I just watched the Zreviews on these and ordered them immediately. But I have to agree with Zeos. I would happily drop $25.00 on these (or even $30), if the had mmcx connectors on the end. I've sent KSC75s and Portapros back to Koss for warranty service and it's mostly because of the wire. If you can swap the wire out, that eliminates that problem.
