Summary: Had Sony, bought Koss, returned and bought Sony again
Comment: I've had a pair of Sony in-ear noise reduction headphones for a year and a half, and recently the left ear wire jolted loose (due to improper handling on the user's part). I turned to my fellow reviewers and decided on these cheaper Koss Plugs.
This is a mistake. I'm now used to the true sound isolation of Sony's in-ear headphones (Sony MDR-EX71SL Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones (Black)), as well as their rich sound output, including solid bass response that doesn't EVER static out. I don't listen to heavy bass, and I don't have to tweak my equalizer in my media player, but when I tried to get everything, from music to speech, to sound natural and rich through the Koss headphones, I got static at normal volume. As for sound isolation, the Sony headphones eat this pair alive.
I immediately packed these sub-standard headphones into their cheap packaging and sent them right back to Amazon, then ordered the real deal.
Sorry if I step on any toes, but this pair needs to grow a pair to compete with the MDR's.

Summary: best headphones I've found
Comment: Ear canal fatigue is almost non-existent. Bass-mid-trebble all good quality. Treat them with care and they'll last about a year of consisitent use. At some point the wire bindings will become loose but they all do, and these just sound better than any other headphones I've tried and are the most comfortable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Comfortable, & sound good.
Comment: I purchased these Koss earphones to use when I exercise. These are perfect because:
1. They're very comfortable.
2. They block the sound of the treadmill.
3. They STAY in my ears.
4. They sound good, too!
I can't speak about the longevity of them yet, because I haven't had them that long, but I believe if & when they need to be replaced, I will order another pair just like them.

Summary: Don't waste your Time and Money
Comment: I never take time to review products but this one deserves my time. It looks like the reviews in this page refer to a different product and not to the one I received from Digital Media Source. I ordered this product thinking on all the good reviews and thinking this was the "new version" of the product but instead it looks like I received the "very old" version. The package it came on was old. It didn't include foams in different sizes, just one replacement in the same size than the ones it had on. The only pro is that you can use this product as foam ear plugs to block outside noise... but you can also get a pair for less than $1 in your closest pharmacy. Also, the bass is so booming that it gave me a big headache within a few minutes (so buy a few aspirins too!). Very bad response in the high frequency (treble). I am going back to my old headphones.

Summary: Greatest ever
Comment: I hope they never stop making these, use a pair of these for a week you'll never want to give them up. I can't believe how much better they sound then ones that cost over $100!
