All user reviews for the Koss The Plug

I've been using the Koss in ear headphones for about 2 years and a half for listening with my iPod and I've found them to be a nice set of headphones. I got them for a great price online, so I decided to try them out and see if they were worth having. While I'm not 100% sold on the sound quality of the Koss headphones because I have never heard of the name brand before, as I find that the low end presence is a little bit much for my taste, they still do sound good and are definitely worth a try to see if you like the sound from them. I got sick of the standard Apple iPod headphones that just aren't comfortable and don't sound good at all, and these turned out to be a welcoming new pair of headphones that I could actually hear the full spectrum of what I was listening to. They are also pretty comfortable, especially when compared to the standard iPod headphones and the plastic caps come with a few different sizes to correctly fit your ear size. Like I stated before, I got a discount on these from a friend who worked at Koss, and I probably wouldn't have bought them otherwise because the normal price is pretty expensive. Koss makes some pretty good headphones, but most of them are too bottom heavy for my taste, with the Bose Intra in ear headphones included in that. If you are looking for a set of in ear headphones, I would definitely say that these are worth a try, but would also encourage those interested to look into some of the other options out there to compare them to, as these probably are not for everyone. Overall, Koss are a nice set of headphones that are bound to be popular because of their sleek design and the Koss name.

Rcemment Having invested in Apple MP3 player ... the supplied headphones, it is plutt nuts. So I shall decide to go looking for a new pair of Couteur. My girlfriend (yes, you will know everything or almost ...) had just ordered a pair of plug.

First you must know that the products can be ordered Koss directly on the site for a price significantly www.koss.com infrieur pay the price in our European country. To be concrete, we have t Plug the book is $ 99 for 20 in 1840 (commission of the bank for change included!) Since almost half price 'Plug in France are sold gnralement 30! For the time limit, take about 10 days of patience.

It is true that the product has a somewhat "cheap", the plastic quality seems to mean. The jack is nothing special except that it is golden for a better quality of connection time.
The plug is supplied with several bits of silicon the size and shape. You have to find one which best suits the morphology of your small or large ears. We must mix the silicone a while to be able to introduce holes in your Eustachien. Personally, neither I nor my friend have found these tips trs comfortable. We replaced them with ear plugs we perc tube to introduce the plug. The intrt is that these ear plugs are easier and knead pousent be in the best ear canal.

In terms of sound reproduction, you must first have a proper placement of the plug (o the importance of Chapter prcedent ...) otherwise the sound is mdiocre. Once in place, the rendering is correct with a severe dry prcis clear and sharp without being mtallique. The Stereo is the one can not but speak of a given "open", the spatialization is not terrible. This is certainly the technique of earplug. Ct comfort, there is a time to do it and then forget them ... Moreover, this is at least 25 minutes that I have in my ears ... They are trslgers!

Finally a sound reproduction equilibrated relative comfort. They must try and adopt them if you like.

I use it almost since it came out to cost the MD.

which is very well is that we are world cup (a little dangerous when you cross the street )
In the train or metro is really good: no need to put his background to hear the music.
Outdoor noise are atnus so we can be "in" his music longer without trashing the esgourdes!

A product of quality as always with Koss with his exellent

Soon to be a bit expensive for this type of product but with the quality there is nothing wrong ... guaranteed "life" ... Koss what.

I bought it a few months ago, and tips for me are impossible to use, so in a corner ... ... ... .... ... ... And ....

And recently with the obligation to take the subway .... I found the plug ... .... And I found the ideal solution with a new modification ... .... ... Radical.

Which is squarely to add on the tube ... .... earplugs ... .... remove material on each ball .... ... .. be a cone, and these become the paragon Plug in-ear ... ... .. bass deep and dry, excellent mediums .... and treble who are re good ... ... .... but it depends on the perfect adaptation to the canal .... so wait at least half an hour, do not hesitate to adjust often, from the time or they are completely sealed, the sound is progressing brilliant .... all the negative remarks and very exposed so far just completely disappear ....

Without those earplugs ... ... .. give up .... The sound and no one in this case.

