Michael Wells Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi All and happy new year from the UK. I do not think this has been mentioned but does the equinox come with a built in speaker? Simply because during the hot summer months I like to go topless so to speak and not wear headphones especially in the countryside where there are no folks to bother with beeping noises.

Brushcreek Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Yes, it does have an external speaker. You can also use Bluetooth earbuds on those hot days. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Happy new year i expect as in every other detector, using the speakers takes more power and will cause the batteries to drain faster. How much faster is an open question. I already bought a 9000 mAh charger I can use to recharge either the equinox or the Bluetooth headphones ( or earbuds) should either need a recharge while detecting. I'm going to have a holder for the charger mounted under the arm cuff or highest point of the detector so as to not disrupt the balance, which if anything is likely to the nose-heavy side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Both the Equinox 600 and 800 feature a waterproof external speaker with plenty of volume - something that I also like as an option on a waterproof detector. You can hear the speaker at work in numerous videos like this one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveg Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Steve, The WM-10 on the CTX obviously has a built-in speaker. DO I recall correctly that the WM-08 for the Equinox does not -- the only speaker being that on the control box? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
