Makro wireless headphones - Got 'em!

[Kapok]

Got my Makro wireless headphones today. Setup was very easy and they worked great, no lag at all, and nice to not have to mess with a cord tangling around my detector.

Good job, Makro.

They're great! I'd hate to use anything else now.

I have a Red Racer and noticed the Module and headphones was almost $200 and listed as Bluetooth. Then I see the newer Racer 2 Module and headphones for around $110 and listed as 2.4ghz. Now from what I've read the 2.4 is 6X faster than Bluetooth. So why such a discrepancy in pricing? Would the newer Racer 2 2.4ghz work with the older Red Racer? I have also have the Cores and ordered a Garret Z-Lynk for it and planned on using it also on the Red Racer. Just curious.

I never had a set for my Red Racer so I cannot say from experience, but there were reports that there was a bit of perceivable lag on the Red Racer BT phones. Being the stand up company that Makro/Nokta are known to be, ever with their ear to the needs of the customer, when the Racer 2 and Impact were released, they utilized a different set of phones with 2.4 gHz, and there's zero delay, plus excellent audio.

I'll never go back to wired headphones again

are not functional on the original Red Racer. Different, non-compatible technology. As Cal_Cobra mentioned, the original headphones, which I had, worked reasonably well, but they did have a small perceivable delay. The newer 2.4 Gig. headphones don't and they work really well.

I just went ahead and got the Z-Lynk. Then modded my Grey Ghost. Works great.

I misplaced the usb chord used to charge makro wireless headphones. Can I buy one that size anywhere?

 

[Tom Slick]

Yes, It's a common phone size. The same cord is also used on Garmin GPS units and my Cannon camera uses the same cord.

Odds are you already have a micro USB cord in your home. Most cell phones have the micro jack and designed to plug into a USB port. Apple won't though. My LG has one.
