Headphones

[lambo1]

Can anyone that has used the CTX verify if you can plug in just about any headphones into the CTX and have them work without the speaker
on the CTX working at the same time?

I have a set of GG NDT's and RATS and I want to make sure they would work as I would probably be going with the starter pack.

Thanks,
Lambo

Yep, they should work. The jack for the "regular" headphones is the standard 1/4-inch jack. I have used GG original, GG NDT's, Garrett Ace and Koss UR30's. All of them worked fine, and it does disconnect the detector's speaker when they are plugged in. HH Randy

Hi Digger is the headphone jack on the ctx 3030 water proof if u do not have the water proof head phone's how will that work

 

[Digger]

Recommendation is to not use the standard headphone jack, with headphones plugged in, while in the water. Either use the waterproof headphones, use the wireless module and make sure it stays dry, or don't use heaqdphones and listen to the speaker built into the CTX 3030. There are some "use and care" instructions in the manual that should be read by those intending to go swimming with their detector. HH Randy

Oka thank so if I'M RIGHT THE WATER PROOF HEAD PHONE THAT U CAN BY FROM ML WILL HAVE SOME KIND OF WATER PROOF BOOT THAT WILL SEAL THE HEADPHONE WHEN PLUG IN TO THE DETECTOR RIGHT ???? BUT IF U DO NOT HAVE THE WATERPROOF HEAD PHONE FROM ML THE HEAD PHONE PLUG ON THE CTX IS WATERPROOF OR IS THERE A RUBBER PLUG THAT NEEDS TO BE IN STALLED TO MAKE IT WATER PROOF SORRY FOR THE DUMB QUESTON BUT THE WATER PROOFING OF THIS DETECTOR IS WY I AM BAYING ONE THANKS.......

Actually, the headphone module that the standard headphones plug into comes off. Under it you'll find another headphone jack that is designed to accommodate the Minelab waterproof headphones. HH Randy

I've been trying to figure that out, understand how that works to.-----When you are using the CTX in the water---what keeps water from running into the regular headphone jack on the machine?----Or does the waterproof h.p.'s plug into the same hole as the regular h.p.'s "hole" and there is a rubber seal or boot, so as to plug them both into the same place.---I guess what I'm really asking is: do both the regular and waterproof h.p.'s plug into the same "jack" (hole) on the CTX?-----Please explain it to me SLOWLY, I'm not too swift!
