Was out doing a hunt today and about an hour in I lost the threshold. So I thought with 52 hours on my first battery it just died.
Changed the battery and nothing. Unplugged the headphones and it works fine, put the old battery back in and it's fine.
So I thought it was my headphones. Came home and tested the headphones in the stereo and they work fine.

So the problem is in the jack on the machine, you'd think right.
Well I took my daughter headphones and they work fine plugged into the machine. :icon_scratch: except they don't have volume control so I'd be deaf if I used them, although I could have them just off my ears.
Has anyone ever had this problem before? Even used a different adapter from the headphones to the machine and it wouldn't work either.

Are you using or have you tried 1/4 inch connector headphones - not adapted from the smaller? That would be the next thing I'd look into if you haven't already.

It's just bizarre. My headphones work in everything but my metal detector. :BangHead:
