Good sound and bass? No outside noise? Low priced? Look no further!!! [Posted on 2008-05-29]
Awesome product.
Nice fit doesn't let the noise get in and music barely gets out.
Strong bass! Nice clear sounds!
You squeeze the memory foam ear plugs(which you can find replacements at Amazon) and when they expand they lock tight and they don't fall off.
Nice price!
Best headphones I've used yet... If there's better, it must have the same ear plug memory foam technology, good idea.
bad fit [Posted on 2008-06-07]
I'm not sure if it's just me or if it's the phones themselves, but I have trouble fitting the cone-shaped cushions in my ears properly. The buds don't seat right in my ears, and fall out quite easily.
I prefer the traditional round ear buds which seem to fit my ears better.
good price and sound [Posted on 2008-06-11]
I use these with my ipod nano while at the gym or doing yardwork. The closed-in ear piece helps keep out the sound of the lawn mower or chatty gym-rats on their cell phones. These also have the deepest bass of any other earbuds I've tried -- too much for some, but those that like rock or metal should dig 'em.
A couple things to note: A brand new set might have a few issues with falling out, but once the cushions are "broken in" they stay in the ear with no problems. Also, the cushions occasionally soak up sweat and become soft and pinched in the ear. Lastly, they are almost alway gross after use!
It takes a while to get used to the pressure in the ear, but I can't switch after getting used to these.

Koss "The Plug" Portable Headphones are indeed best bang for your bucks!
This product still after many years still on the market tells you that people are still buying them for their reliability and excellent sound quality.
PROS:
[+] Best Sound for the money, well balanced bass, mids and highs
[+] Good construction and comfort
[+] Small enough to be tucked away
[+] Very good sound isolation and can be used in high noise environments
CONS:
[-] No con really but if you feel uncomfortable you can always modify the unit with other in-ear foams just use Google as your best friend
Note:
The new generation of KOSS Plug has slightly more hiss when you have very silent music the signal to noise ratio comes into play when there is improper impedance matching, I think it is due to the fact that they are now 16 ohms versus 32 ohms earlier? Correct me if I wrong.
This was my "Father's day" gift from my daughter, my earlier KOSS Plug earphones which I purchased 7 years back (which still works) had very disgusting foam material due to daily use and abuse which my daughter could not tolerate, Seeing me squeezing that dirty foam into my ears made her buy me a new set of earphones! The new foam materials are better and hope this will last a decade just as the other.
Buy with confidence these are excellent earphones!
Good Headphones [Posted on 2008-06-17]
I like these headphones because they fit and stay in my ears a lot better than the ipod factory headphones. I don't claim to be a sound expert, but these headphones sound great to my untrained ear. I would definately recomend the headphones to anyone who likes to be active while listening to music, such as exercising, or doing chores around the house.
