Koss ?The Plug? Earphones: A Tragedic Saga of Failures, Part 3

by  tesseract ,  Jun 17, 2003
17 out of 17 people found this review helpful.
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.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
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...

Mini but Mighty

by  timdunn ,  Jun 8, 2001
16 out of 16 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Small, Loud, Great Bass, Short Cord
Cons: Annoying Mute Button, Overly Bright Treble
The Bottom Line: If you like earbuds, these are a great pair. I told at least half a dozen of my friends and co-workers about these.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: My introduction to The Plug came by way of a web page about The Boosteroo, an in-line headphone amplifier. The author of the web page amended the page to say that he switched over to The Plug and did not need the amplifier anymore.

Given...

by  mtliu ,  Oct 17, 2001
12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Excellent bang for the buck. Excellent sounding. Perfect in-ear monitors for musicians. Lifetime warranty.
Cons: Sound different for everybody - more so than other types of headphones.
The Bottom Line: Comfortable, decent sounding, lightweight, isolating ear buds for $20 with a lifetime replacement warranty.Make sure you are getting the newest model.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Koss's original "Plug" headphones had many shortcomings listed in other reviews. If as if Koss read all these negative reviews and corrected all of them! Now there's service!

The hard plastic pipe has been replaced by a soft vinyl pipe...

12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Excellent sound, great fit, blocks out noise, durable
Cons: NO COMPLAINTS .. these are perfect...
The Bottom Line: Low cost, excellent sound, great fit, blocks out noise, SUPER Bass
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...

Awesome sound, but not what I was looking for

by  runningdan ,  Apr 26, 2004
12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
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.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...

HORRID!

by  LetItRut ,  Apr 24, 2001
12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
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!
This reviewer does not recommend 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...

Pretty Stinkin Cool For The Price

by  starrzan ,  Apr 13, 2004
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Very good sound, variety of plug configurations, noise limiting, comfortable, extremely affordable
Cons: plugs separate from drivers too easily, not sure how durable the foam is
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
This reviewer recommends this product.
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,...

A good idea at least

by  duckyone ,  Aug 30, 2005
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Attractive, decent sound quality
Cons: Tangle easily, won't stay in ears
The Bottom Line: Unless you don't plan on moving much or have ears that will keep these headphones in, I wouldn't use these earbud headphones.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I got these Koss earbud headphones for Christmas last year. I had been asked for them due to the fact that I often sit on regular headphones, smooshing them to beyond repair, and so I prefer earbuds or wireless headphones. My husband picked...

7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Low Cost, reasonable fidelity, ultra portability
Cons: Easy to lose pads, shifting fit alters sound.
The Bottom Line: Need decent portable sound on a low budget? Audition The Plug
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Is The Plug a serious player in the world of the audiophile headphone? No.

Is it a viable solution for the listener who wants tolerable sound in a low-cost, ultra-portable package?

Absolutely.

I purchased a set of these...

Plug What?

by  acqant ,  Jul 13, 2001
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Portable? Yes Decent sound? Yes
Cons: Comfort = 0 Comfort = 0 Comfort = 0
The Bottom Line: If you require a small portable headphone then by all means try the Koss plug. But not before looking (and trying) at some alternatives.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: My wife got me a set of THE PLUGS in December for Christmas when I asked for some headphones for work. I wanted something discreet that would not scream "I'm NOT LISTENING TO YOU.... I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU... etc.. etc..." When I saw them I...
