head phones

[tigermoth]

Has any one used Sun ray pro gold head phones,I`m looking at buying a set to use with my 2500 and also on a mine lab gold detector which has poor volume,I`ve only just started using head phones on the Garrett and can`t believe the difference in the machine,It`s like i`ve upgraded the detector,I detect old mineing camps (1850) in fire ravageged mountains and it has been to dangerous to wear head phones because off falling branches off burnt out trees but things are settling down now and I can hunt in a bit more of a relaxed state, I find lot`s of old coins,mainly chinese,belt buckles and buttons,not much jewelry,only a few broach`s and a silver locket, My best find has been a miners pistol with a bronze barrel buried 8`` with 6 coins,lots of old cooking utensiles and tools,It`s very exciting when you come across an old leveled chimney and you are the only one to ever have been there with a metel detctor it certainly brings the youth out in you and you can get some Idea how these hard working people lived and what their status was on the gold feilds,sorry got a bit side tracked ,I was also looking at the black widow head phones made by grey ghost,some feed back would be appreciated,,Barry

on a machine that doesn't offer tonal variations to the ID, it won't make much of a difference. I do use Killer B's with my old Garrett GTA1000, however. They block out the outside noise, quicker response, have their own volume control, are light weight and comfortable. The Minelab will probably benefit more but not exclusively. The brands you named are all good, I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of them.

I bought the Sun Ray Pro Gold headphones from Ralph at Sun Ray and they are excellent. By the way I'm new to this forum and just bought a new Ace 250 and it's one heck of a good metal detector!

Hello Barry

I bought a set for my Ace 250 and I love them. I have owned several other pair in the past(gray ghost, Killer Bees, Black Widows) and I can say the the Sunray Golds and up there with the best of them. They really keep the outside noise out and they are Loud and Clear on the targets. I'm thinking about buying a second pair for my Sovereign GT.

GrayGhost are great, KillerBees's a great. Main diff is GrayGhost has more of a base sound to me, however block out more back ground then the KB's. Black Widows should be a fine set also, but have not used them.

I too have a couple pair of GreyG's ( very good) but have used the Sunray's for 2 years - dropped them, slammed in the car door - left on the hood of jeep one night in rain - kid plays with them - snagged on stickers/ saplings and stretched the cable about 10 feet on a daily basis. The biggest plus for them for me over others is the compact size and leather ear cups makes them very comfortable in all conditions.

It gets better the more you use it. I field tested the prototype and the production model for Garrett and haven't put it down since.
