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

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 »

Maxell's NC-II is the budget winner in Noise Canceling headphones.

byopenroad Mar 29, 2005
49 Helpfuls 50 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, long battery life, decent audio quality, cancels a decent amount of noise.
Cons Artificial bass level, minor complaints with N.C. quality.
Recommended it? Yes

---- Why do I need 'Noise Canceling'? -----

During my last cross-country plane flight I was seated next to a young man wearing what appeared to be large silver earmuffs. At second glance I realized they were actually headphones, as if the large Bose logo on the side wasn't a hint. After... Read full review »

Great headphones, but not comparable to high end models

bydreammaker182 Jun 5, 2005
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Maxell's unit costs less and still are effective for those on a lower budget.
Cons Lower quality noise reduction may not be as attractive to those seeking high end...
Recommended it? Yes

ears. They look and feel solid too. These headphones easily fold for storage. Using a pouch supplied with the headset helps making cord and N.C. on/off slider safer when carrying it around. Noise canceling is good for low pitch noise. I haven't flown in them, but I've worn them in noisy places and... Read full review »
