Wireless headset question?

[Eagle101]

I have a Garret At Gold and I just purchased a TDK WR700 wireless headset. I remember reading on the forum about purchasing an in-line volume control. If I do need one where can I purchase one(ebay?)and what model. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Rat-Shack has them in-store for under $10. Let us know how the 700's work for you. I found them to be a bit too laggy.

They weren't too laggy for me, but since the ear piece doesn't cup the ear, every time I would push the Lesche in the earth the sudden movement from my body would cause the overly heavy headband to fall forward.
Sometimes the WR700's would fall completely off.

The dongle is huge so using the inline volume control is recommended to avoid plugging the jack directly into the detector in addition to controlling the volume.
I mounted mine with Velcro but the design requires mounting to the battery cover. Ergo if the dongle is bumped, the cover pops open and it falls apart and dangles by the cord.

Lastly, the WR700's powers down after 3 minutes of no audio, so if your detector has no audible threshold and you are in a clean area or cherry picking, they will shut down on you without any indication.
You could be swinging for a while thinking there are no targets. Needless to say, mine are in the pile of stupid purchases.

Thanks for the info. I bought them because I read that a bunch of guys liked them. I hope I didn't waste my money. If I did I will just resell them on eBay and get my money back.
