I Can't Hear You

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you modify them right, they can make everything dead silent around you- great for travel. The price is right, although the sound could be better.
Review: These are my favorite noise-blocking headphones, you can't beat these for the price if you need noise blocking and portability.

Let me just say, as some of the negative reviews have noted, out of the box the sound quality kind of sucks and...

Flawed product

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: Interesting design, but a flawed product. Hopefully Koss fixed it in the new plug
Review: First of all, I understand that Koss has updated 'The Plug' so this review applies only to the older version.

I got these headphones hoping for a cheap portable set with decent sound. They almost provided this, although in the end they...

Worst Headphones Ever!

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: STAY AWAY!!!
Review: This is by far the most poorly designed pair of headphones ever!

To be fair, I will state their only advantage: they block out some sound. Their sound quality is average, for a set of portable headphones. The bass is alright, the high-end...

A great product

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2003
Review: Bought it for $12 at a military BX/PX store

great sound comes from a tube that is inserted into the ear (as opposed to the usual ear bud that is a small speaker inserted in your ear causing discomfort).

Strongly recommended,...

Pretty Stinkin Cool For The Price

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: Despite some vehemently negative reviews I've seen, I consider these to be the absolute best combination of features and price in this genre of earbuds
Review: I use mine in the gym exclusively, and have no problems either keeping them in, or with discomfort- I forget they are there and wonder why I can't hear what anyone is saying in between tunes.
The sound is as good as any set I have ever used,...

still looking for the perfect workout headphones

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: buy these if you're not going to use them everyday, don't mind the hassle of putting them on, and want good sound in a very low profile package.
Review: i've had a pair of these for a year now, and i've lost all the plugs that fit my ear.
the plugs that did fit needed to be replaced anyways, from numerous times "smooshing" them to get them in, they started to fall to pieces, sometimes leaving...

Bluesman NY: reviews the Plug and the Spark-Plug

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Low cost, excellent sound, great fit, blocks out noise, SUPER Bass
Review: I bought my first Koss Plug two years ago. It made my cheap little RCA Lyra Sound awesome - extra bass - I can play it on 'Flat' and still get good Bass. On 'Rock' and 'Jazz' EQ, it kicks butt.
I bought a second pair for me and one for my kid...

very frustrating

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2008
Review: I got these for two purposes: airplanes and exercise. They are a problem for both. Yes, the plug does block some outside noise and the sound is good. But trying to keep them in my ears is SO frustrating. They fall out constantly. I can't jog with...

Great sound at a price?

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great sound - no doubt about it. However, it has severe flaws in the weak foam and the flimsy, tangly wires. Some might find it uncomfortable.
Review: The pair that I bought from the Radioshack was fairly expensive. However, I had to try it out because it just looked so comfortable to wear. I could almost feel the soft cushiony buds inside my ear, isolating all sound, while shooting the audio of...

Bass that will rattle your head

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: They definately won't suit some listeners, but for reasons outlined below they're great for my needs. Buy if you want bass, leave if you like refinement.
Review: I've got to make a confession: I love unusual gadgets. And whilst a pair of earbuds may not seem unusual, earbuds with 10mm plastic stalks coming out of them are a novelty. So after deciding I needed to replace my out-of-the-box earphones that came...
