What our shoppers say:
Stylish Design; Lightweight; and an 8' Cord
I have no complaints; I've had this device for two weeks now. Sound quality is as excellent (actually hear bass from male voices), and the mic follows suit. In my configuration, the headset is connected to a voice modem, part of my Computer Answering Machine program.\n\nJust for the record, I feel that Koss could have color coded the jacks properly. If you look really close, under strong light, you can see the mic logo (Gray), and the headset logo (Black). Normally manufacturers color code these jacks (pink) for the mic, and (green) for the headset.\n\nNormally, I do not like anything around my head, but this headset is so light, that there have been times, where I forgotten that I am wearing something on my head.\n\nGive it a try.
I purchased these Koss \"The Plug\" noise isolating earbuds 2 or 3 years ago at my local Walmart store and felt I'd hit the Earbud JACKPOT! For the price paid, \"The Plug\" earbuds have incredible sound and are very lightweight in the ear. You've got to 'knead' the foam earbuds a bit just b4 putting them in your ear(s)...then they'll swell to form a sealed fit once you've got them in place. I found it difficult at times to use these earbuds when the foam plugs were wet (from sweating while jogging). Another problem I had was there seems to be delicate wires inside. I've had to replace a couple pair because of one-sided earpiece failure, due to (internal) wiring failure\/breakage. Can't seem to find these earbuds available in stores locally anymore. If you've used them and had good results, you MIGHT want to get a pair (or two) NOW at www.walmart.com before they become phased out! (Seems to ALWAYS happen with things that 'work' for me...) I wish I'd known about them when I ran my 1st marathon in '03!! The more expensive (foamLESS) brand I was using kept falling out of my ear canals during the 26.1 mile event! Disastrous! These 'stay put' when I use them!

Even better than expected!
I bought this because I needed an external volume control since it's harder and harder to find them built into the headphones. So I bought this with moderate expectations as to how it would perform, and I was blown away! It actually amplifies the sound beyond what the headphones do and sounds fantastic! I absolutely love it! The only complaint or negative thing I would mention is that the volume control wheel is a little tiny thing, but it is still easy to use. I totally recommend this product!
If you buy very cheap earphones, you'll get very cheap results. I go through headphones\/earphones so much that these were my last pair. I now have bluetooth headphones. I knew these were going to be poor earphones, that's the reason why I bought them. I needed something cheap and temporary until I could afford some real headphones. My advice, buy these earphones for small, temporary, & short term uses. For that reason I give them 5 Stars, they are perfect for that. I also like loud music in my ears, if that's you too, don't get these for that kind of usage.
I use these for gaming and I needed a set that covers my whole ear and these do. The sound is great and the in-line volume is really convenient. I am shocked by the quality and the comfort. Take care of you stuff and these should last. I def recomend if your looking for a set that encloses your ears, instead of laying on the outside like a lot of more expensive Sony models you'll find at wal-mart.
I have better but more expensive headphones but for the price these are good. They are also very much noise canceling. I'm satisfied. I do wish the mic was of a higher impedance, it is a mismatch with one of my programs.

Great audio quality for the price.
I purchased these as a Christmas gift for my nephew and he loves them. They are not as expensive as others but the audio quality is excellent. The cushioned earpieces are an added bonus.
Compatible with most audio devices with a stereo mini jack
4' cable
Frequency response: 15Hz - 20kHz
What our shoppers say:
Great for hearing impaired
I'm hearing impaired but I am able to hear well with these headphones. I've tried lots of different brands and these are the best. The only bad thing about them is that they wear out quickly.
Improved signal transmission and conduction for cleaner, clearer sound
In-line volume control allows convenient adjustment of sound levels
What our shoppers say:
Mine is the UR22i
Same price but without the inline volume control. The headphones are not sensitive and your average line level output from mp3s and laptops may not drive it to a high enough levels for some loud music listening so a standalone headphone amp or a boostaroo might be needed. I like mine and it's a keeper, the sound is balanced, clean, and the mic is clear on making calls by voip on my ipod touch.
I've owned these for over 4 years now (I didn't buy from Walmart, but they are the same ones) and I like to jog. I was always having problems with the 'ear bud' type falling out while jogging listening to my iPod. The sound is pretty good for something this small (Over the years I have bought these for friends as gifts, because they were having a similar problem with the ear buds falling out). They 'clip' on around the ear and stay put, and they're pretty comfortable..good volume of sound with crisp clean highs and good bass...they allow for 'ambient' sound so that you can stay in contact with your environment as you jog, walk, or whatever. These are a great buy, and for those that I bought these for as 'gifts' have never gone back to their 'ear bud' type head phones. A 'must have' if you have problems with the 'bud' type head phones falling out of your ears.
Retractable mechanism for convenient cord management and easy portability
What our shoppers say:
Pretty good!
This was pretty good..was looking for a untangle earphone that wind up by itself...
Price as perfect and ship to my house.
One thing they can improve on is, you have to pull both the cord out at the same time or it seems to wind up wrong... wish they can make it so you pull one end instead ..

What our shoppers say:
Great sound and noise cancellation
Great sound and noise cancellation but it is too heavy. Also, the metal bar behind the neck prevents resting my head on headrest of my computer chair. I had to return it.
