Headphones

When I bought my v3i I also bought the wireless headphones.

The headphones are great. They work very well and are comfortable.

The problem is me. With headphones on, either wired or wireless, I can no longer hear what is going on around me. Call it paranoia if you wish, but with my background in law enforcement I have a real problem with losing situational awareness. I would love to hunt with the headphones on but I always wind up taking them off after a few minutes because I am not aware of what is going on around me.

Anyone else feel the same?

You could buy a set of wired one cup phones like the guys who need to hear snakes or you could mod the wireless to a one cup design. You could use a wired external speaker that clips to your shoulder like some of the Aussies use. You could also hunt with a big friend. :wiggle:
 
I was serious about the suggestions. Phones are needed.
 
OK, I thought you were insulting me. And from a moderator it really pizzed me off.

I lurk, and read, and try to learn, but I rarely post. That's why you don't know me. Many times these forums have clicks, and if you aren't one of them you get put down.
 
It equal opportunity on here Keep your guard up. LoL Naw its a great wealth of info on here with a lot of this and that, that some like and some dont but the click that answers most of the stuff you will soon learn the good ones . Rob,Larry , Magic and a few more are pretty on the money most of the time . They just get a lil sarcastic whith those who dont listen, how many ways can one be told the same thing? Watch and you will see what I mean. Yazoo
 
Rob made good suggestions, here is the link for the Rattler headphones: http://www.detectorpro.com/rattler.htm

Although you can get by without headphones, they are highly recommended for hearing the really deep targets that often are just a whisper.
 
Couldn't find the picture I wanted but a speaker like this uses a phone cord and jack and is pinned to our shirt just below your ear.

I can't be bad at Christmas.
 
I often hunt with one headphone on and one off. I have a prior law enforcement background. There are to many scum bags on the planet. I get death threats half a dozen times a year from past criminal encounters.:thumbdown:

In my own yard I have had to deal with 500 pound charging black bears. It gets scary in the summer months at dusk because the bears really come out. I have sometimes had to resort to carrying my pistol in one hand and the detector in the other.
 
You could alter your head phone cushions to let more outside sound in. I made new cushions for these cheap head phones and cut the bottom off to hear my pinpointer better. I did it on my Killer B's too because they were too sound proof. It works.
 
And that's the reason that I use light weight, wired headphones, even though I also have the White's wireless for my V3i. I like the Koss KTX-1. They have a 6' cord with the 1/4" plug so you don't need an adapter.
