So you are NOT getting the "+" symbol with the bluetooth symbol on the Equinox?  Like I said previously, this is the way to tell with certainty that the earphones are or are not APTX LL, no guessing required.  No "+" symbol, then they are not APTX LL.

Any latency issues really show up when you are trying to fast wiggle across a known target as shown below:

 

                                                                                   Y<------d------>X<------d------->Y

 

The more quickly you wiggle over the target center X, with a lot of latency you will hear "apparent" phantom target signals Y to either side of the X and the distance d increases with increased latency or if you swing with a higher frequency (i.e., higher coil speed).  The delay results in you hearing the target at each of the "Y's" vs. the X where the target actually is.

No I'm not seeing a + sign.  I'll try it on a hunt and see how it go's.    Brent

To bphill-

They are likely not APTX LL which has significantly less latency than APTX.  I have not found a set of waterproof APTX LL earbuds for sale anywhere.

If you can verify that they actually give you the bluetooth symbol with the "+" sign when you pair them up with the Equinox (indicating they are actually APTX LL)  that would be great info (along with the manufacturer and model number).  APTX is barely useable from a latency standpoint.  Regular non-APTX BT fuggitaboutit, not usable.

 Well I tried my new wireless earphones[MPOW judge model MPBH083AB] and I was able to pair it with the equinox. I didn't notice any latency problems at all. I did notice the tones sounded a little different but other than that it seems to be ok. I do not believe these are the LL version.  I will try it on a hunt and see if it still seems to work ok.

fair enough,  I actually hadn't even thought about using them for my equinox as I bought them for my phone. I'll try to pair them with my detector and if successful [or not] I'll let you know.    Brent

there are numerous APTX wireless and waterproof earphones on the market. I just purchased a set on Amazon that were under $30
