS said I could send them back to them, but guess what, it's much much more expensive for me to do that, than to buy another pair from Amazon.

unless I find a way to fix this myself (or meet someone that can), this is a F for me.

what a shame

Looks like an easy fix to me, 1 minute solder job

Yeah, that cable just needs desoldered, twisted, then soldered back and it should be good

olqerergorp_etereum OP t1_j6jmovk wrote

well that sounds easily enough, I'll see if I can find someone to do the job for me for cheap, but that's another problem on it's on.

once fixed, how do you think I can prevent this from happening again?

Fukuramichan t1_j6jnjeq wrote

It probably came like that so it shouldn't happen again if it's resoldered the correct way

olqerergorp_etereum OP t1_j6jo0ja wrote

okay, thanks.

I saw some videos were people fill that cavity with super glue or something like that's i thought they did that so they prevent the cables from snapping

Conversely, for the price, I'd say the build is excellent.
