Model overview based on user reviews  
The Koss Spark Plug headphones are praised for their excellent sound quality and powerful bass, making them a standout choice for many users. They offer superb noise isolation, especially useful in noisy environments like the metro. The soft polyurethane memory foam ear cushions provide comfort, although they can harden in cold weather. Some users noted that the rubber ear tips wear out over time and require replacement. While the headphones come with a spare pair of foam pads and a convenient carrying case, the sound range is described as compressed, with highs overwhelmed and mids washed out. The volume control is sensitive, adjusting quickly over a short slider distance. Despite these issues, the headphones are considered a good value for their price, though some users found them difficult to fit properly and preferred other models like the AKG321 for better mids and highs. Overall, the Koss Spark Plug headphones are a solid choice for those seeking affordable, bass-heavy earbuds with good sound insulation.

take it, you won’t regret it, you’ll also say thank you

Overall, these are awesome headphones for their class! Loud sound, rich bass, excellent noise isolation. Compared to "KOSS Porta Pro", earbuds are still better =))
Very good headphones!! Been using them for 1 year.. probably the best earbuds in my life for me! The sound quality is amazing! The isolation is excellent (when you ride the metro, you can only hear the music). Powerful bass. Soft inserts – after wearing them for 5 minutes, it feels like there's nothing in your ears. Your ears don't get tired. Suitable for any ears. KOSS is awesome!
few drawbacks: rubber plugs wear out (lose their shape), I needed 2 pairs of ear tips in a year. You can't wash the rubber, so you have to clean earwax with something handy. =)
Ruslan: use Koss Spark Plug more than year i recommend it should buy

Take the port pro
20 October 2014 
Those who have worn porta will never write SUPER in their lives. Absolutely different membrane quality. It will do just fine in traffic jams, but the sound quality leaves much to be desired. With ports, each frequency sounds separately, with these, everything is mixed. If the size of the ports doesn’t bother you, these ears are nothing to look at. Sound insulation is far from complete, average - high frequencies pass into the ears.
Good bass, a spare pair of foam pads, a cool bag with springy plate latches, fits well in the ears. G-plug.
The sound range is compressed, the highs are overwhelmed, and the mids are washed out. Fast wire, fast volume rheostat, from 25% to 100% volume adjustment occurs when moving 1.5mm with a total slider stroke of 4.5mm

The American company Koss has been proving for many years that it knows a lot about not only good sound, but also how to sell it. One of the proofs of this is the legendary model of Spark Plug headphones.

Originality

The design seems funny at first glance. Headphones resemble floats and look somewhat bulky. But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that everything is in its place and thought out to the smallest detail. Seemingly uncomfortable and rough, the ear cushions are made of soft polyurethane memory foam, so they sit perfectly in the ear and do not tyre. But in extreme cold, they harden and lose their elasticity.

Power

Soundproofing is almost complete. In addition, the sensitivity of 112 dB provides the radiators with a large output power. Therefore, the manufacturer thought out holes on the outer part of the case to remove excess sound pressure at a high volume level. The level itself is conveniently changed using the volume control on the cable.

The driver provides a powerful, accented sound at all frequencies, but the bass component is brought to the fore and is clearly audible under any conditions.

Reliability

Despite the impressive appearance, the model weighs just over 10 g, and has cable protection against bending at the junction with the plug and emitters. However it helps a little. The cable looks too thin, so it still doesn't hurt to protect it from breakage and fractures.

Spark Plug is offered by the manufacturer for only 20 USD. For the money, the best wired in-ear headphones simply cannot be found.

The unique design of the headphones directs the sound directly into the ear canal, providing excellent sound isolation and enjoying superior sound. L-shaped increases the life of the wire.
