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

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

My introduction to The Plug came by way of a web page about The Boosteroo, an in-line headphone amplifier. The author of the web page amended the page to say that he switched over to The Plug and did not need the amplifier anymore.

Given my nit about the Aiwa XD-DW1's low maximum volume,... Read full review »

Excellent Bang-For-Your-Buck Noise Cancellation for frequent flyers!

byrolaid01 Dec 10, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very compact, great price, good sound quality, comfortable, attractive
Cons No volume adjustment, in-line battery pack a bit heavy
Recommended it? Yes

I am a frequent flyer and have been enduring airline engine noise for quite some years. I purchased a portable DVD player for flying and I was so disappointed when I couldn't hear the audio from it because of the droning, ambient sound of the aircraft - even with what I thought were a very decent...

Great value ANR headset

byfokkercharlie Oct 11, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Decent noise-reduction, price
Cons Build-quality, less-than perfect comfort.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought these headphones more in hope than expectation, having also tried the Philips SHN2500, which didn't work at all.

Initial impressions are mixed- after finally penetrating the wretched packaging, the package includes a light, drawstring carry-bag, and a two-prong airline adapter,... Read full review »
