Customer Rating:      Summary: Very good headphones for the price Comment: I've bought these headphones recently and I'm very satisfied. As a drummer I needed some in-ear monitoring headphones and I got stuck with these. Very comfortable for my ears (soft cushions) and it dampens surroundings very much which is exactly what I wanted. The sound is good, not excellent but like I said, I use it only when I play. Highly recommended.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I love these little gems! Comment: These are great little headphones for the price. They're just like foam earplugs. There is a proper way to squish and insert earplugs, believe it or not. Most people just press a couple times without any thought and shove. You have to "roll" these between your fingertips really well, evenly, over and over. If you don't, they will expand too fast and you'll have trouble, especially when new. The more you use them, the better they get until the foam finally breaks down and you go to the replacement foam. I only use these when traveling and they knock down the noise down from planes, considerably. These are your best bet for the money. Ignore the reviewers that state that their double and triple priced headphone are better. DUH!!! What would you expect!!! If you buy a car for 10,000 don't expect 20,000 or 30,000 dollar features and performance. Someone actually compared these to 80 dollar Shure headphones!!! Also, any self-proclaimed, pretentious, audiophile that buys these for 10 bucks and expects audiophile performance is just being ridiculous. Come back to Earth, please. I have used these on all forms of media and have yet to be disappointed. They will definitely show the flaws in any recordings because the sound is isolated and aimed directly at your eardrum. This is one reason I would NEVER give it to a little kid. If you like to save space on your Ipod and go with a low quality setting, your mistake will be painfully obvious. It will also be painfully obvious when you listen to the some of the cheap/low quality recordings and incompetent audio engineers of late.
These will not fit everybody's ears on the entire planet!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Koss protable headphones Comment: Product is great, but supplier is a cheat. Charged $5.40 each for 4 headphone sets but then added $23.90 S+H making order total $45.86
even though supplier stated they charge only $2.50 per order which means the total should have been $24.46.
Good luck trying emailing supplier to get resolution. Good luck.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Decent sound, great earplugs Comment: The sound is decent, though if you're willing to spend 20 times more, you're bound to do better. Bass is mushy, mid-range and treble are very good. The earbud is a very snug fit in my ear (and the package includes several sizes of earbuds that should guarantee a good fit for most people). The rubber material is very soft, so to mold them to your ear, you squeeze them down with your fingers, then insert into your ear, and the earbuds will then expand back to completely fill your ear canal.
The earbuds function as earplugs with the sound off or low, so although they are not "noise cancelling", they do a good job of reducing ambient noise on, say, long airplane rides. You can use them instead of airline-supplied headphones, though they are so efficient that you may not be able to turn the volume down low enough.
All in all, the price-performance is excellent. You won't have to worry if your cat decides to eat the earbuds (as mine did - which is why I'm buying a few extra pairs just now).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Finally, an earphone, earbud or whatever that WORK's !!!! Comment: Not a lengthy review. Just my 2ยข to tell everyone who's curious about
these KOSS "Plug's" as I was a week ago.
Very comfy in my ear. Stay put w/o falling-out.
GREAT sound, deep bass & I still hear the highs too.
Brings my mp3 player "ALIVE" at last.
The free extra set of "rubber/foam" tips is great!
Mine came in "BLACK", although any of the available colors
look great IMO.
I started to buy the newer version of the KOSS earplugs
called the "SparkPlug", but after reading alot of user
reviews, opted to buy these instead.
They are well worth the $14. Don't hesitate if you're considering this
brand. They have a LIFETIME guarantee (no questions asked).
You'll be glad you got them...
Hard to believe that some other brands sell for upwards of several hundred dollars.
They simply CAN'T sound much (if ANY) better than these do. PERIOD
