Unreliable [Posted on 2008-09-18]
You definitely get what you pay for with these. Bought them because I had lost my iPod standard headphones for $14 at a local store. The cushioning of the earpieces made it possible to keep them in for long stretches of hours without ear soreness. The main issue with them was that they stopped working after 2 months. The wires attached to the inline mute button came loose on both ends, requiring 5-10 minutes of fiddling with the wires and positioning, until I could get a faint stream of music, which went away the second the wires shifted and were disconnected again. Koss customer support still hasn't responded to any of my emails for three weeks now.
Buy them if you just need cheap decent headphones, but don't be disappointed when you need to buy a new pair in a few months. At least for $14, you can afford it.
A pretty crude pair of earbuds [Posted on 2008-09-26]
At ten dollars, you get what you pay for. The Koss Sparkplugs are heavy on the bass, tinny at the top, and possess no discernible mid-range. If you believe strong bass equals quality sound, these might just be for you. Otherwise avoid. Suitable for beats but not much else.
Great for the price [Posted on 2008-10-07]
These plugs fit well because you squeeze them down to fit inside your ears. Once in they swell out and fit comfortably snug inside your ears. You don't need as much volume as other plugs because the ambient noise is attenuated well. The frequency response is okay. Good at the bass end, and okay for the rest of the spectrum. They're great for working in the yard or at the gym, because they don't fall out. They are well worth the $10 I spent for them.
Sparkplugs make your radio run [Posted on 2008-10-08]
These compact earplugs have great performance, keep out most exterior noise and transmit voice very well.
Another surprise: they don't tangle. Even after wrapping them around a mini-radio they extend to needed length quickly
They are ok but there are better products for same money [Posted on 2008-10-09]
When I bought these I was looking at them for my MP3 player. However, I found "Smokin Buds" Inkd earphones for same price and far superior comfort, sound and general wearability. My wife and daughter liked the fact that they could get colors to match their ipods- and neither of them liked the spark plugs- too "squishy" and too heavy, and they tend to slide out if exercising.
