QUESTION, ABOUT HEADPHONES FOR AN SE

[Ray-Mo.]

Including high dollar aviation phones.The Pro Golds just give my ears the best high silver tones of them all.Just about raise the hair on the back of my neck when they sound off on deep silver lol.I do use other phones on some of my other machines that dont have the multi-tone conductive feature.....

Something about Minelab and Pro-Golds that just work. HH

Dang, you guys...I love my Koss phones, and have no reason to switch, but it's sure tempting to hear all of this talk about the Pro Golds...

Here's a question...I have used Koss phones for going on a year now...the whole time I have had my Explorer, and I am used to what things "sound like" through these phones. I know how much Bryce stresses not changing any of your "tonal" settings on your Explorer once you set them, as he advises getting used to exactly what sounds you are listening for and then STICKING WITH THAT -- so as to teach your ears what to focus on in a consistent, never-changing way. I buy into that idea 100%; makes total sense to me. SO, my question is, would stuff sound SO different in the Pro Golds as compared to what I'm used to (Koss) that there would be a "learning curve," so to speak, for my ears, to get used to these phones? Or, would the transition be "seamless." If silver sounds "so much different" on these phones, would there be an adjustment for me, switching from what I'm used to?

Try the Jolly Rogers ultimates headphones as well. Excellent audio and very good fit. Very compact, not to mention they are cheaper!

Steve.... good question; if I may I'd like to add another one to it. For everyone using headphones, don't you find that the cord poses a problem? When I'm hunting in the woods or in an area that is somewhat thick or even in a open but overgrown field, my headphone cord is continuously hanging up on stuff as I move forward. Then when I get down to dig and for some reason or another I have to get up, oops, forgot to remove my headphones (I feel the tug and look back and my cord is all stretched out); or the cord keeps falling over my shoulder while I'm digging. I just find the cord very annoying and a nescience to deal with and I don't have to deal with it with wireless. I know to-each-his-own and everyone has their own ideas about what is best and if it works for you, great, but doesn't it make sense to try wireless if change is in your future? They are so much more convenient IMO and the cost is reasonable too. As for me, two sets of quality headphones stay in the back of my P/U but invariably I reach for the wireless ear buds.

all it's gonna' do is make that sweet "deep silver tinkle/warble"....that much HIGHER pitched and it will SCREAM at you through a dead null in the iron.

The reason I say this is because I have my settings set to MAXIMIZE the sound of silver and make it the highest possible pitch so to set itself apart from other coins.

Sunray pro golds will only enhance that high pitch. Other headphones are no comparison when it comes to this.

The pro Golds are ALL treble in sound. If you hunt relics you might not like them...but for deep silver they can't be beat....period.

Thanks for the question Joe!
I use both! I try to use just about all the headphones I sell. I have even been known to use cheap dollar store Sony Walkman headphones with an adapter in the summer when it's really hot. In areas when the surrounding are rough I use the rattlers so I will have one good ear to hear people walk up on me. Had that happen a few times.... Not fun when your on your knees bent over. Lol Especially when your swinging a $$$ machine laying beside you while you dig.

I can't say much for the ghosts or their company as I have never owned them. I may be partial to sunray as I am QUITE fond of the pro golds, x-1 probe, and x-12 coil. More importantly though, sunray is the the type of company that I thought was long extinct. I had issues with a broken component on my pro golds a while back. I didnt have a reciept and had never sent in the warranty paperwork. Ralph @ sunray (everybody knows Ralph) went WAY out of his way by contacting the place that I thought I bought them at and researching my purchase. With my phones just barely under the one year warranty (that I never sent in) Ralph made sure I was happy and had my headphones fixed, only costing me shipping. If sunray sold produce then I would probably do my grocery shopping there. Ralph and sunray are truely one of the last customer oriented companies in this country. The fact that their products are amazing is nice too.
