The Koss "Plug" is simply *horrible* in terms of sound. I bought two different pairs, and even did some of the "mods" found on the various headphone boards -- nothing can salvage these headphones. All boom, not much else. Their only redeeming quality is that they block noise. However, I'd spend $20 more and get the Sony EX70 if you need a "plug"-type earbud. For the money (<$20), the best earbuds I've heard (by a long shot) are the Sennheiser MX-500 which can be found for $15 - $20. I find them to be significantly better than the Sony 228s. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
