The HD280 pro headphones are full-sized, sealed headphones, that are light-weight, comfortable to wear, and with excellent sound quality. Because of their closed back-design, these headphones reduce outside noise, making them excellent for listening in noisy environments, either on stage, mass transit, or behind the wheels of steel. These headphones are tight fitting, extremely comfortable, and fully adjustable. Less

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

Sennheiser HD280Pro: A Dollar-for-Dollar Headphone Champ?

bysymbiosis Jun 8, 2006
83 Helpfuls 84 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent sound quality, construction, and comfort. Price. Noise blocking.
Cons Slightly quirky appearance, ear cups can get a bit warm with extended use.
Recommended it? Yes

Over the past few years, I have tried out (and reviewed) many sets of headphones from many different manufacturers. I have also tried a wire variety of styles and price ranges, from the $20 terrible sounding glorified earplug that is the Koss Spark Plug, all the way up to the large, over-the-ear,...

I have used these headphones for almost 2 years now. They are currently plugged into my home PC, where they are used primarily for listening to MP3's and playing games.

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

16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »
