Koss's innovative stereophones are designed to reduce outside noise so that you can enjoy full sounding music at a lower volume. These earphones make use of an ear-cusioning material that slowly expands in your ear canal to provide a custom fit and isolate your music from outside sound. Low impedance operation makes "the Plug" easy to drive from portable playeres, and they boast an impressive frequency responce at a rock bottom price. These are quite simply the best deal available in noise reducing, low cost earphones! Less
SOUND CLARITY provides Full Rich Sound for people with normal hearing and Enhanced Sound Clarity for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.

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

bytesseract Jun 17, 2003
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was 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...
Recommended it? No

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 uncomfortably large for me, and many of them have inferior... Read full review »

Mini but Mighty

Pros Small, Loud, Great Bass, Short Cord
Cons Annoying Mute Button, Overly Bright Treble
Recommended it? Yes

Huh? What'd You Say? My Sound Clarity Headphones Just Canceled Your Noise

byscmrak Jan 21, 2011
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros great sound reproduction, blocks noxious noises
Cons bulky, not compact
Recommended it? Yes

A twelve-hour flight sardined into a "cattle-car class" seat some years ago convinced this traveler to never again suffer through the experience without noise-canceling headphones. And it won't: yours truly bought some Able Planet Sound Clarity Headphones (NC500SC) with "Linx Audio" noise-canceling... Read full review »
