Summary: Fantastic!!!
Review: I live in a college apartment complex where my roommate constantly bugs me, the guy upstair's bed squeaks (a terrible sound), and the guys downstairs play their bass LOUD. When I picked up the Koss "The Plug" earbud headphones, it turned my annoying college life around. Their great. It totally blocks out other noises! I put these phones into my cd player, turn up the volume, and I can't hear a thing! I can't hear my roommate knock on the door to ask for favors (heheh), the bass downstairs is neutralized by the bass this plug emits, which is awesome. It took a while to fit in my ear, but I found it fits nicely when you let the end of the plug rest on the back of your ear. I highly reccomend these headphones. They fit nicely, have GREAT bass, and drown out everything outside. If I have any con, I'd say that I'm wary about the headphone life. It may not last very long seeing how fragile it looks. One of the tubes fell off on mine, but it's not a problem. But these plugs are so cheap you can easily and cheaply get a new pair! So buy it now!

Summary: High Quality Sound
Review: The best sound quality I ever heard out of ear plug stereophones. Inevitably they break though. I had to send in my stereophones twice under their Lifetime Warrant. They send back a new pair...

Summary: These things rule!
Review: I didn't know what to think, but these things sound great! They get rid of almost all other sound! And at this price? There also seems to be a little underground that's hacking these things to make them sound better. Sound better? How is this possible? Well, I might try just to see. But if I don't, I'm happy, happy, happy.

Summary: Not comfortable at all - even modified
Review: I owned a pair of the older (blue and yellow) Koss Plugs and I modified them to fit better using Flents earplugs instead of the one Koss supplied (see the Headwize website for modifications you can do.) Those worked ok (though they were still a little uncomfortable.) When I ordered this new version of Plugs I could not get them to fit right and the sound was really tinny. Fortunately I found the Sony EX-70LPs. Much more comfortable than these, thank goodness! No earphones fit everyone well, and the Koss earphones don't work well at all it you have shallow ears. The Sony's also cost three times more than the Koss, but the comfort is worth it.

Summary: Best economy earphones
Review: I used to own the KOSS KSC-50's, and those were the best earphones I've ever owned. Well, now these KOSS plugs are the best ones I've ever owned. -It's an earplug. It'll drown out all the other noise. If anyone knows about the [expensive] BOSE headphones with noise-reduction technology, this is better or if not, then close. -It also has the enormous bass that KOSS is famous for. It shakes my head, impressive. It also gives a lot of sound at lower volumes, so you get more output and longer battery life. -Doesn't leak sound. -Extra earplugs. SO what are the Plugs? The best way to describe it is an earplug with strong bass. NEGATIVES: You have to push the plugs into your ear. But you gotta do that with any earbud, plus these KOSS ones will stick and won't fall out if you're running. You also can't hear a thing that anyone else is saying to you, (which is pretty cool actually). This earphone's pretty special. It's not your basic run-of-the-mill earphone, you can sense the power put behind it. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. And the experience is trembling.

Summary: For the active user, DON'T BUY
Review: If you are an active user who doesn't dedicate their entire lives to making sure you take good care of your headphones, don't buy these headphones.
* The major problem with these headphones is that underneath the removable squishy inserts is a delicate tube that is easily breakable even if the squishy inserts are on the tube. I broke this tube within the first few days of use and had no more use for them.
* If you plan on keeping a close watch on these headphones and don't share them with others (therefore not spreading your earwax residue that builds up on the squishy inserts), than by all means buy them.

Summary: Great for Air Travel & Daily Commuting
Review: These headphones are awesome I got my first pair as a Christmas gift 6 years ago!?! I use them frequently (and was able to get replacement pads from Koss a few year after (when the originals were all ruined (I think they came with 8 pair)) they finally gave out a couple months ago (quite durrable)... I'm getting a replacement pair & I will be SO happy when they arrive!!! The best part is that they block out sound! Great for commuting & especially air travel (you get the movie for free too!! because they are the same standard plug as the rentals) and you don't have to hear a thing ~ even blocks out crying babies (sigh)... of course this isn't good if you are using them when cycling, running or walking around vehicular traffic ~ I wouldn't use then in those cases ~ too dangerous!!!

Summary: Excellent value with many good qualities
Review: I was intrigued by the raves for these very inexpensive headphones, and the Koss brand name convinced me to give them a try. I compared them to the Sennheiser HD56 headphones that I normally use for portables, and my AKG 240DF headphones that have been used by many studio engineers in recording albums. The Koss The Plug headphones have excellent dynamic range and sensitivity. This means that you will get more volume out of weaker amps, such as those found in multipurpose portables, like PDAs and portable synths, like the Yamaha QY series. They also have excellent bass, which together with the dynamic range, makes them excellent for any sort of modern dance music. Unlike another reviewer, I did not find any problem with the midrange or high end. I suspect that this perception some people have had, is due to the fact that increasing the bass automatically makes the midrange and highs seem muted - especially in headphones. As others have mentioned, the fit is critical to the sound quality. Read the instructions found on the inside of the card in the packaging. Even the orientation of the earphones in your ear can affect the sound. Experiment a little until you find the best sound. WARNING: These headphones can go very loud with portables that have decent amps (MP3 and CD players). Famous musicians like Pete Townsend and Jeff Baxter have hearing problems from hours of loud music - so be careful!

Summary: Less cord length than in the write up
Review: I purchased these specifically because I wanted a long cord and the description said 8 foot plug. Well I get it and it is only 4 feet long as per package and therefore unusable for my intended purpose. No wonder it has gone down in price if even the description can't be correct........

Summary: Cheap bass
Review: I totally agree with a previous reviewer. These do improve the bass, but at the expense of the mids and highs. Sound is very muddy. The foam plugs fit ok but the time it takes to place them in the ear properly was enough to make me decide these were not very practical.