For 2 h

By dint of hearing about it, we ended up trying forcment. This is the very FIRST TIME.

It is a time to choose the headset that fits the mix and understand how to take ... It took me a good 20 minutes if not more ... Especially once reached, it's not super enjoyable.

So the sound, it's true isolation is comfortable. I snaps fingers I hear little or nothing.

The grave is well visited. Nay, the bass is well made! So much so that we seem to hear even than that, as the instrument dominating the others. Nla not guess it, it is not feel, we hear note note. It's really impressive. The bassist will make progress much faster for sure.

For cons, the mdiums really creuss Rundu and treble is at least Reduces LGAL. I strongly recommend to have a source with a qualiseur worthy of the name.

Finally, for the price (you should know that such is rather expensive for Earphone and that I think we should be in the range of beginners), the sound is much better that comes out in conventional headset. This much, if only one will put the price there must be much better.

- How long have you use it?
yesterday

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
most: space. minimum: solid? (Just a guess, given the thinness of the son)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
not: difficult to find a store that allows to compare. I have a Sennheiser PX100 laptop for COST.

- How do you report qualitprix?
trs good (bought directly from the manufacturer's website for amricain 18.5 shipping)

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
yes

==> My analysis:

The Need: Rcent acqureur a USB key - Memup MP3 player, the headset is provided with a quality dplorable (although this will be arranged with a little lapping).
I possde headphones for portable Sennheiser PX100 but it is a little bulky compared an mp3 player and does not isolate collection outdoor noises.

Price: MSRP of 30 in France, about $ 38 while the United States at retail price is $ 15 :-(

The costs: before you listen, I first tried (only a ergonomically) the plugs supplied with DIFFERENT. Little diffrence in my case, standard plugs (cniques) Mountains in the standard sense seem to agree. To locate the comments that follow, I find the Sennheiser PX100 is enjoyable, but lack of openness and neutrality (the top-and bottom-serious mdium drool over the rest of the spectrum). Gots my music lead me to classical, jazz, rock the years 60-70. So the logical, you say: "Poor fellow! He loves neutrality and achte headphones boom-boom ...". Of course Nanmoins, I connected the Koss directly on my home CD player (like a Marantz CD80, 15kg and Tagus output in class A) in order to have an ide on benefits sound of a hardware known. So I pull The Plug the Manir which I put my ear plugs when I do the bike (well down, without mixing, by simply pushing it back towards the ear canal). Do not mchons our words: your exact is almost pathetic (no opening his butcher, no fever), despite an excellent sound insulation. Aaarrgghhh! One of the reasons I bought the Koss despite comments sometimes costs killing is that the curve measured by rponse Fnac (ok, blah, but hey .. .) is described as good in the high rev and low in the bass. I had dduit rponse the curve in the bass and treble dpend trs heavily on the fawn whose ports are Plug. New test costs an "asking" the plug in the ear (if I turn my head, they fall) of the acute but not severe penalty mdium, no sound insulation . Retry costs on trying to insrer Plug in the channel (just pushing in line, always) but more modrment that the very first time, then by stirring TRSL grement top-to-bottom and bottom-up so that the foam form and push a little to the collection's outdoor Koss: this time, the spectrum is equilibrated opening seems sup SUPERIORCOURT the PX100 (from memory, I was too lazy to do a comparative trial), the sound insulation is only lgrement Submitted. Do not think I'm soft on Plug for lack of references: although I am not big on costs at headphone, I have a stereo headset correct (a MBQuart PMB85 ago or 15 20 (1000FR), a competitor of the Jecklin Float II era, a little like the AKG K1000 today).

My Conclusion: A quality sound with a really honorable trs portable hardware (I have not pushed back tests with a set fi system, it is not his vocation), comfort (in my case ) trs acceptable, an extreme sensitivity of the fawn which INSRE in the ear, a TRS rapprt good quality-price 18.5. I do not jog in music but I do not think this headphone is the most suitable for a (if we want to keep the headphone firmly, we must push it with one's mouth the key).

