Product Description
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. Reliable L plug for improved reliability and durability Straight, dual entry 4 foot cord

5 out of 5 stars A great price until checkout   November 17, 2008
Graet headset 2nd time I purchased the "Sparkplug". Nice sound and isolation for the money. To me they sound as good or better than the $30.00 sony phones they replaced. The shipping time was really fast, US mail as I recall. I just wish these companies would all disclose S&H costs before the end of checkout. A padded envelope could have been sent for "3 postage stamps "tops". I understand they need to pay someone for the boxing and so on but I don't like to be baited by the lowest price on the web, only to find high ball S&H charges. Were not stupid were going to see the total!!!! You prices and service are as good or better as anyone elses in the subtotal category This appears to be a good company, they should refrain from those practices


4 out of 5 stars Good solid product   November 7, 2008
Did my research, bought in quantity. Have gone thru about 3 pair in last 2 years, which is a pretty good lifespan for such an inexpensive product that I use for at least two hours every day as a runner. They stay securely in my ears, canceling some noise, offering pretty good sound quality. Much better than the original iPod set.

Only vulnerability is where the wire connects to the plug. Lots of repetitive jostling over time results in cracking of the thin wire. I've addressed the problem by simply wrapping some tape around that vulnerable point, which keeps the wire straight and unstressed.

I recommend it.



3 out of 5 stars Muffled Sound Ruins Good Design   November 3, 2008
Everyone has their preferences in phones and their dislikes.

I ordered these when I ordered the KEB-24s, thinking I'd like these more. These fit better but to my ears, they are muffled. I like the others better.



5 out of 5 stars The best low cost earbuds   October 22, 2008
These are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever used. The form fitting foam inserts are the best on the market and the frequency response is exemplary. Great bass and exceptional hights. For the price, there isn't a better set of personal earphones and even when price is considered, they rank near the top

Koss pioneered headphones way back when and they continue to be the standard for this type of device



5 out of 5 stars Great cheap ear buds!   October 16, 2008
Great sound quality for such a low price.

My favorite part is the squishy foam on the ear bud. You squish it and let it expand in your ear. This is great not only for blocking out some of the outside noise, but it keeps them in place.

I have no problems with these coming out when I exercise. They stay in even when you are upside down.
