Equinox waterproof headphones

[u2robert]

What are the best pair of waterproof headphones for the Equinox? Thanks

I have only used the factory ones so I am really not qualified other than to say they worked well. I think there is at least one other out there, care to chime in anyone?

What are & where can I buy a pair?

That depends.... mostly on your hearing and expectations for your needs. I like Tony’s as well, but patriots, GGA, and even KellyCo sells good phones. Piezos ....most all use them so a lot is how they are sealed.

Why is it that nobody mentioned the Minelab Waterproof Headphones?

My reference was to the yellow Minelab water proof, they worked great. I only hunt fresh water not that it would make any difference

It does make a difference. The roar of the surf and wind can drown out the sound of faint signals from some of these headphone models. The amount of volume produced is totally inadequate in some models.

Enlighten us on which models please? I did hear that the volume on the Minelab EQ headphones was low? I went with the LS Pelso underwater headphones with the long cable I hear they had good volume and the long cable was a + for me the Explorer/E-trac has the headphone jack at the back of the handle that use to drive me nuts because when you set the detector down the headphone cable was always to short.

For my ears the Gray Ghost. Amphibian II has good volume and tone quality

I'm using the LS Pelso underwater headphones in all my hunting, even land so rain is not a problem. Good sound quality.
Just bought a pair of waterproof ear buds off the E site they won't let me say, supposed to be louder than headphones with long cords. Due in today so I haven't tried them yet.

Just got the ear buds in and they sound louder than my Pelso's.

Got the LS Pelso headphones work good nice long cord here is how I setup 1" black foam tube with the headphone cord run inside the foam tube outside of shaft. Also using an X-Terra armcuff which is a little sturdier than the Equinox cuff.

Been using Tony's for diving and very happy with them so far.
They seemed twice as loud as my Grey Ghosts

Now that's interesting because nine seem to lack volume, that's GK!!

The machine has tone volume and pitch volume.
Remember - Changing those from preset will change the way you hear your favorite targets.

I have Tony’s and they work well, but I have hearing aids in both ears so I increased the pitch and volume to assist me.

I have used Grey Ghosts, stock Minelabs on the Excal and now these. Grey Ghosts were more comfortable but these are more sturdier and have great sound and volumn..

Hi Jeff
I am comparing them to my waterproof CTX Grey Ghosts which I have an adapter for the Equinox. Perhaps the other Grey Ghosts WP models are louder.
