Lightweight and compact design; comparatively secure fit; supplied with multiple sets of earpiece covers; gold-plated miniplug.

Plastic in-ear tubes sometimes uncomfortable; tangle-prone, dual-entry cord; doesn't include carrying case.

Koss's The Plug earbuds have a firm-fitting, earplug-like design, but they sometimes feel a little too invasive.

Koss The Plug Headphones

 

While these buds are equipped with memory foam covering, it unfortunately did little to keep them in place (they tied for lowest score among the in-ears in that test). Testers also rated this Koss set the least comfortable and least attractive of the...

Good sound quality, Comfortable, Generous cable

Flimsy Build, Styling, Noise Cancellation

The sound quality is quite good, but the Plug feels flimsy and doesn't do the greatest job in regards to noise cancellation.

KOSS PLUG 07 Earbud Plug Stereo Earphone Item Number:N82E16826263032

 

The wires on the earphone supper thin and it make them easy to wear. The down side is the thin wires are the weak point . But they do have a Lifetime WARRANTY

Good sound easy to wear. LIFETIME Warranty.

To use the Lifetime Warranty you have to send $9.00 to Koss for shipping and handling plus pay the cost of shipping them to Koss. By the time your done it cost you more use the LIFETIME Warranty then the Earphone cost new.

i lost mine, perhaps missplaced them or my kids got a hold of them and tore it apart and my wife threw them away without letting me know.

Disappointing

 

Right earbud stopped working after two months of moderate use.

Sound isolation was pretty good

Bass was underwhelming, poor durability

Get what you pay for

 

Based on the feedback given here, I was expecting to get better bass and more ear comfort. For what I paid, though, it's not bad.

Poor bass, thin wires, plugs are uncomfortable and hard to replace.
