If you haven't already modded a pair of Koss headphones -- KSC75, Porta Pro, or KPH40 -- can you really call yourself a headphone enthusiast? I think not. In this episode of Wave Guide, I cover three common modifications for Koss headphones, including pad swaps, headband swaps, and even cable swaps. All of which you can use to customize your headphone to your own preferences, or do your own DIY repairs.

Thanks to HiFiGo for making Wave Guide possible.
