CTX wireless headphones ?? what's the advantage to this?

[RVRoamer73]

I must have overlooked something somewhere......just came to my mind and thought would run by the forum. I know the little wireless box is not
water proof or the headphones that come with the CTX. I have been using my wire to connect to CTX directly and actually haven't figured out
what the advantage is to using the remote wireless unit. Don't hit me too hard,,,I must be having a brain Freeze and will snap out of it soon....

There's a recent thread on here on using the wireless module, some good points listed on that.

Try it and you will see. Its awesome. You can lay the detector down, nothing ever pulling at your head, etc. I really like it. If you are fine with having it connected though then keep it that way. I would give the wireless a try to see if you like it. I think for beach detecting its perfect...but yea definitely not waterproof. I got one of those cases from russia off ebay for mine and it works pretty well.

Yes, this is a plus, did use here in Georgia just playing around a old school and seemed to work great,,,,I think didn't someone mention somewhere that you may actually get
better quality sound from these......might have been dreaming on this one.....but Thanks for info!!! "Sound" advice....

I also got a touch pad protector with sun visor from ebay and its awesome. I think both of those are worth to protect the wireless unit and screen. $30 or whatever to protect that screen is totally worth it.

I will say,,,,,you gotta pay to play......amazon and ebay 'likes' us....

I always use it when dry land hunting. The way I hunt beaches it gets in the way.

I am still undecided. I disliked the way the original headphones were designed to individually move and slip all over my head. Bought the yellow waterproof ones and lost audio definition. Tried the wm10 with iphone buds and loved the simplicity but lost dynamic range and I think there may be added delay. Headphones at a hot beach are just too heavy-duty for me. Tried the iphone buds in a 1/4" converter to the headphone adapter and may like this best - so what might be needed for me is a waterproof adapter plug thingy - one for 1/4" and another for earbuds. I dont go underwater or intentionally put the detector head underwater unless washing it with the hose. Just don't want to corrode the audio jack connector pins. In fact it took me awhile to read that the adapter from minelab has a cap to protect it if you want to just use the internal speaker or wm10.
