Wow! Talk about some nice headphones with fantastic tone/sounds and seriously good volume for Equinox (which is tough to get).
I've used a multitude of waterproof headphones for many machines, for both wading and dive detecting use. Excal volume levels have always been a dream level, when using waterproofs on other submersible detectors.
Most always, piezo headphones are seriously lacking adequate volume when used with Equinox, especially for shallow diving use.
The headphones that use the little waterproof speaker modules have good volume for wading, but don't fair well underwater.
Awhile back, I used a iphone decibel meter app to compare 3 of the available options. The stock yellow phones were the least loud. The speaker module types and the other popular brand was close to the same on higher tones, but not so much on lower tones. I recorded all the results, realizing the phone apps aren't highly accurate, but could show a decibel difference in volume between the phones.
Upon first trying these out with my Nox, I could immediately tell these had phenomenal volume, with excellent sound quality. Using the same dB app, with phone positioned the same, all the levels were 3-4dB higher across the tonal range. They do great at quieting background noises too. Excellent fit/comfort.
Very awesome high quality headphones, can't wait to get in the water again!
