It does detach from both ends. The cord it comes with is a little chessy. The music it self is all that loud but the headphones it self cancel all the background noise. Its way better then putting buds under the headphones. Also be careful of the jack on the headphones mine cord wont stay in their anymore

The jack cord has two male connectors and detaches fully from the headphones. The music is loud enough for me--i plug the headphones into my iPhone or my computer at work to cancel the gunpowder charges being used on a rivet gun on the floor right below my office. With the music playing, it does a decent job of keeping me from jumping out of my chair each time they fire the gun. I think it also depends on whether you've had any hearing loss from loud noises, which I have not.

Yes; the cord can be disconnected from both ends. Loudness of the music is a function of what's driving it. :) My Droid phone can over power most of the my woodworking tools (which can be pretty loud). I have not used it on my tractor in a field yet, though.

It does detach. Volume can be to high at times, thus defeating the purpose of hearing protection. Just keep in mind that the earcups do tend to make your skin sweat.

Yes the cord detaches at both ends; it's a standard mini-jac, so readily replaced or upgraded. Sound level will depend upon the source, and you could of course add a small battery powered headphone amp that could improve the sound as well as amplify. Of course, you do need to be careful about hearing damage from very loud music.

yes, uses a standard cable with male 1/8" plugs on either end. I wear them while running my snowblower and lawnmower. Without music I can hear the snowblower, but when on, the music is plenty loud enough to drown it out

I too have the iPhone (6) and I noticed that if the phone is playing music and plug in the jack, the music will go to the (pause=) position. You need to hit (play&gt;) on the phone again in addition to making sure volume is turned up on both headset and phone. After you unplug the jack in either the phone or headset, the music will again go to (pause=).

I just brought the headphones in the summer, in the picture it looks like it comes with the small plug, but the one's I got from garrett had the big plug end on it. but you can buy a adapter if you are worry about it fitting the adapter don't cost much money I have a video on youtube called "Wisconsin metal detecting --buying the right equiment for the hunt "

BW:I have found a way to fix this!! Try winding the cords over the top of your ears and then into your ear canal. In other words, approach your ear from behind, pulling the cord over the top of your ear, then pop the bud in. This as opposed to just putting them in and letting them hang down, where they transmit movement sound rught into your ear canal. This breaks the 'resonating' sections of the cord, and stops most of the noises from reaching the earpiece. Works pretty good.

No, your radio is not defective, this is not a stereo radio, it is only mono, there is no stereo sound (right and left channels) only mono (single channel) sound. If you use "regular" headphones with this radio you will only hear one side of the headphones, that is normal for this radio. If you want to hear both ears of the headphones you will need to split the wires at the connector; two negative (ground) together and two positive together like if they are only one speaker. Now you will be hearing in both sides of the headphones in full mono sound. Or just buy a 3.5 mm mono plug to stereo jack adapter ($3.00 at ebay) and you are done.

I noticed a slight loss in fidelity compared to using a direct line. I simply adjusted the EQ in the vehicle to compensate. I'm pleased with the overall sound, more so to not have a cord hanging in the vehicle.As to leaving it plugged into a vehicle, this is not recommended by the manufacturer. It is not meant to be left in a hot or cold vehicle (see operating temperatures) while not in use.The cap has an integral loop for a key ring, so take it with you! This might reduce the possibly of theft too.Sadly, mine went through the laundry and no longer works. I will order another!Hope this helps!

I struggled with this also, but it's actually super easy...it just slides apart. Use your thumb and index finger and hold the sides above the clip, and use the same hold in the middle of the bottom piece and then pull apart! Hope this was helpful. It's a really wonderful band, and I didn't have issue with the headphone jack as others did. Once I got it open and the Ipod inside, I was very happy I made the purchase!

I would give Bose a call. I did not experience anything like that. In fact, my cord gets snagged and fly out of the actual headphone all the time and I still don't have a problem like that.

There is no volume adjuster included within the cord of the headphones, so the headphones will go as loud or as soft as the device settings permit. I can say that the loudest setting is not as loud as one would think. I believe it was meant to be that way.

Thanks Mark! I just want to know how I just want to know if I can use my headphones with mini 3.5 jack so I won't wake up my family. Will the phone out at the rear fit my stereo headset jack? Thanks in advance.

