I read some post that they fit right on. Which replacement plugs do I get, the soft flex silicone or regular flex silicone? Are they all the same tube diameter? The Koss tips just rebound too fast, otherwise they would work just fine.
The regular tips fit me best and the other cylindrical tips are way too big to cram into my ear. What size shure tips should I get?

I find the sound is decent with a good EQ... Not even as good as the ipod buds (which are really pretty ok), BUT you get great isolation and comfort since it rests in foam in your ear. Considering the isolation it offers you could there would be marked sound improvement in a noisy place.
Worth the 12 buck. Although it will cost 10 more for tips...

Man, if Koss only improved the sound and fit they'd just have a killer seller.

Nope. They don't fit at all. The Plug tube is too large and won't fit into any of the Shure or Ety tips. You can actually tear the inner casing asunder and remove it from the foam tips (not without some tearing, however). Then the Koss tubes will go in. But now they're too loose, and the foamies aren't on very snug (came off in my ears - first time). You just use some teflon tape and wrap it around the tube until it gets 'fat' enough to snugly go in to this new, wider hole in the foam tip. Good luck.

You should head over to headwize, they have a whole page dedicated to mods for the plug. What i did was take some earplugs that i got at the store and made a hole to fit the plugs and that worked very well. I used the phone while i was traveling over the summer and they were great on the plane. The plugs have recently taken a backseat to my new in ear headphones. The shure e3c's that i purchased on that killer dell deal.
Hope that helps.
