Headphones (wireless, waterproof, and classic), specifically designed for use with metal detectors of various models. They allow you to hear 'deep' signals.
Metal detectors are usually equipped with speakers that produce sound signals whenever the coil passes over a target. These sound signals are loud enough, and beginner treasure hunters usually rely on them. However, experienced treasure hunters always work with headphones. This is one of the most important accessories during a search. The main reason for using headphones is that it is easier to hear the desirable sound from a good target — even if it is faint — and thus the performance of the metal detector is improved.
It's also good to work with headphones when it's too noisy around. You are unlikely to be able to clearly distinguish signals on the beach, in strong wind, or in a busy area near highways.
The manufacturer is quite an important aspect when choosing headphones. After all, some companies produce headphone models specifically for a particular metal detector. For example, the WS4 or WS5 headphones are specially designed for XP Deus metal detectors. If you have a device of a certain brand, it is worth looking for and purchasing the 'native' headphones for it. Experienced treasure hunters recommend headphones from KOSS, such as the UR-20 and UR-30 (these are included with Minelab metal detectors).
It's better to use headphones with a coiled cable, like those on old rotary phones. This way, there's less chance of the cable getting in the way. Thanks to the spiral coils, the cable can stretch, and when at rest, it takes up little space and doesn't get tangled easily. Moreover, a long (non-coiled) cable can be easily damaged if stepped on with a shoe or cut by a shovel.
If the metal detector supports the use of wireless headphones, use them. There is a little trick for metal detectors whose functionality does not include the use of wireless headphones. You can buy a Bluetooth adapter, attach it to the audio jack, and use wireless Bluetooth headphones. According to reviews, the response with such an audio setup is quick and clear, but sometimes there is a delay when centering on a target.
It happens that when you buy cheap advanced-model headphones, the user doesn't think about comfort. In the summer, with Chinese "polyethylene" headphones, the area around the ears starts to sweat about five times more than when using "summer" models. Check with sellers if there are special headphones for hot weather.
In short: the higher the headphone resistance, the better their sound quality and the slower the battery of the control unit drains. Conversely, the lower the resistance, the more sound distortion occurs, especially at high volume levels. Volume control.It is better to choose headphones with manually adjustable volume. This makes finding the right sound level more comfortable. Headband.If you still opt for "non-original" and non-specialized headphones for a metal detector, make sure the headband and attachments are comfortable, do not press the head too tightly, and do not slip off with any head movement.
