Metal Detecting Headphones: A Treasure to your Ears

Why do I even need metal detecting headphones?

Metal detectors emit an audible sound to assist you in locating the items that you're hunting for. For the true hunter though, headphones are an absolute necessity for increasing your chances at detecting that valuable coin or piece of jewelry that lies buried beneath the surface of the soil or sand. Whether enhancing the all-too common faint detection signals or aiding in determining the metallic composition of the treasure, headsets are a great accessory for all metal detectors.

What features should I look for in metal detecting headsets?

• Wireless headphones for metal detection purposes are finally becoming available. The wireless WS1 headphones can be used on all old or new French-made XP metal detectors. Wireless headsets are lightweight and allow for easier operation of the detector and less chance of entanglement when digging for your bounties.
• If you have to use head phones with a cord, a coiled cord has "more body" and is less likely to get in your way or to be twisted.
• Buy headphones that are made for detecting purposes, not headsets that you use with your stereo or cell phone.
• Depending on the areas where you most often go treasure hunting, select a headphone that is able to handle the "elements" like dust or salt-water spray.
• If you have specific hearing needs, look for metal detecting headsets that have individual volume controls for each ear.
• Invest in a comfortable headset to enhance your detecting experience and to enable you to search for longer periods.
• Use headphones that have a tight but comfortable seal around your ears to filter out distracting surrounding noise and to enhance weaker detection signals.
• Before purchasing your detecting headphones, determine whether your detector requires a stereo or monaural headset. Some head sets have a switch to make them compatible with either situation.

With the proper headphones, your metal detecting excursions can be a comfortable and successful mission.
