The new RC unit turned up today. I have it charging at the moment but gave it a quick test and everything seems to be working perfectly! It was definitely a hardware issue with the other unit. This unit pairs instantly with the coil and headphones even over distance unlike the old one. Looking forward to getting out not and trying the full set up.

A new RC unit has been shipped out. I should hopefully have it by the weekend. Hopefully that resolves the problem I've had. I think it must have been a faulty RC though because I've been out detecting twice now with the WS6 master setup and everything has been working flawlessly. I'll update once it arrives.

The RC arrived back at the store I bought it from yesterday so I am just waiting to hear back from them in regard to a replacement.

XP instructed me to send the RC back to the online store where I bought the detector. I finally managed to ship it today after some difficulty getting a courier that would ship a device with an installed battery! I am shipping from Ireland to France and nearly all couriers wouldn't take it. It's shipped now anyway. Definetly not the smoothest or easiest return I have made and there is some questions around my shipping costs as the shop is saying they won't cover my shipping costs. I have informed them that EU consumer rights laws say that all costs associated with a faulty product should be covered by the seller including shipping costs for sending it back. Given that it was faulty on arrival and given the cost I was expecting XP to be a bit more proactive. Not the best experience so far. I have already spent a huge amount of money on the detector only for it to be faulty, I don't want to have to spend more in order to get a working one.

Quick update. Currently communicating with XP support. I have sent them a video of the issue and they've asked if I've tried it out in a field away from EMI sources which I have both times I've had it out with the same results. I'm waiting to hear back from them.

I've checked all the volumes and the puck connection to the headphones is all fine. It does seem to be an issue with the RC unit by the looks of things. The WS6 powers on fine in slave mode and makes the little pairing jingle but no audio after that. Holding the RC unit close to the WS6 phones makes them magically start working again. Hoping to hear back from XP tomorrow. Bit of a sickener really

Yeah it's not ideal timing. I figured on my first trip out I had done something wrong or pairing had messed up but now I've looked into it a bit more I think something isn't right. In guessing it's the RC given the fact the WS6 works fine in master mode. I've messaged XP using their online contact form so hopefully I'll hear back soon. I can still use it at least but it's not ideal

Hey all, I bought my XP Deus 2 at the end of November but have only had a chance to get it out for two short sessions since. I had problems instantly with the WS6 headphones in that there was no audio coming from them. They turned on and paired when I turned on the RC unit but no audio. Eventually after a bunch of turning on and off they came to life and started working. Great. 20 mins later they went silent again. Pressing the buttons on the WS6 would make a tone in the headphones so no problems between the WS6 puck and headphone drivers. I got home, re-paired them and they seemed to be working ok at home. Then today I went out again and same problem. After getting home I tried to figure it out and am starting to think it's a hardware issue. When I turn on the RC unit, the WS6 headphones turn on and pair. The coil pairs with the RC and starts working but no audio through the headphones. But, if I hold the RC unit up close to the WS6 headphones (within an inch or 2 of the puck) after 3-5 seconds they come to life and start working. I am thinking there is an issue with the bluetooth antenna. Now, if I leave the RC unit out of the equation and turn the WS6 headphones on directly, they pair with the coil and work perfectly. So I am starting to suspect the RC unit. Sometimes, it does seem to struggle when pairing with the coil. Or am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I am missing? I have tried running firmware 1.1 and 2.0 and the results are the same. Any help would be much appreciated. I have message XP about the matter so hopefully I'll hear back soon.

Hey all. I'm fairly new to the hobby from Ireland. I bought an X Terra Pro a few months back to give it a go and love it. Just upgraded to the XP Deus 2 which just arrived today and I'm looking forward to getting out with it this weekend! I've been doing some research on this forum and have picked up some great tips and advice. Hopefully in time I can give back a little and help others out too.
