Impulse AQ Is Very Loud

A mixed blessing for sure. The main complaint with a lot of underwater detectors is lack of volume. Not an issue with AQ! While wading and using Tones I am running the volume all the way down at minimum.

Well it's good to know that with these headphones I won't be wanting something louder. Too many hunters are always buying different sets just to get some extra decibels. I fall into that category! LOL

For the AQ, do you think you might consider using something like a Zener diode based limiter with the Skullies?

Thanks TVR....

I could never get them to work on Piezo;s..I use to order my Audiosears speakers with the little guys..which they worked great on....But . I never really liked them for the would clip the tops off of some signals.. I think I've been thru every birdcage trying to get the very best audio...

The headphones work great for i can hear stuff no one else can, and that's with the excalibur. And they work great on the "AQ', but I may go deaf before the end of the year if I don't do something..💀

I had to look around to find a few from the old days..

The Zeners was an easy to fit in the space try. Beyond that to get rid of the clipping is probably an AGC circuit and that would mean a circuit card in limited space. I no longer have the tools to do a photo etch board so I would not be of much help with that.  At least the stock AQ phones seem to be pretty good.