I have these headphones for several months, the inclusion of these headphones is admittedly difficult, especially for people with narrow ear canal as in my case, I have plenty of time to find a posistion satisfesante succeed because the foam are quite Paisses but once this course pass these headphones are very impressive, hard to believe that such small earphones can have as good sound quality especially for this price. They come down very low frquence allowing them to return deep bass, the sound is quite balance. They are perfect for an MP3 player, you will not be around by the sounds between ranges, but by their low impedance they saturate slightly on powerful headphone outputs such as headphone amplifiers if they are growing very high volume of all same. At that price, worth ca, it is almost given.

- How long have you use it?
Soon 1 year
- What is so special that you like most and least?
+: The sound quality, easy insertion
-: The resistance of the son (still better than average, but still managed to break it by putting it in the pocket, I usually let them under my sweater to pull on)
The quality of the foam, they tear at the end of 2 / 3 months of use at least 2 times a day.
The view of the tube, I had to replace a headset for the insulation of an electric cable because the foam and the tube was blocked.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not just classical models provided with portable (referred to iriver and Sennheiser). The sound quality has nothing to do, I rediscovered songs.

- How would you rate the quality / price? Exelente, ais I had a € 25 with shipping (delivery in 3 days but, I needed immediately).

- With experience, you do again this choice? ... Certainly, I tate to send in warranty or repair it if it works and not buy (to get it faster).

Well, I hope you have informed in your search.

- How long have you use it?
About a year

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
What j'apprcis most and report quality price, sound great for the price finally see it as all of the same sources. If I plug the output of my small speakers crative, let's say it's horrible too low but hey I know it's the speakers I'm not worried. The cable end is fragile but is seems this is just apparently, no problem.
Otherwise the insertion can be difficult for some people, but it did not pos problem, I do not find them at all dsagrable be the opposite.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I have tried many of MODEL headphones but the ones I had not in the test and I t enjoyable surprise.

- How do you report qualitprix?
I find it excellent, they are more discreet trs.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
Without hsiter, when I'm trying my friends, I am to see them again some time with the same APRS finally russi if they pass them in their ears.

I withdraw two paintings for the establishment can s'avrer hard for some people (many actually).

- How long have you use it?
3 months

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The +: the sound insulation from the outside: before I had to push my bass IAudio thoroughly and, suddenly, when the piece was at the height it saturated. No problem with the "headphone", I put the bass at least on my walkman and they are excellent in the headphone. In short, it's perfect for me.
The -: not very ergonomic foam but hey, I have not tried all the forms that are provided with, so my opinion on this point will be completed later. As against the wire gets tangled easily and the tube may tend to come off, I always managed to recover.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Very little

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent: frankly the sound is great and for that price you can tolerate the wire get tangled a bit ...

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, I think, or else a slightly more advanced model in the same range (especially for returning foams up too fast for my taste and that keep me up well without too much pushing.)

Used for 5 months on the excellent MP3 iAUDIO X5L. I replaced the original ear because they do not when I ride my bike, and I do every day to go to work.

The sound is not bad, worse than the original headset, but better than other foam systems I tried, especially as most headphones in the same price range. They cash in the volumes necessary to use a city without exhausting, but it lacks a little definition: it is not very focused midrange and super super ventilated, but enough to begin to enjoy music with bass, treble , dynamics.

It is enough in the ear for the use I make, even if the foam systems are not, by far my favorite. It still moves a bit and then it's weird in the ear, it's pretty annoying to put on, it takes a little wax (sorry but true) ... but hey it's still usable even if not the top-level comfort, and still is what suits me best use (true headphones too dangerous to bike). In any case, it does not irritate the ear canal, which I was most afraid at first because I am quite sensitive on that side.

As the brothers: solid flat side, unclip it is a little, but it resets easily. The son quickly kinks, the materials are top ... But it's still ultimately a good value from my point of view (14 € on the net).

Only point on which I can not find a good solution: even pushed in, the term still strong enough that the wind is taken in the ears as soon as it reaches a low speed ...
