Yesterday I received Gray Ghost Amphibian - Underwater Headphones for Garrett products. I have read many reviews praising these headphones and thought that I would give them a try.
I have the AT Pro and the ATX and do saltwater beach detecting with 80% of my time in dry sand (AT Pro) and 20% on the wet sand and in the saltwater (ATX).
I used these headphones today for a total of 25 minutes with my AT Pro in dry sand. These $150.00 headphones sound worse than my $35.00 original Garrett headphones. The sounds from these headphones sounded muffled and flat like I was 50 feet under water. The tones on different metals are NOT sharp, loud, pronounced, and distinct. The volume does not get very loud and very little distinction between the tones of different metals.
I don't know if I received a defective set of headphones or what. All I know is the original cheap headphones that came with my Garrett detectors totally out perform the Gray Ghost Amphibian that I received. I never even attempted to try them on my ATX
I just finished the repackaging of the headphones, applied the return label, and they are going back to Amazon tomorrow at no expense to me.
