Wireless Headphones ...

The wireless headphones on my V3i has spoiled me ... now I want them on my other detectors.

When will some detector maker offer them for use with other detectors?

I tired the Radio Shack wireless headphones but the transmitter has a small stereo plug and needs an adapter.
I made an adapter using a stereo jack and plug ... it would only get audio in one ear on my Shadow X5 and nothing at all on my Sovereign GT.

So I cut off the 1/4" stereo plug and soldered on a mono plug. (see photo)
connected both hot wires to the hot of the plug.
Would not work with either detector then.

Has anyone been able to interface wireless headphones to their detector?

The jack the transmitter pluged into was bad.
Replaced it with a better one and wired it to a stereo plug and it works will all my detectors except the
Sovereign GT ... Dont know why ... must be something to do with impedance.

Works good with the Shadow X5, Tesoro Bandito II, Fisher CZ-3D, E-trac, Explorer II and even the V3i.

Here is a photo of the finished adapter ... it allows me to velcro the transmitter to the detector housing out of the way.

On to the next project.

Looks like there could have been a way to put an angel plug to make the connection and do away with the cable. Hows the affect on the batteries and are you getting lag? Have you noticed any change in volume or tones from a regular pair of good headphones? What head phones are you using and do they also have an adaptor?

Willee, could you post the make and model of transmitter and headphones? Thanks

They are AUVIO brand and available at RadioShack.
I haven't noticed any lag in response and the volume is plenty high with the headphones.
They do have a volume control.

The headphones use two AAA batteries but the transmitter is internal and rechargable.
