SUN RAY PROHEADPHONES

[TomB]

In August Sun Ray Detector Electronics of Haxeton, In. {www.sunraydetector.com} provided a set of SUN RAY PRO headphones as a prise.
I was the winner of the headphones so I thought it was only fair that I test the headphones and report my findings.
Pryor to winning the headphones I was using a pair of Gray Ghost headphones on my X-Terra-70. The Gray Ghost headphones have proving to be very good headphones.
I have used the SunRay Pro head phones on four different hunts. I was very pleased with their performance. My hearing
is very poor in my left ear and not so good in my right The adjustable sound control has proving to be very helpful.
I heard some very faint signals that I might have otherwise missed. The tone quality is quite good and the headphones are very comfortable I would have no problem recommending SunRay Headphones.

Thanks

They are indeed very good earphones! I am glad to hear that you like them. I use a pair and enjoy them also, Beale.

I have used a pair for some time now and generally agree with the above comment that they are a good set of headphones. However, I dislike the "flip" switch for on/off as I often bump it to the off position. I have written on the ear piece in white paint pen "On" and "off" so that I can see at a glance when they are "on". I originally chose these headphones because (at the time) they were one of the few that had a curly cord. I have used them frequently over the years and they have survived some rough handling.

I do not own either one but I did some research. The very top of the line 150 ohm phones have both mono/stereo switch and a limiter switch on/off(limiter on for coin shooting and off for prospecting as I gather).

Some phones have a fixed limiter. Most models have of them set "on" but the gold prospecting phones like Gray Ghost Nugget Busters are set at "off", permanently. I prefer a switch because I do both coin and gold hunting.

Gray Ghost Ultimate has one volume control but the SUN RAY PRO "Gold" has 2 volume controls. I think the Killer "B" (Hornet and Wasp) have 2 as well.

I think 2 volume controls are better for bad hearing in one ear.

As to which phones are the very best--Gray Ghost, SunRay, or Killer "B". I do not know, maybe someone else an answer that ??

(Maybe the best one has the best limiter? Gray Ghost advertise: "Our special limiter circuit gives you a smooth reduction at excess volume levels, not like our imitators
