Brad Plohman Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I tried out my new GGA IIs (for Deus 2) the other day and love them. They use the bone phone output instead of the wired headphone output and have tons of volume. I started with the volume at 6 but found that uncomfortably loud, so dropped it to 5 which is still plenty loud. I also like the sound quality, which I would describe as somewhat like the bone phones sound, but better and without that brain rattling big iron response. Comfort wise; the cup pads of these GGA IIs seem to be softer than any of my original GGAs. Nice molded, 90 degree m8 connector and glad to see they got rid of that cup mounted volume pot. Great job Detector Pro! (BTW that’s not a splice in the cable in the picture; I just have the cable taped to a large zip tie to keep it away from the handle) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Thanks for the info, Brad. I was eyeing these. So since the GGA II’s are using the Bone Phone output you are limited to Square Wave audio only, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to select the bone phones and the only option is square. If you select the wired headphones there is no output to these headphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Goldman Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hmm. I wonder if the battery drain is more or less than the Bone Phones. Detector Pro calls them "solid state", so I presume they are piezo (though I think using the term solid state is a misnomer with piezos since you still have to provide a small diaphragm to generate the audible pressure wave - "solid state driven" is more accurate or just use come right out and say "piezoelectric"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draw seems reasonable. I spent 4hrs in the water this morning hunting in a low target dense environment at vol 5 and the remote battery indicator still reads full. I popped one of the cups open to have a peak at the "secret sauce" and they're different from what I've seen in my original GGAs with the sealed piezo boxes but still appear to be very much piezo. Also I'm very happy to confirm this morning, they do report gold. 🙂 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dug Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I’ll likely get these. Thanks for the insight Brad. But first I’m going to attempt to diy a set via my bone phones and a pair of shooting muffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 PS Congrats on the Gold. Nice saves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
