Sorry Carolina, I misread that those head phones could be used with the WS6, which would be no good to me as it's stopped working.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get a replacement I would think you would not subject yourself to the back phones again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To heck with this cheap recharging crap. I am simply getting a jumper cable made to run my favorite QUALITY headphones. I am not sure why anyone would buy any of those cheap non-Db rated headphones to put the puck on. [for beach hunting] I can tell you how many failures I had with my Equinox wireless in 4 years. Zip, Zero, Nada. Because I was connected directly to the pod with a jumper cable! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unox Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I am not to fond of my WS6 phones either, found that I have to pull my ears through the gap between the ear pad and stem to make it even bearable. I have trouble charging my WS6 with the supplied 3 way cable, the part that plugs in the module is much shorter and just falls out while attempting to charge them. Going by the book I have to use the single cable to charge the WS6 module, but the annoyance with that is I now have to use 2 chargers if I want to charge them all together unless I wait for the coil and RC to finish first then swap out the cable. Just these little things that they pay no attention to detail with is really annoying, especially considering the premium price tag. Getting a little off topic but I have also noticed the coil cover is paper thin and very flimsy its nothing like the older Deus skid plate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it won't start manually anymore.. I'm using the bone-phones on the beach for now but does anyone other than XP make wireless headphones for the Deus II? Or even wired head phones that'll plug into the control box?.. I think Tony Eisenhower makes his wired waterproof headphones with a D2 connector option but I don't have the info to get in touch with him. Maybe one of the other diver/beach hunters can help out with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Sorry to see more issues, but the good is.. that 5 year warranty of the D2. And I do hope Deus is learning from all of the post. Sad is, Minelab's has Not, I'm still seeing Excalibur cables rotting after a few years, and several of the other issues that plague them, than the Noxs..broken ears of the coils and IP rating of the control head of the Nox.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count myself so lucky not to have all the issues with my Deus ll. I have owned an 8 bank charger for years and years as many detectors from Minelab I own and others, did not supply one cable with several dongles for phones, and machines so no problem. I also read the instructions first and never tried to charge the WS6 puck with the three way as the instructions tell you it is for the WS4 & WS5 so forcing it into the puck probably results in damage of sorts. Anyway I’m loving my Deus and thank the good Lord and did as instructed and read the entire manual before I started with the detector. Good luck everybody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phones I suggested all have dB ratings and by no means are cheap. One set is rated at 131 dB and that’s pretty damn loud !!! All I have done for 40 + years is salt water hunt. I have just about got it figured out lol. I also have hard wired phones of my choice for the water so until my WSA ll XL phones show up, I’m as happy as a pig in mud. As always good luck everybody.

Also, Yes Tony does make waterproof headphones that connect to the Deus 2 and from memory -26dB rated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the headphones you listed have that ability. BTW, a good rating is around -28dB. SO IMPORTANT, to keep external noise out while beach hunting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