Is that microphone jack stereo or mono? Does it provide "phantom power" to a microphone? &gt;If it does, you probably can't use that jack for any other device. Does the RCA - to - 1/8" adapter have a stereo (3-contact) or mono (2-contact) 1/8" plug? &gt;Some mono ones are made with red and white insulators (or other mixed colours), which makes them APPEAR to be the same as the stereo ones. If any part of the connecting arrangement is "mono", you won't get the "correct" sound from the turntable, and it is possible that you would get no sound. Also, check to see if there is an input-level adjustment (it would be an on-screen control); if there is one and it is set at or near its minimum, little or no signal will get into the "konfuzer". I would prefer that a LINE-level input was provided; but I believe some microphone inputs are set up so that they can be selectively switched to accomodate line-level signals. You may need to consult someone locally who can investigate the settings on your specific laptop. &gt;Line level is about 100 times the voltage of a microphone's output, and it will overdrive a microphone stage. Another possibility is: The signal going into the microphone jack probably can't be passed to the speakers directly. If it was so connected, you would have a defacto "P.A. system", and laptops are not known for having that function. In any event, the correct setting of the AT-PL120's output switch is "LINE", which will apply the necessary RIAA frequency equalization. If all else fails, instead of connecting the turntable to the laptop, use a pair of powered speakers that have their own volume control, a boombox with an auxiliary input, or any normal stereo system until you have the laptop matter figured out.

James, I am sorry that I am unable to help you with this since I sent my purchased one to the person I bought it for. If I remember correctly, all of the jack ports are on the right hand side as it is facing you (the side where the cassette is inserted) and I believe there were raised emblems for both the ear phones and extra microphone. I don't know what else I can tell you. Again, sorry for not much help at this time.

Harry there is a youtube showing a guy using a hair dryer to expand the cans on a sr60i to open them and get to the inside and resolder such a beast. Because I'm older than dirt and my grandaughters aren't here to paste the URL. You will have to look it up under sr60i something. But personally what makes them so good is that Grado keeped it simple. They are known for having the best cords best balance between ear pieces with no static crackle for the money . I really wouldn't mess with something that's already perfect for the price range. It is expensive to make detachable cables of any quality. You're talking of headphones in a whole other price range unless that's something you know how to do well.

Hi Kathryn K. My headphones worked well for about 6 months. Then left side start being mute, if I want to hear from it, than I have to tap it few times and then it works for a while and then it will mute itself again. To expensive for these kind of problems. But I guess it is to late to do something about it.

I have some audio technica noise cancelling headphones that are better at blocking out noise, even without the active noise canceling turned on. My head isn't XL size, so I cant answer the size question, but I will say that they are pretty heavy, and I find them sliding off my head sometimes. You probably don't want that while driving a tractor.

I had the same problem with (much, MUCH more expensive) Sennheiser CX400 earbuds - it was awful. I could hear my *hair*, who wants to listen to their hair? Unfortunately, i'm pretty sure all earbuds that have the sound isolation via making full contact between the rubbery part that sits in your ear, and your ear canal itself, are going to conduct some cord noise. No matter what, the cord must be attached in a way that is so integral to the construction that conductivity is a matter of physics. I find these significantly less objectionable than the Sennheisers, in fact I'm not bothered at all (maybe I got used to it?) But with the sound at a decent volume it's hardly noticeable. I really like these (I saw this post when I came looking to buy another pair or two in different colors). So I tried an experiment, on your behalf -- I put the earbuds in my ears, then draped the cord around the back of my neck. I then simulated moving around (hey, I wasn't about to get up off the couch :) by taking the remaining free part of the cord and whipping it around. Not bad, not bad at all. At the resulting length, you'd need to carry your music player approximately at your waist, and with that wrapping strategy it will minimize the cord hitting against things. Bottom line, at the price (plus, doesn't Amazon give you five bucks of free mp3s if you buy them? they did my last pair), go for it, they're better than Sennheisers at three or four times as much money, so ... what the heck, right?

Hi - Have you consulted the manual? If it did not come with a manual, you can always find one online. I have not heard of this problem before. When you try to play it out of the speakers, make sure you have the headphones removed from the jack. Also look for a master volume control.
