I do a daily woot blog where I talk about the woot, link to CSEs, find reviews, etc. A few people have told me it's useful. Google "useful linkage" and there it is.

Anyone have experience with these ones? Would be interested in hearing about sound quality and how well they hold up to normal use.

Is noise isolating the same thing as noise cancellation?

Is noise isolating similar to noise canceling?

I'm no sound expert but I've used Koss earbuds on my Ipod and Blackberry Phone that has a built in mp3 player and I must say the sound is exceptionally good for the price.

Different size rubber ear pieces. S-M-L. Standard setup for ear buds.

Sound quality is wonderful, I used them for running until I lost them. But I ran with them in the rain/cold/heat and they stand up to it all, they are the style where one earphone line is longer than the other so they naturally go to one side of your head instead of down the middle of your chest, which I prefer but I know some people don't.

Does it take batteries? Doesn't look like it, that would be quite awesome.

It usually means that it comes with different sized buds. The black rubbery stuff that goes over the actual earbud. They have a bunch of sizes you can change based on your ear size.

Nothing like a good shirt.woot argument. Gets me through a whole class.

No...noise isolation fits the ear canal snugly so as not to allow noise in. Noise cancelling is an active process by which the external noise is analyzed and reduced with an inverse wave.

In my experience...good sound isolation is better than noise cancelling. However...there are good and bad models of both. Good sound isolation models do not alter the audio...sound cancellation models will usually (and audibly) alter the audio in order to cancel incoming sound.

That being said...I have no idea if these are good or not...I know that Shure had some OUTSTANDING ones at CES...but they are pricey (lowest end model was $100...they went up to $449!)

I've never used this brand, but the cord design on these is great. For those who don't know, the cord to the right bud is longer than the one to the left bud. You're supposed to wear the cord behind your head, which is so much more comfortable than traditional earbuds, as the weight is placed on your neck.

As long as the sound quality on these checks out, count me in!

Koss needs our support after being rocked by a $31 million fraud.

No. Noise isolation blocks out background noise with silicone or foam, and noise cancellation listens to background noise and generates a signal to counteract it.

Can anyone compare (from using both) these with Razer m100 Pros? http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=8764 The Razers are great for the price - so if these are comparable in quality - these should be well worth the price!
