Koss The Plug Earbuds Consumer Headphones

Pros: Cheap, when modified with regular earplugs block out virtually all noise
Cons: Not-so-good sound quality, out-of-box fit not-so-good

These are my favorite noise-blocking headphones, you can't beat these for the price if you need noise blocking and portability.

Let me just say, as some of the negative reviews have noted, out of the box the sound quality kind of sucks and it...

Pros: Excellent sound, great fit, blocks out noise, durable
Cons: NO COMPLAINTS .. these are perfect...

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 (my wife ...

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

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, including ...

Pros: Great Bass, Amazing sound, Good fit!, Total sound isolation.
Cons: Costly, Questionable durability?

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: Not the worst sounding out there, good noise cancellation
Cons: Uncomfortable, possibly dangerous, fall out and are difficult to take in and out

First of all, I understand that Koss has updated 'The Plug' so this review applies only to the older version.

I got these headphones hoping for a cheap portable set with decent sound. They almost provided this, although in the end they were a...

Pros: Unquestionably the king of bass for budget earphones
Cons: Unquestionably un-foolproof insertion method

I've got to make a confession: I love unusual gadgets. And whilst a pair of earbuds may not seem unusual, earbuds with 10mm plastic stalks coming out of them are a novelty. So after deciding I needed to replace my out-of-the-box earphones that came with...

Pros: Portable? Yes Decent sound? Yes
Cons: Comfort = 0 Comfort = 0 Comfort = 0

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...

Pros: custom fit,mute button,sound
Cons: cost

I ride a motorcycle and live in ohio (no helmet required). Whether I wear a helmet or not the wind noise at my ears is loud. I was looking for headphones to wear that would stay in my ears with wind pulling on the cords and would have sound over the wind...

Pros: Cheap, light, good fit, excellent sound, very comfy
Cons: Easy to yank out, wires tangle easily

I have had my pair of "The Plug" earphones for a couple of years, so I have an older model. Mine came with several extra sets of the conical shaped inserts and none of the other weird geometric ones that are supplied with the current generation. For such ...

Pros: great noise filter, boosts volumes, light weight
Cons: hard to use at first, not for exercising

when i first got these i couldn't make these fit in my ears, they keep falling up. it took me a few tries to learn how to squish these things in better so they don't fall out. after i got used to them i'm like them more and more. they are great for com ...

Pros: Excellent sound, fantastic bass response
Cons: Black Foam "plugs" made of potentially hazardous material

I have a love-hate relationship with these earbuds. I love the sound, I love the way they block out ...

Pros: HEAVY BASS, blocks out sound
Cons: doesn't stay in ear, treble is a bit muted

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 (first...

Pros: Great sound quality, great comfort, stay in the ears
Cons: Possible bass distortion, plastic sections can come apart.

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 noise of ...

Pros: great bass, with very low distortion at high volume.
Cons: impossible to get in your ear properly, earbuds deteriorate over time

i've had a pair of these for a year now, and i've lost all the plugs that fit my ear.
the plugs that did fit needed to be replaced anyways, from numerous times "smooshing" them to get them in, they started to fall to pieces, sometimes leaving little...

Pros: Comfort, built quality
Cons: Crappy bass, crappy mid, crappy treble. The sound are crappy.

The is the most crappy earphone I've ever owned(Even my $9 Phillip earphone sounds better than this). Kinda disappointed with Koss for producing such a product. I do not know which Plug model it is, but it does not have mute button and the connector are...
