Headphones in the summer heat...

I have a real problem using full cup headphones in the summer heat so I found these 10 dollar headphones at Radio Shack with an inline volume control that will clip to the neck hole of your shirt. At $10 each I buy a couple if I break one... you need a stereo adapter to use them but those are a couple of bucks.
What make's them so good is that they just sit on your ear without cupping the ear, I don't even notice them. I've broken two pair this summer, one I pulled the wire too hard when getting up and it lost signal, the other I broke the little clip that clips it to my shirt. The one that I pulled the wire loose I will fix, the other one I use with my laptop. Still at $10 they are disposeable... and much much more comfortable in the heat.

If the heat is that bad, you may want to try ear buds (like the ones for ipods). you will need an adapter.

Personally I would rather deal with the heat than chance missing a signal due to outside noise. But that is just me.
 
maybe i'm missing something and that trouble's me sometime but really... I never hear faint signals even with my Sun Ray Pro headphones. I figure it's because there is a bucketload of iron in the ground around here. My SovGT will not allow a sens setting higher than 3:00 on the dial without chatter and with the T2 I never make a swing one way with hearing at least two signals. So, sometimes I worry about the "faint signal thing" that I hear about...

Oh well...

Funny thing, but after 5 years of detecting, 2 metal detectors and 3 differnt sets of headphones, I have yet to hear the so-called "faint" signal. All signals are always the same volume. Some good, deeper targets will "blip" rather than beep, but the volume level seems the same. Maybe I dont have sensitive enough hearing.
 
It might not be you, it might be your machine. Some machines dont seem to use volume as a means of defining depth, therefore all signals appear about equal in strength...
