Koss Spark PLUG

Firstly, a little about my situation before I purchased these amazing little gadgets. I will be the first to admit, I'm not friendly to my headphones. They get dragged around, trodden on, bashed about in my bag, and put through far too much torment for each pair to last long, and so I normally find myself having to fork out for a new pair every few months.

I have discovered The Plug and hope all my fellow travellers will do the same soon ! Unlike some personal stereo earphones, The Plug doesn't leak sound and annoy anyone else.
