Product Description
SparkPlug headphones have been designed around the same principles used to protect the hearing of professional musicians and sound engineers. Both speakers use bearings which adapt automatically to the shape of the auditory canal, for stable and personalised listening.Having been properly isolated, the sound is much less agressive but still offers full, clear, wide spectrum with respect to lows and highs.SparkPlug headphones offer a high quality, unique auditive experience to best appreciate your favourite music.

Excellent
These work great for me. They seal well, which allows one to keep the volume down. The bass is great, some people even reduce it a bit with masking tape over the vent holes. Come with spare foam cones. The cones can be reversed to fit extra big ears.

=/
As soon as i recieved these headphones i noticed they were huge, although that has so far been the only problem. They have superb sound quality and a very comfortable fit and i would definatly recommend them. Only downside is i feel like they stick way to far out from ear.

Dire
After reading the reviews here, I opted for these to replace a pair of "gym in ears" (JVC marshmallows) that had seen the inside of a washing machine.
A poor choice.
The housing is rather uncomfortable, if you find the iPod ones uncomfortable these will also not suit. The sound is poor, flabby bass overwhelms the muted washed out mids and the highs are non-existent.
I tried running them in for 48 hours, they were still no better.
Replaced them with the Sennheiser CX300's, which are rather more expensive, but infinitely better.

Excellent in-ear units, but the cable is annoying
Great sound quality, and you can get to quite high volume without annoying your fellow train passengers. The cable is annoying as its rubbery and sticks to things (itself, clothes, furniture) so it snags and gets tangled easily.

BEST HEADPHONES EVER - AMAZING VALUE !!
Some people have find these headphones bassy or mushy - but they are not. These earphones do not add bass; they PRESERVE the bass that other earphones "lose". I recommend that people persevere with these earphones - soon you wont want to without them !!
I find these earphones perfect. The foam cushions mean they are comfortable and dont fall out of my ears, even when running. The sound quality is excellent. EQ is perfect and is balanced across rock, pop, R&B and dance. Also, because they are sound isolating, you dont have to have your mp3/cd player as loud which is better for you ears and those around you. The cuhions seem sturdy and replacements are readily available on ebay/amazon if you lose one (however a pack of 6 costs as much as the price of the headphones ??!!)
My only criticism is their looks - they ain't pretty. However, KOSS seem to do a set in blue/black with rounded ends called simple "PLUG". They are very similar in design and I would assume they sound equally good.
I recommend these to anyone who is looking for a quality set of headphones - and they only cost £10. Value cant be beat!!
I note that KOSS have also brought out their KEB24 headphones - I will try these next. I have high expectations based upon the KOSS Sparkplugs.
