question for sand shark or tiger shark users....

[fwcrawford]

I checked out a Sand Shark a few weeks ago while on vacation and noticed that the headphone cord seemed to be on the short side even with the control box mounted under the armcuff.
I know the cord stretches,but am wondering about undue stress where the cord enters the box.
Has anyone else noticed this while using their detectors?
I'm considering buying one next year and looking for responses to this question.
Thanks in advance for any responses,
Felix

Felix,
I have a Sand Shark and hunt with the box under the arm rest; it balances very well that way; can swing it all day. The cord does not have much slack but the cord coils allow a lot of stretch. I find the Sand Shark headphones to be comfortable and they shut out a lot of outside noise.

The CZ20 and Excal that I have have no slack and fewer coils in the cord and less ability to stretch them out. I have not had any trouble with any of the headphone cords yet, and the CZ20 has a lot of hours over many years on it, less for the Sand Shark and even fewer on the Excal. I have had both the Excal and CZ20 head sets removed from my ears when hit by waves and tumbled. Have been tumbled with the Sand Shark too, but so far the head phones have stayed put.

In my opinion, I don't think you need to worry about the length of the headphone cord and stressing it on the Sand Shark.
Cheers,
tvr

I have a Tiger Shark.My pull on bow and arrow is 30 inch.I hunt with it under my arm. There is not much slack, but if dropped will go almost to the ground before pulling on headphones.
