So...as of today, who makes the best waterproof headphones that are good

[Dan(NM)]

From all over the forums it doesn't look like anyone is singing the praises of any one manufacturer's waterproof headphones. Volume and build quality seem to be the main weakness of most available at this time. I'm moving to Texas within the coming year and will be living very close to some popular lakes and will be needing a decent set of phones, but, I don't want to flush my money down the toilet on sub par phones. Can anyone suggest a decent pair of phones, PM me if you need to, thanks.

Right now........ the yellows are the only ones made by a company. There are some guys doing them on the side just like we had for the Xcal and CTX. Now if you want to make your own........ it seems the speaker have a bit more volume than the piezo. Piezo will give you about the volume when WATERPROOFED as the wireless phones.

I recently tested my new Minelab WP HP for the Equinox and the dB output was good on my pair (70db - 89db).
I find them comfortable and familiar since they are similar to my Excal HP.
For me the volume output is great but YMMV due to the different dB output people are experiencing with some of the
Yellow WP HP by Minelab.

Tin..... i guess that depends on if you get a pair that 79db vs 89db. You forgot to mention...... ML did make the coil cable longer. Used to yank mine off all the time with the Xcal.
