My Legend came in with v.1.07 so I hope it's not one of the bad ones! My first legend was in the first batch that came to the U.S so it was 1.04 so I know it has one of the first speakers that was used, but I have had absolutely no issues, I also do not run my volume maxed out on my Legend when just using the external speaker, when I am using the headphones i do run max volume in the Legend, again I have had no issues with the speaker at all My second Legend which I purchased to try to teach my wife how to detect was 1.05 and I had the dealer I purchased it from to update to 1.07 my second one I have also had no issues with the speaker quitting, but again I do not run either of my legends at max volume unless I am using headphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirius Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 There really isn't a need to run it at max volume unless you have trouble hearing it. Even with headphones I can hear plenty (even deep targets however faint), so I usually keep it at 1 or 2. I guess i'd be more concerned if perhaps submerging it causes the speaker to break faster? Though it's not much of an issue unless you're diving with it or you get caught by a rogue wave. Thus, I would conclude that it's probably just faulty hardware for some of the speakers and it's good that they addressed the issue early on for the most part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my point is if yours came with 1.09 from the factory, and the speaker went out it should not have if they actually upgraded the speakers. Like I said I do not max my volume out when detecting with the external speaker but I do when using the wireless headphones because the threshold does not work correctly with wireless headphones unless you do max the volume on the Legend, at least it does not on either of my two Legends, either way the speakers should have never started blowing and yes I agree with you that at least Nokta will fix them when the do blow, its just irritating to spend good money on a detector and then the speaker blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_ Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Quote All I know for sure is the device was shipped to me with v1.09 from a reputable Metal Detector dealer and the speaker stopped working. I do not know for sure but have no reason to believe the dealer who shipped it to me opened the box and upgraded the software prior to shipping. I did not run the device at maximum volume and even if I had the speaker should not have failed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirius Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Mine actually came as 1.07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
