The Ultimate Koss Mod

Hi This is a long over due Project of mine, I got bored last winter and so I have actually built this headphone, and built it however it just took longer tuning it than I thought it would be due to life happening. Sorry if the Video is a bit too quiet.

To do this mod you would have to disassemble the earcups of the AKG and desolder the wires on the Koss than you essentially swap out the driver of the of the AKG and inset the Koss as it is into the headphone, no Kramer mod (I don't trust myself to not just stab through the Koss driver), and you would keep the Koss foam in it too, one thing to note is that you would have to use a soldering iron to melt or something to trim down the 3 and 9 o'clock position so the internal mechanism of the AKG's hinge can actually fit back in.

The Sound without the tuning foam the treble is too sharp, and the foam helps with taming that, it also sound too bloated with the Velour pad, thats why I went with the Micro Sueded pads. overall the headphone sound very tactile (a bit too tactile sometimes), and overall on the leaner bass side with just a little bit of upper bass warmth. imaging is a bit meh for gaming but fine for music listening.

Feel Free to ask any questions

Is this a Hot take?

Say you have $45k to spend, instead of buying a new old reliable Lexus/toyota, why not spend say half the money of something that so more fun more entertaining and objectively better used German / JDM sports cars, for $30k, than save the remaining $15k for any repairs and maintenance down the line (air suspension, rod bearings, headbolts, ims bearings, or Vanos rebuild and etc).

Plus driving a slightly used luxury cars as shallow as this seems, to the layman you get a little more “respect”, it made you look rich

I have a 2002 S600 with the 5.8L V12, and recently it have developed some misfire codes, of course given it is the entire Left bank of cylinders I would assume it is a bad coil pack and I ordered a refurb one form Ebay after I installed them the car ran fine for 5 minutes, than these codes come back again and the car misfires. so this got me thinking maybe its not the coils could it be a bad fuse? That is why I started investigating the fuse box and looking up fuse diagrams.

Additionally some extra explanation of why I didn't immediately think its the spark plugs is becuase I have changed the spark plugs maybe like 20kmiles or 5 or so years ago. And I don't think it is the Voltage regulator/supply module's fault as that one have been replaced by dealer a couple years back as well.

looking for any suggestion, regarding this issue,

thanks in advance

This one is for u/Objective_Spring_682 This is done with a controller becuase it is more comfortable for me, and all 7 laps are done while driving in automatic

The first 5 is with a levin with 250hp, and 0 weight reduction, stage 3 brakes 50brake bias and I kept my own tune in it because it was inefficient to copy an absolute horrendous setup and suffer 5 laps with it, first 5 laps averages 5:43.

the 6th lap was done with a levin with 250hp, stage 3 brakes 50 brake bias, and 0 weight reduction, and the rest is stock and I did a 4:45

the 7th lap was done with the tune you provided and did a 5:52, but mind you I started my first lap at around 1:15am and by the time I got to using your setup to do a lap I was practically driving half awake and still beat your best in the 5 laps you posted.

And based on all these evidence the conclusion is that it is skill issue on your part, and its on you for not doing simple modification and tuning that can be done within 10 minutes to reach better laptimes, also all 7 goliath runs averages to around 5:45

And I will post a little more tomorrow with a Levin with full weight reduction 250hp, Stage 3 brakes and stock everything else, If I have time for this
