KOSS Spark Plug Headphones --
Audiophile 'wanabe' here, so sound quality is important. Owned these for 4yrs & these are the best I've owned, better that all my expensive ones. For the price nothing comes close, nothing. Sound rates as follows: 10 Lows , 8 Mids , 8.9 Highs. With cheap DIY cushion mods on the net, these ratings are all 10's (no joke). They are loud as all in-ear headphones are. Sound isolation is equivalent to safety earplugs. Very comfortable, the longer I wear them, the less I notice them. They come out only when pulled out. The foam are easily replaceable or do a Mod to make it better

KOSS Spark Plug Headphones are great sounding and most of all very comfortable and light pair of phones

Now that you can get KOSS Spark Plug Headphones on-line for less than the $50 RRP, they're great value. Pretty good sound; certainly not absolute audiophile level, but heck, unless you're running FLAC or one of the other lossless codecs, the lossy codecs are a compromise on quality to begin with. Overall pretty good. And you can get around the excess-bass issue by putting cellotape over the rear bass ports; it tightens up the bass a bit and takes the 'bloom' out. Seemed reasonably durable; they survived in my backpack for about a couple of years and I didn't have an problems with the foams either. Mine finally died when one of the cables broke internally (got snagged and stretch beyond their limit).

KOSS Spark Plug Headphones have great Sound, great bass and the buds are a really snug fit. but poor durability. Both drivers went within a month. They'd only seen light use.

Will comfortably fit almost any ear, securely. Sound quality very good for this type of 'Bud'.
Works very well with mobile phone [N95 8GB] and laptop. I think that for the price it is hard to find better. Well recommend
KOSS Spark Plug Headphones.

The KOSS Spark Plug Headphones are good value for money but be ready for buying new foams and they cost almost same as the whole set.

KOSS Spark Plug Headphones Review - Although 2 pairs of the ear foam are included in the sales package, they wear out pretty fast and replacements may not be easy to source but otherwise the Spark Plugs are highly recommended for overall sound quality plus coupled with their high sensitivity, the volume level need not be cranked up too high

I bought these earbuds because i was looking for headphones with deep bass. these definitely do the trick. like having subwoofers in your earphones!!

Overall, the KOSS Spark Plug Headphones come highly recommended and are at steal at their bargain prices. In fact over the last two years I've bought around 4 pairs. Fortunately I've now found at amazon a supplier that will sell replacement ear plugs so they're even better value.

Generally these KOSS Spark Plug are really good set of headphones with outstanding sound quality for both the price and the size, and the overzealous bass can be corrected by using eq profiles or altering the eq on your player/pc/laptop etc.

I am on my 2nd set now, first set got "lost" along with my mp3 player somewhere between home and the gym, I like them so much, I just bought exactly the same again, excellent value for money and also good at blocking out "pop music" in the gym.

Got these KOSS Spark Plug earphones from ebay for a tenner and have been well worth it, I listen to them for at least 4 hours a day at work and have held up to some real abuse. Nowadays the foam has degraded and they are quite hard to shove down your ear canal however you get two sets of foam and i've only used one (lost the others long ago) also i think the cones are starting to go as i get the odd crackle with some music, but rarely and not that bad.
For work they can be a bit of a nightmare as they really do cut out all background noise and I have been known to miss phone calls with my relatively loud phone about 16" away from my face!
Finally it may just be me and i believe it will be the same for all ear canal phones, sometimes after a day of listening music my brain feels kinda funny a bit like a headache but obviously started from my eardrums being vibrated (maybe I should be worried?).

If you are looking for an excellent sound quality and real comfort then you will be very sensible to get these Headphones from Koss. Recently though one of the earpieces stopped working which could have been my fault but it was of no consequence anyway. As soon as I contacted Koss they gave me the name of a UK supplier and within days they had sent me out a Brand new pair, now that is superb service in My book. No expensive 0870 phone calls no chasing up, no arguing with stupid Customer service people who cleverly call you a liar without saying it. HOW FANTASTIC...... By the way the Company were called HAMA and they were superb. Their Website is Hama.co.uk and I recommend them to you all.
THANK YOU KOSS AND THANK YOU HAMA YOU HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT COMPLETLY KILLED OFF YET.

Good synopsis of an amazing piece of kit for the price. I managed to get mine for under £10 including p&p. Much much better than the more expensine ones I've had and have.
