Summary: Buy from Koss
Comment: These will become necessary if you own Koss Plug or Spark Plug ear buds, as they they wear out after a while.
However, you can buy them from Amazon for the current listed price of $9.99 for six pair (approx. $1.67 a pair) or you can buy them directly from Koss in a package of five pair for $5. Now since I live in Wisconsin I had to pay sales tax, so it came out to $5.28 (approx. $1.06 a pair), but that's still lower than Amazon. Either way shipping is free, so I buy directly from Koss.

Summary: only one new size/style
Comment: I regularly go through PLUG headphones, using them everyday at work, they are amazing at blocking sound(I install interior trim), and the cord normally takes about 6 months to wear out and crack somewhere, so I just buy another pair. This time around I saw this pack and was exited because I could see there were some different sizes(in the past, PLUG headphones shipped with one size plug), so I ordered it along with 2 new pairs of PLUG headphones. Upon receiving items, I found that KOSS had decided to include two sizes of plugs with the headphones themselves, the normal size, and ones a bit larger. The pack of replacement plugs had three different kinds, 2 normal size cushions, 2 large cushions, and two rubber based plugs similar to reusable earplugs. This was a bit disappointing as all I wanted was slightly bigger than normal cushion style plugs, the rubber ones don't block as much sound. And since the large cushions were already included with the headphones themselves now, my purchase was somewhat useless to me. FYI, the larger cushion plugs(albeit included with the headphones) do block out a bit more sound than the smaller ones, but are just a hair uncomfortable for me, even though I still wear them.
The Bottom Line: Unless you want the rubber based plugs or really need a replacement pair, you will get no new sizes with this pack, the small and large are already bundled with the new headphones themselves(this is new, used to be just one size included). I hope this helps some people not spend $10 if they don't need to.

Summary: Caveat-not quite the same item that's pictured here
Comment: I was looking around for replacement cushions for my Koss Sparkplug, specifically looking for the large size earplug style (not the small ones and not the "flange" rubber style-- neither of those do anything for me in blocking out my noisy neighbors, unfortunately) Was glad to find this item, which looked like a full set of normal earplug style. UNFORTUNATELY, when they arrived, it turns out that they're the assortment, as mentioned in the review below. (Given that most people are devoted to one particular style, it's kind of odd that the replacement packs are, by default, these "grab bag" packages. I guess they figure they get to buy them all, you use two of them, and then have to buy more...)
Furthermore, they don't actually seem to fit my Sparkplug headphones-- the little tube inside is too small to fit the "post" on the Sparkplugs. Totally useless, in the end!

Summary: Good for PRICE
Comment: I bought this blister pack to replace my original "The Plug" cushions, which were all cracked and kinda gross... Two sets were the small foamy earplugs, two sets were the big ones, and the last two sets were made of rubber (maybe latex or polyurethane?) and these friggin' rock! I am real hard on my earbuds (putting them unprotected in my pockets, taking them to the beach and getting 'em all sandy, putting them in tight bags and making them deform for long periods of time...) and these rubbery ones can handle the strain i dish out, although the bass the earplugs produce seems a little thinner. Still totally worth the $10.

Summary: Good, I like that very much..
Comment: That is really nice for koss earphone. I like this very much. With different cushions the sound quailty can be changed. Absolutely, five star.
