Made me a connector for the AT pro today

[Jason in TN]

Went from almost 70 yesterday to snow this morning. So I went ahead and cut the wire I had my sunrays wired in with and just added me a plug to the back of it. I am now set to use any headphones. Also got an adaptor where I can use ear buds or any thing with the small headphone jack. All you need is your original plug off your headphones. It is a bugger to get off. Front rubber piece with pins will pull off leaving pins in the plug. Then it takes some digging to get the wire out it is glued in. Need a wire with three wires in it. And a female plug to plug your headphones in Radio Shack has them. Used wire of a old set of Sunray golds I was not using. Called them today to get a new wire to make them like new. The old one had a short at the plug before I cut it. Did some testing works great. Off to pick up a new set of Black Widow phones in the morning and go do a little relic hunting. Going to be partly cloudy and 40 tomorrow brrrrr.

i got the blue waterproof phones today along with some spare lower shafts.

took a short spin with the blue ones and came back and just cut the plug off the land phones.

the blue ones have no volume so i got the full blunk of all its output.............boy oh boy what a waste of 80 bucks

Love those underwater headphones...in loud surf or river noise you will see a need for them as they are loud crisp.

You apparently dont know how to use them or even what they are used for.

 

[GraveDiggerMax-VaBch-Va]

yes they are

what i do know is that i will not be using them unless someone comes into my garage steals all my others and leaves those by mistake.

....are you saying that they just might not even be worth stealing ? ...... ....Now that's funny right there ......Jim

I hope you and Gravedigger are buddies with a comment like that?

To not want the waterproof ones.

I did not buy them cause I dont dive or snorkel anymore.
Only an accidental splash would get the headphones wet.

Shouldn't be to hard to add a volume control in one of the cups ... but then I doubt they would last if you dive with them.
A sealed control pot should survive any splashes or quick dunking.

Cheap fix .... cotton in the ear cups?

I guess Garrett figures the waterproof headphones need to be loud if you are wearing a wet suit hood.
Maybe the AT PRO II will have a volume control on the panel.

after using them for like 90 mins.............i kinda got use to loudness part...........someone said, "just wear them around your neck", man that would for for sure...............not a bad plan.

i used my blackwidows with the pro today and they were nice.

i do not know bearkat4160, but i figured if he is talking about me, he is leaving others alone

being a rookie u know, i have to learn kinda like critterhunter on the other site.

What a stinkin shame. Everyone cutting their headphone wires on brand new units. Makes me cringe a little bit.

You got to do what you got to do. Pluged in a set of brand new black widows I picked up this morning to mine man they sounded great.

Ya me too...kinda nuts. I like the Garrett H-PH's.

Kinda rude towards Garrett...but to each his own.

 

[bearkat4160]

Yeh I use them around my neck sometimes while prospecting...so I can still hear things around me.

They are not to bad sound wise but comfort and noise and wind blocking they leave a lot to be desired.
Once you use a truly good pair of headphones you will not want any thing else.

[bearkat4160]

Yeh you might be right Jason....I've never used real expensive after market Hd Ph's, stockers have always seemed fine with me. Wouldn't mind trying a pair of after market's but aint gonna buy them.

 

[GraveDiggerMax-VaBch-Va]

really good headphones make hunting a pleasure...............va beach also hosts Oceana Naval Air Station........=................lots of jets flying low - more noise.

i was really unaware people even used stock phones these days............a few here use those koss jobs on se pro and etrac.............they are worthless on the oceanfront.

all made phones have added gel earpads for extra comfort and quietness also.

when i comes to ears and feet, i spare little expense.

just the way i spin.

good luck
