Koss "The Plug" & Possible Allergic Reaction

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2003
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...

Great sound and comfort!

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2005
Review: Earbuds do not work for me, they hurt my ears and easily fall out. Quite by accident did I find "The Plug" by Koss. Wow, what a difference. They fit nicely and comfortably in the ear. I have worn them for many hours at a time without problems. The...

Forget the ear buds, go for "The Plug"

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: For the average user wanting sound and comfort better than ear buds and more portable than traditional headsets, these are great! Love the comfort, love the sound!
Review: Each person is different, but for me, especially in areas of noise, these are the only things I use. They stay in my ears great without hurting them (unlike ear buds, which KILL), enable me to hear the music or audio books without the background...

Excellent In-the-ear phones

Date of Review:  Jul 1, 2005
Review: These are excellent. I got them by accident from a brickAndMortar store, not online which wouldve been cheaper and now I im a happier commuter. The foam actually works as a firearm range plug. If you get the hang of it and screw it in your ear...

Almost Perfect!

Date of Review:  Sep 23, 2005
Review: As a professional recording engineer, portable music is a big part of my life. Koss was the first (that I was aware of) company to "get it." Every predecessor to the Plug was a pathetic design (not too dissimilar from the style that comes with the...

The Plug

Date of Review:  May 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: Good idea, foam is too soft and doesn't stay in ear well. Using a denser foam like those used for ear plugs would probably help.
Review: I bought them for active use, specifically snowboarding, but the foam is too soft to form properly to ear and as a result they don't stay in place or block out enough outside noise. Using a denser foam like those used in ear plugs would probably...

Plug What?

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2001
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.
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...

Amazing Sound, and Blocks Outside Noise!

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Anyone that buys these for normal use would be pleased because of the sound quality and noise blocking, unless they have weird ear canals that can't hold foam earplugs.
Review:
I just picked up a pair of these today at Best Buy for $22 out the door with tax, and I am tremendously impressed by the sound.

I drive 2 old military vehicles (a military Suburban-based CUCV command vehicle and an M35A2 "deuce and a...

GOT BASS? ...err... Yeah, but...

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: If chewing on Aspirin is your idea of fun, by all means, make the purchase. Otherwise, I can't recommend these things.
Review: Yet another product that I've bought that is more hype than actual product. The only benefits to these phones are the bass and that all other noise is blocked out that would have otherwise disturbed your music.

I bought these for $25...
