Question On Garrett Master Sound Headsets Supplied By Garrett???

[John-Edmonton]

I have been using the Master Sound headsets for many many years, as Garrett often supplies them with a lot of their various metal detectors? They have always seemed to hold up well, had been water dunked with no consequences and have been repaired by myself a couple of times. Sometimes I wonder if I am missing out on some benefits of other brands. Some of the electronic stores have walls covered with different makes and models, some costing very little, while others in the hundreds of dollars.
So.........are you using your Master Sound headsets currently, or have you opted to use another brand? If so why? Were the new brands expensive? Large cuffs, small cuffs, duel volume controls? Were the other brands much better? What would you suggest?


Father's day is soon coming and my wifey wants some information.....

I received Treasure Wise phones with my Garrett Ace 350, they look identical to the Garrett Master Sound phones that came with a friends Garrett ATP. They seem to be in the same price range if you were to buy them, I can't really comment on any other brands. I can't imagine that your missing much in that price range though.

Mine have held up very well too except that I did need to rewire the plug once. By the way, the plug is wired MONO so I am not sure why they have the MONO-STEREO switch. It seems to make no difference with the Infinium LS.

IMO it seems unlikely that "upgrading" to fancier 3rd party earphones will make much difference. I cannot imagine that my Sennheiser headphones would survive a drop in salt water. I can say that it is important that you have earphones that block out ambient noise by covering your entire ear. It might be interesting to see how some of the Bose noise reduction earphones work, but they are really expensive and would probably be permanently damaged if they got wet.

I also have the Clear Sound Easy Stow headphone and find them quite uncomfortable compared to the Master Sound.

I have used the Black Widow and Grey Ghost headphone for a long time and they really make a difference in hearing the faint whispers of a signal. I don't use any of the manufactures headphones as they aren't in the same ball park as the Detector Pro's.

Detector pro has been selling headsets for years......

Sandman do you use the waterproof ones from Detector Pro or the standard. I thought if I was out and it started raining I would be covered... but since the water proof headphones use a method that changes the sound to protect the connection does it affects the tone I don't know if I want to do that. Is the tone that different? Sandman I think you are the go to guy on this question.
