Headphones Advice

[Jonola (Jon)]

Now I have bought a Minelab Quattro anyone any advice as to what headphones to buy? And any NOT to buy....and any other paraphenalia that I might need that I probably haven't even thought of yet.

Aaah the good old days of the 70s when I just had my C-Scope a trowel....and my youth!

Before i got my GMP with wireless i used these, Koss QZ 99, buildt for detecting, best ever had in wet, windy weather !

[Jonola (Jon)]

I can find Koss UR30 retailing for £45. Is that good? I am on the verge of ordering them. Anyone use them?

Thanks            Jon

Just found an online deal for Koss UR30 headphones. Treasue Hunter magazine has them priced up at £45 plus postage. Special online deal has them £29.95 plus postage. Same dealer! Just bought them.

I luvs a bargain!

My dad uses koss r95 headphones which were made for hi-fi's before anyone says that they should not be used for detecting we know although not cheap they were about £100 a few years back koss the nice company that they are give them a lifetime warrenty any fault and back they go in the 6 years he has had them they have only been returned once koss fitted a new headband and new cable outstanding service but you have to pay £5-00 p&p.

Hi Jon

Ive used a good few headphones over the years One of my favours where a pair of garretts
I bought a pair of Tony maz,s Big blues thinking they would work well with my Explorer
Id say my Koss headphones are 25% louder and better sound quality.

I know a lot of people dont like them coz there large and bulky but there nothing better to keep your ear lugs warm on a cold winters day lol

Good choice Jon Bargin mate!

all the best Phil Jones

Hi again

I will say one thing ive found with the Koss UR30.s is the leads to short but thats easly sorted with an extention

[Jonola (Jon)]

Cheers for the info Phil. I will probably need an extension as I am quite tallish. They are better than my original idea of using the ones in My Sony Walkman! I was quite happy with the 33% online saving. Joanallen has already despatched them. Can't wait!

Hi Jon

You wont be sorry I,ll never buy anything else unless i find a pair that.ll blow my Koss,s out of the water

Well Im 5'6" and i use a bungee on my Explorer but i still find that when i lay my detector down to dig the lead pulls my headphones off my lug holes lol

I might have had one with a very short lead lol

all the best Phil

hi jonola drewy here i use a pair of hd 3030 headphones bought from maplins cost 16 quid found them to be excollent. The jack plug is small size so you will need large adapter jack plug to fit your quattro . Just a thought.

[Jonola (Jon)]

Thanks for the jack plug advice. I read somewhere on here that Koss were the ones to use with a minelab which is why I bought them. No one seems to have anything bad to say about them which is good. Well apart from the lead length that is

[PHIL YNYSBOETH]

Hi Jon your right

When ever read the adverts in the Detecting mags they always through in a pair of Koss UR30,s
I Bought my Minelab EXP from Mick Turrell  Leisure Promotions he recomended Koss over the others

[Jonola (Jon)]

Strange that the metal detecting mag adverts are selling them at £45 but the very same retailer is knocking them out on Ebay at £30.
