Headphone Question

[Count Boris]

I have been working around machines, and sheet metal. Most of my life. It does take a toll on your hearing. Am eligible for retirement in about 23 months. At that time would like to upgrade to a MXT. Been considering a set of head phones for it. Noticed the black widow headphones for challenged hearing. Would anyone recommend these, or something else? Would love to hear your comments.

I have about 25% hearing loss in one ear and I use KOSS headphones with volume control. They are plenty loud enough plus they only cost about $35 to $40 which is considerably less than the Black Widows.

That's kind of what I'm wondering. I use a set of Koss with adjustable volume on my M6. Just not sure if paying more money, will help me hear those deep weak signals.

I use mine with a 250 and I'm still learning it. I figure I'm not going to hear everything and I'm going to miss some signals so I just don't worry about it. Even though I've only been detecting about 4 months, I can see how you can invest a lot of money on accessories which don't equate into more or better finds. Good luck. Gomer says"hey".

You don't need the most expensive headphones, but do buy decent ones. The giveaways with detector deals and those for $20 or so just don't give the crisp sound that better phones do. I have and use several and can give the more expensive Grey Ghost line good marks and several of the Koss models have been good, and for the price, the White's Royal maroon ones are pretty decent on my MXT. My two bits.

I own "Killer B II headphones". Excellent quality, dual volume controls, 150ohm. Prices vary. $80 to $90. I'm VERY satisfied with them! Check em out. Good luck!
