The cable on my Mass KPH40X finally failed. I had bought this cable a while back for a different project but it was perfect for these. I don't get the hype on detachable cables on these so these just got soldered directly. Work perfectly and got this whole purple/green theme going on.

I know a lot of you have been waiting for A/550 to become available on Amazon Prime, today is that day.

Still working on getting our Amazon EU storefront up and running, but it is now available in the US on Amazon Prime.

I used two part clear epoxy instead of hot glue. The Yaxi ear pads are green but for some reason they look blue in the picture.

Long story short:

Gaming headsets are not comfy for me so I modified KSC75s into my Middle Rabbit Rampage 2 and loving it.

Long story long :D :

I was using Hyperx cloud 3s for gaming for the last 6 months and even though it's a monster for gaming and great battery life I hated the ergonomics. It was heavy and have put a lot of pressure on my head not to mention it made my hair messy and oily since I use it all day.

I was looking for an alternative headset and finally picked up the only 2.4 wireless (I don't wanna mess with bluetooth delay in games) head band I could find. I also didn't want TWS because terrible mic and battery performance.

After using the rampage by itself for a week I concluded that:

1. I hated the IEM's attached to it. They were bad for music and terrible for gaming (audio seperation sucked).

2. IEMs are not for me for gaming in mind since I would hear my own voice more than my buddies.

I knew i had to modify this headband since I liked the form factor and the mic performance. While doing some research for alternative speakers suprisingly Chat gpt introduced me to Koss. I had a couple of options but after some research I got the KSC75s.

After testing I loved the way KSC75s sound both playing music and games so I connected the speakers to the Rampage 2. I taped them and I have added rest of the cables as a support on the band side since now it has to hold a lot bigger headphones. I also added hot silicone to the driver side as an extra caution.

Positives:

Rampage 2 drives the KSC75s beautifully no details are lost.

Devices acts as a one piece headset and great for both music and gaming.

Negatives:

Drivers are 40% to 50% less loud then they were since standart IEMs attached to rampage 2 is 17 Ω and Koss requires 60 Ω. This wasn't a big issue personelly since used to listen at 40% volume anyway.

Battery life has been 25% reduced as device is now driven 100% most of the time.

Overall this monstrocity is 70 to 80 percent of the hyperx cloud 3s at least for me.

I couldn't find the perfect headset so I modified it costed me 76 euro and some elbow grease. Hope this helps to someone in future when they needed.

Also if you guys have any suggestions to make it look good or any upgrades in the future that would also be appreciated.
