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

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 »

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 »

Good value - but avoid if your head is very large

byAndyman May 15, 2009

21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls

Pros Comfortable, good sound quality, effective noise cancelling, good value.

Cons May not be large enough for big heads. Fussy cable a pain in the butt.

Recommended it? Yes

I found these headphones to be an excellent value with good sound quality, decent noise suppression, comfortable ergonomics, and a friendly price. They make a nice seal on your head when you wear them, but they remain comfortable.

Sound quality is quite nice. I'm not one of those... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful, great-sounding alternative to Bose, for about one third the price.

Cons Earcups a bit on the snug side; external sound leakage.

Recommended it? Yes

HOW/WHY I FOUND THE AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-ANC7:

Once upon a time, my wife bought me a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones as a Christmas gift. They were, without a doubt, the finest headphones I've ever owned. They weren't made of the strongest stuff (after about 2 years of very light... Read full review »
