Bone Conductors To Ws6?

I bought the underwater cover up to 5 meters + headphones adapter + rod holder + underwater headphones but I did not understand if the headphone jack while in contact with the water works....the antenna is attached behind the cover via an adhesive support

Better late than never! 👍I want to use the bone phones sometime for land hunting, turkey season would be a good time. 😀 

Just want to know my options. 🤔

Yeah, jumped in here a little late.  There are a couple of issues with what folks are suggesting here.

First, the WS6 cannot be used as a Master (for TID indication and coil control) with the RC acting as a slave whose sole purpose is to run the bone phones   Just no provision for that setup whatsoever from what I can tell, and I did look into tge possibility of doing that..

Second, even if you could fashion a home-brew adapter to enable the Bone Phones to be terminated with a 1/8 inch plug, one must be mindful of the fact that XP has implemented the bone phones to be optimized solely for use with the RC using the dedicated "bone phone" audio pins on the multipin connector that are separate from the "standard" audio pins.  These pins appear to "hard key" the bone phones to shift the RC into "bone phone" mode which keeps the user from selecting PWM audio on the remote and it appears the remote also likely shifts into higher audio amplification and/or impedance matching as evidenced by the increased power drain when using the bone phones.  By fashioning the the bone phones to plug into a 1/8 jack off the WS6 or via the 1/8" jack adapter plugged into the remote control, that hard keyed limitation is effectively bypassed and I am not sure of the downside to using the bone phones in that manner (e.g., poor audio fidelity, insufficient bone phone amplification).  Who knows? 

Thanks for the input. 

If I knew the impedance and amplification requirements, I could try to amplify them, but it seems like a lot of work. I see an XP armband for the previous version of the Deus. Might be worth a try.

Be careful, that armband pouch is sized to just fit the D1 RC which is significantly smaller than the D2 RC.  I doubt the D2 RC will fit by itself and it would definitely be a no-go with the bone phones plugged in for sure.  You would be better off finding some sort of 3rd party neoprene windowed phone holder you can strap to your forearm for screen view.  Since the XP D2 remote is fully waterproof (even with the bone phones plugged-in) whatever pouch you use just needs to secure the phone but does not need to be sealed up (and you would not want it to be if you are running the bone phones cable out from the pouch).  

Another approach would be to just wear a fishing/hunting/photography vest or "running vest" setup with a chest pocket where you can mostly hunt by ear and periodically just pull the RC out of the chest pocket for TID viewing as needed.
