Which Headphones Are the Best??

[dsterry0578]

Which headphones are the best because I'm looking into buying a set soon and need your advice as to which ones to get. I've heard that DetectorPro Nugget Busters & Garrett Master Sound headphones are good, is this true? I saw that Garrett's website sells a set for $29.95, is that a good price? Any information would be great. Thanks to all.

I would suggest you look at the Gray Ghost or Killer B's. These are excellent quality and high output headphones designed by treasure hunters for treaure hunters.

Don't know which ones are best, but I can tell you that the headphones for the Excalibur are the worst!

I got the "medium" priced headphones from whites. They work well but are the kind that fully cover the ears tightly and are plastic. They are horribly hot in the summer and dont allow for hearing approaching people, dogs, etc. I ended up getting some light weight cheapos from radio shack and although Im sure im missing some VERY faint signals, my day is much more comfortable and probably safer. Hope this helps, dave.

Good question!

I probably should have asked that too. I went ahead and ordered "Jolly Roger" headphones. I'll give a review when I get them.

The headphones I have now need to be replaced because...

1. They're falling apart.

2. They slide around on my head so the tones change.

3.They let in so much ambient sound, I can't hear anything near traffic and outdoor power equipment.

4. They have no volume control.

5. The four ft. non-coiled cord gets tangled and tugs the phones right off my ears sometimes.

6 Ect ect ect...


I can't wait!


Cheers

One thing to think about, most of the headphones that come with your machines stock are usually 30 ohm headphones, most speciality headphones are 100 ohm units. NOW this is just me, but i am a lil hard of hearing to many loud race engines destroyed some of my hearing, and i didn`t like the sound difference in the 100 ohm units, seemed like it was a touch higher pitched versus the 30 ohm was a lower grunt sound.

Its always best to try and borrow a pair to try if possible.

Okay!

Got the JR headphones today! I field tested them (in a field). It took me about 10 minutes to get the volume the way I wanted and the reduction of ambient noise took
a little getting used to but...

... then I ran into a patch of assorted coins and trash. I was so busy digging, I forgot I was wearing them.

Two thumbs up! I highly recommend them. Thanks for the fast delivery too, Tony.

If anyone has a question about them, ask away.

PS. They're kind of stylish as well.

My homemade suit me the best, then Greyghost or Mole Super Phones depending on the machine being used. Troy or SunRay are good but read the following review if you have a Fisher.
http://www.detectorpro.net/headphones

Do watch in case the cones have been changed. Mole Super Phones got better. Pro Phones (white in colour) that I really liked with the Fisher CZ's changed to a black colour, performed worse and felt like wearing a head clamp. Predators new version don't have as good a tone response. Detector Pro products were improved a year or so back which made them more reliable in use, a point to consider if your buying second hand.
