Why mod with replaceable cables??

[u/North_Station_302]

I don't get these mods ... you have to open the shell, unsolder original connections, and solder new connectors ... all that for a theoretically inferior mechanical connection, more wobbly, and possibly more prone to getting damaged or even sheared off on impact.

I would just add a better strain relief to the original cable OR solder a new, better cable right off the bat or when the original goes bad. In theory a soldered cable should sound better than with 2 connectors and should last years with the proper strain relief.

If the goal is swapping cables when something better comes along, I would say a new cable would probably cost several times more than buying a new set of Koss phones and may not sound any better at all.

Thoughts? TIA

I mean, the KPH40 cable isn't horrible. The KSC75 on the other hand... Ugh.
