The good: The Koss Tugo integrates an MP3 player into a pair of headphones, thereby doing away with wires. The headphones sound good and come with a lifetime warranty.
The bad: The Koss Tugo is expensive and offers only 512MB of integrated memory. The headphones are a tight fit that might not be comfortable for all.
The bottom line: The Koss Tugo offers an all-in-one MP3 player/headphone solution for users who want to cut the cord without sacrificing sound quality.

- Description: MP3 Tugo is a completely self-contained MP3 headphone that permits music lovers to travel with an entire music library of their favorite MP3 downloads. No cords and no external box mean no worries for music lovers on-the-move. Traveling light has new meaning. Tugo is the ultimate travel companion. Tugo contains circuitry that allows for easy downloads from your laptop or PC. Tugo comes with a mini USB input jack that interfaces with your laptop or PC for file sharing. A convenient forward and reverse button on the earcup allows for easy access to scroll through the recordings without ever removing the stereophone from your head. A play/pause button and separate volume control allows for momentary interruption if you need to reconnect to the outside world. Operating on a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, Tugo can recharge off your laptop or PC in 3 hours or less. Utilizing a dynamic element, Tugo delivers a wide frequency response that delivers deep bass and a balanced midrange. Titanium coated diaphragms increase the rigidity of the element to minimize distortion and deliver accurate sound reproduction. Computer-optimized neodymium iron boron, rare earth magnet structures and oxygen-free copper voice coils improve output and signal transmission for a clear, clean sound of Koss. Closed ear cushions create a seal around the ear to assist noise reduction when listening in noisy environments. Best of all, Tugo is easy to use. From the savviest down-loader to first-time users, the Tugo delivers no-worries/no hassles, simple "drag and drop" downloading and listening pleasure. Perfect for listening on-the-go, Tugo folds flat for easy and protective storage in a streamlined carrying case. Lightweight for extended listening periods, Tugo delivers approximately 10 hours of battery life.
