Koss The Plug Earbuds

Pros: Great sound, portable.

Cons: Hard to get into ears, plugs wear out.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a pair of headphones to use on a train, these would be a good choice, but these don't do well with exercise.

Review: While riding the train to my summer job every morning, and for working out, I liked to listen to music. I needed new headphones, and when I saw these headphones, I decided to give them a try. These headphones have pretty good sound, but there are a...

Pros: Awesome Bass! Very comfortable. Excellent price for what you get!

Cons: A real pain to get in at first; treble could be better

The Bottom Line: Excellent for bass-addicts who can't listen to music without good bass! Be prepared to fiddle quite a lot to get them to stay comfortably in your ears!

Review: Before I start, don't be put off by the length of this review - it's all good stuff!

Having put up with some tinny little Sony earphones for ages, I desperately wanted some new earphones that would deliver great sound, but most importantly...

Pros: great sound, clear, good bass, great mid/upper

Cons: foam pads are only good for about 2 years' wear

Review: I was trying nearly every headphones I could find, to replace the wretchedly painful earbuds that came with my iPod. I finally tried these, despite being *sure* that they couldn't be any good. Not at under $20.

Hey, turns out my cynical...

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Extremely uneven frequency response. Sounds bad in almost all situations.

Review: A couple of years ago there were not all that many in-ear headphones to chose from and Koss Plugs were the only cheap ones. At that point there might have been some kind of justification in buying them. Things have change and now there are numerous...

Pros: Good ambient noise cancellation, impressive bass response, not too expensive

Cons: Hard to get a good fit to the ear

The Bottom Line: For great sound in noisy areas, these are great. They are hard to fit in the ear however, and they seem fragile.

Review: When I bought my PocketPC PDA, I started using it to play MP3 and WMA and needed to get some portable headphones that I could use when walking on campus or at work. I tried a few different models that my friends had, and I decided to get the Koss...

Pros: Great Bass, Amazing sound, Good fit!, Total sound isolation.

Cons: Costly, Questionable durability?

The Bottom Line: This is the best purchase I have ever made. I hope to alleviate any sort of doubts I had about this pair of phones.

Review: Summary

Though I was questioning whether these would be a better choice than Sony's MDR-Q33LP/S W.EAR Headphones, I realized I was comparing apples and oranges. Though the sound quality of the sony's may be slightly crisper, the bass lacks...

Pros: Bass loudness

Cons: Sound quality, Mute button

The Bottom Line: Koss The Plug delivers the most boom - not bang - for the buck. Period. Run - don't walk - away from this product!

Review: A salesperson at Best Buy persuaded me to try Koss The Plugs. At first I was moderately satisfied, but the novelty quickly wore off. The Sony MDR-EX70LP is a much better choice. Much better.

The Plug produces lots of bass. But the quality...

Pros: Good sound isolation- but this can be dangerous in some situations.

Cons: Extremely difficult to position correctly, uncomfortable, won't stay in place, sound is too bass-heavy, muffled.

The Bottom Line: Make sure you're comfortable wearing foam earplugs for hours on end before purchasing. For extreme bass lovers only (with the mod). Tinny and weak without the mod.

Review: I have small ears set close to my head, and I ve had a devil of a time finding the right earphones to wear with my MP3 player. You can t beat an earbud s ability to deliver soundwaves directly to your eardrum, but most earbud speakers are...

Pros: The best headphones I have ever used.

Cons: There is absolutely nothing bad to write about these wonderful earbuds.

Review: I use this both for my IPOD nano (when it decides to work that is, but that's another story).

The earbuds (the spark plug type), arrived today. Got them on ebay for $7.95. The best deal I ever got.

I just plugged them into my...

Pros: Excellent sound, fantastic bass response

Cons: Black Foam "plugs" made of potentially hazardous material

The Bottom Line: If you don't have allergies to worry about, you'll love them. I'd recommend them for quality and portability, but I'd strongly urge you to be careful.

Review: I have a love-hate relationship with these earbuds. I love the sound, I love the way they block out outside noise, I love how small they are. I love them from a technological point of view. Make sure you use these things with some sort of EQ, if you...
