Koss KEB24 Portable Isolation Earbud (Green)

 (13 customer reviews)

I've been looking for earbuds that would be better than the original ipod ones. I even tried the earbuds from apple that go into the ear canal, but they were much to large. I guess I have small ear holes, but the smallest ear inserts fit me best. They fit comfortably in my ear.

I actually found these earbuds to be the most comfortable and best sounding earbuds I've ever had. I had to use the smallest size of the rubber covers, and for the first time ever, a pair of earbuds actually fit. I didn't find them uncomfortable, and I found the sound to be great for my purposes. If you're just looking for a comfortable pair of earbuds for a good price, I'd recommend these.

The only downfall I found was that the rubber can slip off sort of easily. I lost one on a plane once when I was putting my bag in the overhead compartment and the earbuds were around my neck.

These earphones produce an incredibly low amount of bass.
I was really shocked that anyone would produce earphones of this sound profile. I had to test it against my other phones to make sure that nothing was wrong with my audio player, computer, headphone jacks, settings, etc. Even a set of free throwaway earphones had much more bass.

I'm definitely not a bass head, but I think a minimum amount of bass is necessary for things to sound balanced. While the mids and highs are clear and crisp with these phones, I really cannot bear to use them for more than 5 minutes. It is tolerable for stuff like language learning audio, but seriously disrespects any form of music.

As others have mentioned, the cord shape is also weird and lays uncomfortably.
