MX Sport Headphones?

At comes with them but only for dry hunting. Wets are an option and probably will be here too due to cost.
 
The MXSPort comes with land phones as well as the adapter cable which allows you to use any set of standard 1/4" plug headphones with it. This cable is $40 extra on the Garrett AT's. The waterproof headphones are also available and having used them for some land hunting, they are not uncomfortable for use on land either

Curious how the MXSport compares to the Deus....
 
I think that question answers itself . . . the MXSPort is not claiming to be a high-end machine targeting units such as the XP Deus and the Minelab CTX 3030 / E-Trac.

It offers a high level of performance and provides it in a waterproof housing which the AT Pro has shown is what may hunters want in their detector.

White's is working on new technology as are other companies and when they come to the market, then things may change but for now, that was not the intended market for the MXSport

The stock coil is a new design Double-D that you can see in the photos of the unit.

The optional coils are currently the Eclipse 6x10 Double-D and the Eclipse 9.5" Concentric . . . both of which are proven on other models and they were carried over with the waterproof connectors.

Andy, curious to who might be correct.

In your post above you state: " the MXSPort is not claiming to be a high-end machine targeting units such as the XP Deus "

Steve Howard from Whites states: "Doing so the MX Sport slaughters the cute little french thing for recovery and kills for depth"

" it slaughters the cute little french thing for recover speed,

I am assuming cute little French thing = XP Deus

Either way, curious to get one in hand and see what performance and functions it has to offer :)
 
I have not seen the post that you are referring to so I am not going to start an argument that may be out of context but I can't see where a claim such as the MXSPort being the new "top dog" on the block would be an accurate assessment of its intended market spot. The MXSport takes the MXT to a new level but the MXT was never touted as being the top of even the White's own line. The MXSport offers some things that the Deus and even the CTX 3030 do not but the other two offer features that the MXSport does not. However, at the $799.95 list price, the MXSport gives users a detector built to the White's standard that is waterproof, offers multiple "detectors" in one housing and has optional coils that make it extremely versatile. My wife has really mastered the MX5 and that has been her go-to detector of late but she has been putting up a fight when I have tried to take the MXSport for a spin during testing.

As far as recovery speed, it is better than most but with the adjustable Reactivity setting on the Deus, I can't say that the MXSport will recover faster than the Deus regardless of what has been posted elsewhere.

But as I have found, one person's opinion might not match up with someone elses . . . . . and this post is my opinion based on time with both models

Thanks Andy for the response. The statements I was referring to were over on Whites main forum and Tnet.

"Something extra exciting, the MX Sport resurrects an old 1970's Nautilus feature "Reject Volume". You can search in All Metal, select targets for rejection, and adjust the volume level of those rejected targets to 50%, 20%, or "0" volume. Doing so the MX Sport slaughters the cute little french thing for recovery and kills for depth (All Metal Mode)."

Howard

Curious about the feature "reject volume" and how that works. It would be nice, say for example, if hunting in 4 tones to be able to have very little to no discrimination and then have ability to turn down the iron tone only and listen for the higher tones etc.
 
The REJECTION VOLUME works the way the volume circuit does on say the Fisher F19 or the Teknetics G2+. If you set it at "0", anything you have notched out with the Discrimination circuit will not be heard. If you bump it up to say "30", the rejected targets will be heard but at a much lower volume.

As far as "beating the little French guy in terms of recovery" . . . . well, I'll stay out of that fray since what the Deus offers is an entirely different approach to separating good targets from trash since it was born in areas that hold 1,000's of years of targets not just 100 years. Recovery is where the Deus shines and it has set the bar pretty darn high in that area - there is a reason the number of hunters that use it in these sites have switched to the Deus in the numbers that they have . . . but again, this forum is for White's and this thread is for the MXSport.

The MXSport has features that will set its own bar in the field and feedback on the forums will soon be forthcoming.

So i just called whites and asked the nice lady if they had a waterproof headphones for the mx sport yet and what the cost would be. She told me that the headphones are hard wired. Is this true??
 
We know it can't be--- but that's what she said. I was hoping that the waterproof headphones would not be those ugly yellow things that they have used for years on the pi units. Maybe Andy can let us know the Quality of them.
 
I do not believe that the Headphones are Hard Wired. If you watch the YouTube comparison video between the MXT, M5 and MX Sport, none of the detectors have headphones attached.
 
Correct, there is a plug that accepts the land phones, the waterproof phones or the adapter cable that allows you to use any set that has a 1/4" plug . . . or you can use the internal speaker.
