Time for a new pair of headphones
- Thread starter CT Todd
- Start date
Todd,
I'm probably going to go against the majority, but I don't like the tone of the Grey Ghosts...at all.
The level limiter circuit muffles the tone, and kills the 'brightness' of the signal.
I didn't really notice how bad they are until I tried some others.
After some testing, I'm now convinced they're the worst sounding headphones out there.
(Picture yourself listening to someone who accidentally covers the microphone of their phone while talking...it's that bad.)
Killer B's are great...SunRay Pro Gold are great...
And get this...the DetectorPro UniProbe headphones DON'T have the limiter circuit...and they sound GREAT!
(Made, of course, by the same folks who make the Grey Ghost.)
I also use some semi-custom earbuds made by Westone Labs in Colorado with the wireless module...for those times when too much sweat builds up in the headphones.
They're expensive, but sound great. (Much better than the generic junk you can buy off the shelf.)
Good luck, and
HH

+1 : GG and especially U model do't sounds good at all.
If you never swim and use your WM-10 module, you have plenty of choice and you can stay away from "metal detecting" headphones. I like Sennheiser ones! I sometimes use Sony... they all work fine compared to Metal Detecting headphones and they are inexpensive.

Todd,
I have used Black Widows on my 3030 since I got it in Sep 2012 and on my Explorer before that and they sound great. They have the best rating for cancelling out ambient noise of any headphones that I have seen. The Uniprobes have a somewhat muffled sound to me on the 3030 and I really wanted to use them for the probe but they just don’t give me anything more than a muffled type response. Sun Rays sound good on my F75 LTD but don't sound that great to me on the 3030. I even have two pair of Black Widows as backups –just in case. The also give a good sound on my TDI while beach hunting as they cut down the amount of “wave” action that other headphone let in. If you hunt where there are “rattlers”, don’t use the Black Widows as you will never hear it before it strikes!
Just my 2 cents.

I use sony ear buds when it is hot out, headphones make my head sweat. I use pro golds when it is cooler out. They sound great to me and I am hard of hearing.
