A: The cord is permanent.
Q: Will these headphones fit into my USB port on my computer or my iPod?

Q: I have bought one Koss headphones, it works great. Now I am looking for wireless headphones at an affordable price. Would you recommend one for me?
A: We recommend the Koss BT539i wireless Bluetooth headphones as they have better reviews and are cheaper than the one recommended above.
Q: I want to use them with a home stereo system, will this plug directly into my receiver? Is there a next step up from this one as far as quality?
A: Yes, it should work on any amplified sound input. You can go up two steps from this model with one that has a microphone for higher quality sound.
Q: Do these headphones have volume control?
A: No, they do not have volume control.
Q: What's the warranty since they are discontinued?
A: The product comes with a lifetime warranty, but it may not be particularly useful since you would need to pay for shipping to and from Koss for repairs. It may be more cost-effective to purchase a new pair instead.
Q: Will they work with a Panasonic tape recorder?
A: Yes, these headphones have a 1/8" and a 1/4" jack included, so they should work on any amplified sound input.
Q: What's the difference between the UR-20 Stereo Headphones and the UR-20 Home Headphones?
A: The UR-20 Home Headphones have a 100-foot wireless ability, while the plain UR-20's are hard-wired to the source. The headphones are mostly made from plastic and may not be able to withstand a lot of wear and tear. If you plan to use them for commuting or other activities where they may get banged around, you may want to consider the wireless ones.
