Headphones for GT

[madmax800]

Hi All,I am really loving my GT. My arm muscles are also starting to grow. Its a little heavy with the meter and probe but it truly sings.
Its now time for me to get a good set of Headphones.
Can any 1 recommend a set, probably would want Ind volume controls on each ear and a curly cable.
I have been looking around on ebay and my local metal detector store but again, here in Australia there's not a lot available.
regards all... madmax800

G'day madmax800:

If you're handy with a soldering iron you can make your own from Peltier ear protectors, and headphones, coil cord, and plugs from Radio Shack, (not sure if there is a Radio Shack store in the land-down-under, but they have a website store). I have used them for more than 2 years and I think they are terrific. I can help you with this if you're interested.
Good Luck

Peltor is right,

Peltier is for cooling your ear, if you like...

... thanks cossaro.

Here's the Peltor ear protectors that I used. You can find them in the Sear's garden department by the chain saws.

I use the Sun Ray Pro phones when it is cold and when it is hot I use some Radio Shack 10 dollar phones that have a shirt clip and inline volume control. They both work very well. The RS set is great because of being so cheap, I buy several pair at a time, and they set on the ear instead of cupping the ear, so no sweat when it's hot...

So, get yourself a set of good phones and then several pairs of these and you're set for all occasions. The cheapies work well unless you are detecting right next to a RR track or airport...

I am interested in your idea for making the headphones. Can you tell me specifically what type of speakers to get, as not all have the frequency range desired. I have an old set of headphones from Garret that would do well for a good quality set of speakers.

You can go to KOSS.com and buy online. Especially for metal detectors i bought the QZ99 it works great. They cover the whole ear.
