damatman88 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Has anyone found a pair of headphones that are just like the ones furnished with the 800 (bluetooth, aptx-LL, over ear, not earbuds) but are waterproof/resistant and have a higher quality audio for metal detectors? I am not super happy with the stock ones because I can't wear in the rain and audio is pretty sub-par in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Quest makes a weather resistant BT low latency headset compatible with Equinox. Other than earbuds, that is the only moisture resistant BT low latency compatible headset I have ever found. I personally like the audio of the Quest headsets. https://www.questmetaldetectors.com/product-page/aptx-low-latency-bluetooth-wireless-headphones-for-minelab-equinox 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Goldman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 That message pops up regardless of the state you enter into form. Apparently, they are out of stock at the Quest Direct site. Suggest seeing if you can find them from secondary Quest product resellers vice direct from Quest. Kellyco has one in stock here: https://www.kellycodetectors.com/catalog/quest-wireless-he-headphones-for-equinox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Not meaning to overly state the obvious but currently at least for the hobby market, wireless and waterproof don’t exist since Bluetooth transmission and water don’t play well together so the market for waterproof BT over the ear headphones is limited. Serious Detecting appears to have the Quest Equinox compatible headphones in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Detecting appears to have the Quest Equinox compatible headphones in stock. I mainly am looking for rain proof since I want to just be able to use them in a downpour without worry. Would never want the capability to submerge as I know that would not be possible with bluetooth. As for the Quest, I tried them and the connection was terrible. I was disappointed because that was what I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
