Anyone have a good wireless setup for their headphones?

[king-ghidorah]

Kellyco was selling some bluetooth headphones but they don't now? Anyone know why? Also can a different setup be used as I know other wireles or bluetooth ones exist out there and has anyone tried it. I am seriously thinking about it as I find the wire from the detector to my headphones annoying and in the way when I am digging.

Which set from Logitech were they?

Has is it setup on detector? Do you have to put a small receiver where headphone input goes?

Research is needed...

Yes, there would have to be a transmitter (Bluetooth adapter) plugged into the detector. Since the
detector hole is 1/4" while the Bluetooth adapter is 1/8" (3.5mm), a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter would be needed
which would make the transmitter stick out quite a bit from the detector.

Bluetooth version 2.1 has a range of about 30 feet and is pretty stable. However, that version is only about
a year old, so one would have to make certain to use this newer version to optimize range and decrease
outside interferences. The older versions were not as stable, often times had distance and interference problems.
A newer version 3.0 is due out (may be available now) soon and promises to be better yet.

I think Bluetooth headphones would be wonderful. I foresee various high end detectors will be Bluetooth enabled
and certified for use by the Bluetooth SIG (special interest group) in the near future. I have
read about one unit so far, made in (I believe) France. If they get it right...
Maybe I'll' be able to use a detector while listening to Pink Floyd as my background noise.

In conclusion... my memory is failing right along side of my hearing and eyesight. So, if you really want to know
the truth... Google "Bluetooth" and read all about what I've forgotten to mention or lied about

Regards,
Doc

Hi All
The best system is with a small gitartransmitter, like the T-bone gt-ews in combination with a sennheiser rs 100, this system works in the fm 863-865 range.
The only thing you have to do is, you have to make a stereoplug on the transmitter by making a second cut on the plug with a file.
With this system you don't have any slowmotion like with bluetoot

Hi All

I have to correct myself, it works on my explorer because its rebuild and the inlet for the headpfone plug is now on the box.
It dont work on the se and the ex ll and the sovereign elite.
It works fantastic on the troy x5 and it works realy great on the gp 4500.

Be careful. Not all of that jack plugged gear will work with White's detectors, too.
