I've seen these on ebay, and they look a pretty good deal to me.

I know the Etymotic ear plugs fit, because i have Etymotic earplugs and they're fine.

Are they worth getting? or will they just be junk?

Also whats the difference between "The Plug" and "The Spark Plug"

Thanks for any help.

(I havent got enough posts to put links so I've left the ebay item numbers.)

Koss Plugs are said to be some of the worst in-ear headphones ever.

I don't know how better isolation is going to affect the sound.

the koss earplugs rock,there realli for onli deep bass,i have em,its killer with my ipod,jus becuz a pair of headphones is more expensive doesnt mean its better

[NawdaKh]

Wow. I never said the more expensive they are, the better they are.

The THD on the Koss plugs are .3%!!!!

That's terrible, even for the price... Sony's $19.99 phones are less than .1% (which is still not that great).

That's my two cents. But to every man their opinion.

I'll stick to my HD495s...

[Chrispy108]

But surely any in ear phone that doesn't create a good seal is going to sound crap?

What are the HD495s?

[NawdaKh]

I'm trying to say the quality of the speakers aren't that great.

I'm sorry, the HD495 are Sennheiser headphones.

Over the ear headphones . Big ones.

[NawdaKh]

Oh come on, they're smaller than their high end stuff... by far. ;)

[Macromedia]

True but compared to earbudes they're huge.

Just by looking at the Koss' picture, the big round cup will prevent you from inserting the buds far enough into your ear for a good seal.

Well, $20 bux versus $100 bux, u gotta figure there is a catch.
