I was wondering about cordless headphones

[Pogo]

What's the current opinion on them? I'm getting back into metal detecting after a long absence. And I've noticed Kellyco is offering cordless headphones. Seems like they would be very convenient.

Are they reliable and as sensitive as headphones with a cord?

Thanks

I have a set from radio shack and did much research when my regular headphones snapped a couple of wires.

I like mine but do have to say that they do not keep out alot of sound like the headphones that cover all of the ear. What I do like is that I can hear things going on around me so I am not surprised by someone showing up next to me.

The tone was slightly different and I can hunt for up to 8 hours before I need to recharge. I like mine very much and enjoy the freedom I have by not being teathered by the cord. Everyone has their preference and the prices can range from as low as $12.00 as I have seen mentioned here up to $100.00. My total cost with the adapter and extended warranty was $70.00.

Do your research and good luck. I own a Whites M6 and they work fine for me.

I have tried a few different brands with the logitec freepulse being the best. If you have a silent search only detector that only puts out three or four different all or nothing tones there should be no problem.

However I found with threshold multi tone machines way to much gets lost in the translation so I am still putting up with the cord and I hate it.

I ordered a pair from Kellyco. And they arrived today. They look pretty good. I tried them in my back yard, and they sounded good with a penny and a dime on top of the ground.

I'm anxious to go try them out this weekend.

And here I have attached the Bluetooth transmitter to my detector.

It is attached with velcro, so that I can take it off, and attach it to one of my other metal detectors if I want.

I have the Radio Shack ones and they work just fine. There have been discussions on the RS phones on other forums and the main complaint is that they are kind of fragile. I'm careful and haven't had any problems. However, I would suggest the purchase of their extended warranty just in case. I have heard good things about the Logitech Freepulse ones and plan on trying them next. Best Buy has them for $99.99.
