Why these headphones
Faint targets are quiet by definition, and the goldfields are not: wind across open ground will bury the whisper of a deep nugget signal coming from a speaker. The UR-30 answer is old-school and effective, closed over-ear cups that put the detector's audio against your ears and the wind on the outside. Dealers have supplied this exact set beside Minelab's SD, GP and GPX series gold machines for years because it does the one job that matters: every hour the detector runs, the audio runs, with no batteries, no pairing and nothing to charge. If your Minelab has the standard 1/4 in (6.35 mm) socket, this is the dependable wired option straight from the manufacturer's own accessory line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit my detector?
They terminate in a standard 1/4 in (6.35 mm) stereo plug, the gold jack visible in the photo. Any Minelab detector with a standard 1/4 in headphone socket can run them; dealers have long supplied them alongside Minelab's SD, GP and GPX era gold machines.
Are these really Koss headphones?
Yes. The UR-30 is a Koss design built with Minelab branding, carrying both logos on the ear cup as pictured.
Why wired headphones in the goldfields?
No batteries to die, no pairing to drop, nothing to charge at a camp with no power. A wired set works every hour the detector does, which is why many prospectors still prefer them.
