How do you do that?

Wouldn't you need a little transmitter actually on your machine which sends signals to the headphones?

Would it be bulky and add weight to the machine?

Sorry, not a gadget techie but it's an interesting idea. Do get sick of getting tangled in my earphone cord every time I bend down to dig something.

There's definitely some people doing it, but it doesn't seem popular.

$100 wired headphones are probably the better way to go.

I just bought a pair of Bluetooth wireless 'phones, haven't had a chance to use them in the field yet, but they seem to work fine

For me they worked fine on a slow response detector like the EX2 however when I tried them on the Fisher F-75 which is lightning fast response the lag time was just too much for quick, accurate pinpointing. I guess it just depends on what detector you are using and if you can handle the lag time

Scottish Innovation do a set of 3 channel especially for detectors, but again, not recommended for fast response machines. Uptill now the only ones that work really well ar the XP series WS1 single channel, WS1 dual channel (Also known as WS2), and the WS3. The first two are backphones, the last is like a set of Jolly Rogers. Unfortunately for most people these only work with XP detectors (I´m lucky, I have an XP GMP with WS1 two channel). The channels are so you can switch if someone near you is using the same setup.
