Summary: must have's
Comment: This is my first review of a product. I was reading reviews on some upper level ear buds, when one of them said , "I wasted my money on these, I have some 10.00 Koss's that sound better" so I came over and checked them out. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, these provide the fullest sound of any earbuds I have ever tried. I have recomended them to all my friends and every single one has called me to thank me. Trust me, these are well worth the money to try them.

Summary: Huge Rave For These Inexpensive Headphones
Comment: I bought a 20 gig iPod about two years ago and use it mainly for commuting on busses/metro/walking/airplanes. I also do some jogging. I have tried at least five different headphones ranging from the original ear buds that came with my iPod (which wore out rather quickly) to Phillips, Sony, et cetera. I never spent more than $50 as I don't think headphones that I will abuse should cost any more than that, if that.
These are by far and away THE BEST I have bought.
Reasons I love them:
1. They don't have that silly behind-the-head-one-side-of-the-cord-three-times-as-long-as-the-other-getting-tangled-constantly-looking-stupid cords like so many earbuds do nowadays.
I like normal headphones. I don't need any tricks to how you wear them, thank you. I don't want to have to read instructions on how to put them on nor do I want to practice in the mirror until I get it right. These, mercifully, are normal headphones. If you have ever worn ear plugs (or not) you will have no trouble fitting them into you ears. Even if nature has decided that you, like me, are to be cursed with two completely different ears that are not completely identical down to the micrometer, these will still fit great and be so confortable and light as to not really know you are wearing them.
2. They stay in one place.
I have gotten great arm excercise in my constant re-adjustment of every d**n pair of headphones I have tried. With every step the sound changed because the headphones shifted. I walk around looking like someone trying to get a spiderweb off their head because I can never get consistent sound from headphones that won't stay where I put them. Not so with these. I put them in my head and they stay where I put them. No matter how much I run, or sweat, or fall down, or try unsuccessfully to do a cartwheel on the sidewalk for no apparent reason, they stay in and everything sounds great.
3. Great bass without feeling like I am listing to music with my head buried under a pillow or suddenly found myself underwater without noticing.
I have had my iPod's EQ set to Bass Booster for months because everything sounded tinny with earbuds, or Bass Reducer because with in ear phones everything sounded muffled. With these, I can set the EQ to rock (because I do, and that's the music that appeals to me) and the bass punches and pops, and the highs sting and are sharp, and the harmony, rare as it is, gives me goosebumps. I can hear everything.
One note: I did find that I get the best sound when the cord is pointed straight down, but it is good even if you are goofy and like the cord pointing towards your mouth or the top of your head (I actually tried this to see what it would look like to the other people on the metro).
4. They are cheap!!!
Ten bucks, people. You can't beat that. And these are far, and I mean FAR better than in-ear headphones I spent four times as much on.
If you don't like these headphones, I will swear off angry, high school metal for the next three or four days. I swear it. That's my guarantee. And I don't even know how to spell guarentee.
Love,
- P

Summary: Comfortable, full of bass Headphones - replaced iPOD headphones
Comment: I was looking for something to replace the headphones that came with my iPod since they're EXTREMELY uncomfortable but I do like the sound quality. I've been through about 3 different kinds. Some I've passed off due to comfort and some due to bad sound quality. These ear buds are like putting the small foamy ear plugs in your ears. I've always found them pretty comfortable and these headphones are the same. The sound quality is very different than the iPod ear buds and FULL OF BASS. They also certainly block out a lot of background noise. Like I said, they're like putting in the foamy earplugs. I highly recommend these headphones, especially like the price.

Summary: 5 stars only because its 10 dollars...
Comment: First of all, I think this is an over-rated product.
When a buyer doesn't take into account the price, then they realize its not everything they were looking for.
Yes, it sounds great, but the plug is a hassle to put in. The whole "roll up the cushion and insert and hold in ear" idea makes it a big turn off for me, mainly because there are many times when I do take off my earphones.
Also, if you put it too far into your ear, then the pointy thing in the earphones will stick out and cause a bruise in your ear.
I had to cut mine a little.
All in all, its good.
I give it 5 stars only because its 10 dollars.
I have the sony mdr-ex81lp and its only 20-30 dollars if u find it right...
go with that if u can...
if u wanna be cheap, get this...

Summary: Tried super expensive product, found these better!
Comment: I kid you not. Decided to splurge (over $300) on a super set of earphones for my ipod from Shure and hated them and sent them back. Then I tried these as a temporary solution and found them actually vastly superior in sound, aesthetics and discrete form. I simply love them. As a frequent traveller, I appreciate not hearing the usual yada yada on the airplane. Highly recommend them.

You won’t have to crank the volume to drown out noise pollution from cars, buses and airplanes with these Koss earbuds. They’re made with a special cushion material that forms in the ear for a comfortable custom fit and maximum noise reduction. High-quality stereophones deliver a big bass sound. Earbud-style design eliminates the headband hassle, as well as the pressure on your ears and itchiness of standard headphones. Lifetime limited manufacturer’s warranty. No. THE PLUG. Imported. 1Lx1/2" dia. Cable: 3-1/2’
