Summary: Godd bass, bad quality, bad fit., no customer support
Comment: The earphones has nice bass which is perfect for listening to hip hop music. The fit of the earphones is bad since it will constantly fall off during physical activity. I bought the ear plugs 1 months ago and it has stopped working because the wires of the ear plugs connecting the the mp3 player was broken, a sing of bad quality. To make things worse, customer suppport was unavailable-i called the koss customer support and received a recorded message stating that "its offices are relocating and uable to take any calls". What a waste of money for a bad earplug.

Summary: Kinda Fiddly
Comment: Sound is very bass-y, and they are a pain in the rear to get in your ear. Maybe good for setting down for a night of listening, but not that handy for on the go. I went back to my iPod buds.

Summary: Great Pair of Cheap Headphones
Comment: The review by FightOrFlight is pretty accurate. These are very good headphones for the money. Many complain about a booming bass tending to muddle the sound, but I tried FightOrFlight's technique of covering up the port-holes in the back of the headphones with scotch tape and then poking out half of the holes so as not to completely deaden the sound. The result was very good, clarity is excellent, imaging is good, the bass is still very present but not overpowering.
These are a big improvement over the stock iPod headphones. Make sure you have the fit properly or you may run into some problems. The fit is the only mild warning - my girlfriend, who has smaller ears than I do, complained that they felt very uncomfortable to the point of being painful in her ear. I haven't experienced this myself, but if you think you may have particularly small ears, the Spark Plug may not be for you.

Summary: Too Much Bass, Muddy, no Treble
Comment: I compared the Koss "Spark Plugs" to the Sony 829's, and there was no comparison. The Sony's sounded sooooo much better for about the same price (why buy a $300 MP3 player that sounds bad?). The heavy bass on the Koss was way too much (reminds me of an AM radio), no treble at all, I had to hyper adjust my equilizer and that still wasn't good enough to rescue the Koss earbuds.

However, the Sony's didn't fit my ear (they stayed in fine when I held both hands over my ears, but made typing difficult) and the Koss fit wonderfully. What's a person to do? I returned them both and will try the Sony 51's.

Summary: Great value
Comment: Fits me great.

I used these at the gym so block the sounds from the blaring TV's everywhere. With these I could knock the sound volume in half.

I think that the cord could be thicker, not for the sound value but a more rigged cable would not knot up like fishing line. I also miss the little collar that you can slip up to the earbuds to keep then from tangling. But overall very pleased with them.

A Portable headphone is a headphone that is used on-the-go. When used in your iPod or other portable player, you want to match superb sound with absolute comfort. That's when the Koss Spark Plug stereo earphone makes sense.

The SparkPlug features a dynamic element that is positioned just outside the ear and connected to a tubular port structure that is inserted on a soft expandable cushion into the ear canal. The soft foam cushion expands for a custom fit to improve isolation and enhance deep bass and treble clarity. Now with improved slow memory ear cushion made of hydrophillic, formed urethane, you are guaranteed a custom fit every time. Ths SparkPlug also featues a white cord to compliment many mp3 players. The fit enhances isolation when you want to plug out ambient sounds that interfere with the listening experience. The SparkPlug has a frequency response performance of 10Hz-20,000Hz and full Sound of Koss. Combined with your favorite music and a portable sound system, it is the ultimate accessory on the go. Built to last, The SparkPlug is covered under Koss' No-Questions-Asked Lifetime Warranty - the only warranty of its kind in the stereophone industry.
