Would love to have traveled down meet you Steve, unfortunately I cant make it this year with work commitments. I am sure you will have a great time chatting to some of the guys there, have fun mate.

btw I use SENSITIVE 5 TONES SQUARE.  From my testing I found 5 TONES to be a little deeper than FULL TONES  this is why I prefer to use 5 TONES .. 

I totally agree with you there, full tones is not as deep in my testing either. I have been using a 4 tone PWM setup most of the time, full tones just doesn't sound right to me. I do suffer from hearing loss, so that may be part of the problem. I will give the square tones another go after the next update.

Simon is right all original buyers will have the bad speaker including mine. I might get onto the aluminum can trick and get it over and done with. I really haven't been using it much lately anyway...

I have been patiently waiting for the said fixes, full tones is my preferred setting and cant wait for a fix...bring it on I say. Also hoping they make the square tones a little more pleasant, coming from a Minelab they sound very flat to me.

I don't think I can justify spending that much again at this stage, my Deus 2 cost me $2499 as well. Times are getting tougher that's for sure.

I been waiting as well, don't like the 11 and the 6 is to small. I just wish manufacturers would have the coils ready for us to buy when the machine's are released, even better, let us have a choose of which coil or coils we would prefer when we purchase the machine.

Sleek looking machine, cant wait to see more.

I love that coil on my machine Steve, I also have the 2 newer new machines, but gee the old Equinox still holds its own...in fact, it may still be the best in my eyes.

I noticed when I turn mine on and put the speaker close to my ear it sounds like a light scratchy threshold tone, it is not real loud just some sort of static. I have the threshold turned off on my machine so its not that. Maybe other Legend owners can see if there is any audible noise when the speaker is close by there ear.

Out of all the people it could have happened to that Nokta would really prefer it didn't .... Calabash

Looks like Calabash has blown speaker number-2... caught on video. It was his friends machine that was lent to him.

I couldn't get mine to work either using the 1.09 update software. I ended up uninstalling 1.09 software and reinstalling Nokta's 1.07 "Update Program Only" then loaded the 1.09 bin file when it asked and it worked straight away.

Seems to be a few going out lately, they are extremely loud I know mine is anyway. I have reduced the volume and audio gain right down on my unit.

Thanks for doing those tests Jeff, its great to see the results from someone who is unbiased and actually owns all 3 machines.👌

I haven't paired my Mi6 up as yet, I am going for a hunt in the next few days I must give it a try and see if it behaves the same...currently running 0.71 firmware.

Yeah I do believe the instructions and some of the wording in the manual needs an update, its just natural to plug in the 3 way cable as mentioned. Hell I did it as well after glancing through that first section,  I didn't expect it to be different coming from the original Deus as it had the 3 way cable for charging the lot.

The ports as Jeff mentioned are all mini USB ports. I can still charge the phones by the 3 way as long as it doesn't get bumped as mine falls out quite easily, but will complete the charge if I am careful. At least there is no way of damaging the port as there both the same connection, only one is a little longer than the other...

EDIT: Just to clarify, the Headphone Port is definitely not a USB type C connector.

Thanks Eric would be good to be young again lol. Love seeing your videos of Magnetic Island, I did visit once when I was much younger it is such a beautiful place.

I also read the instructions first and never tried to charge the WS6 puck with the three way as the instructions tell you it is for the WS4 & WS5 so forcing it into the puck probably results in damage of sorts. Anyway I’m loving my Deus and thank the good Lord and did as instructed and read the entire manual before I started with the detector. Good luck everybody.

I did read the manual the same as you did...but you would have thought the 3 way cable would do the RC,Coil and Earphones like it says in the manual (see picture below). I can tell you there is no chance of any damage to the puck whatsoever and if there was, who would be to blame...

I am not to fond of my WS6 phones either,  found that I have to pull my ears through the gap between the ear pad and stem to make it even bearable. I have trouble charging my WS6 with the supplied 3 way cable, the part that plugs in the module is much shorter and just falls out while attempting to charge them. Going by the book I have to use the single cable to charge the WS6 module, but the annoyance with that is I now have to use 2 chargers if I want to charge them all together unless I wait for the coil and RC to finish first then swap out the cable.

Just these little things that they pay no attention to detail with is really annoying, especially considering the premium price tag. Getting a little off topic but I have also noticed the coil cover is paper thin and very flimsy its nothing like the older Deus skid plate.

I love my 10 x 5 Coiltek, it is so light and just a pleasure to use. I use it to hunt parks, scrubby areas, old townships, pretty much everywhere except really big fields. I have a 6 inch coil as well, but I haven't used it since buying the Coiltek.

I wonder if that sort of tone might be more for diving mode, than general hunting.

Thanks Brad will come in handy, thanks for sharing mate 👍

Hi Dilek your company is amazing listening to its users, thank-you. I have 1 request, an easy way to reset the detector back to factory defaults without having to reset every user profile. That would be an Awesome Update...I use this on my Nox and normally factory reset before each hunt.

thanks unox

Steve that's a great idea and I certainly will do that, will be interesting to see how they compare and which one I prefer best.

Well its been a while since I updated this post, thanks to everyone for all the comments and recommendations, I ended up with both. 😂 Orx and a Deus. I have just got to spend time with them now and get to know there language😀 . Heading out on the weekend for some fun.

Thanks again guys, I still haven't bought anything yet. Unfortunately in Australia there are no good deals on new ones anymore, I don't recall us getting the offer of a free pin-pointer either😭. The prices have risen over the last couple of months, a new ORX now comes in at $1399.00 with wireless headphones. A little to expensive for me at this stage, I really think headphones should be part of any deal with detectors... I am pretty disappointed because they are $150 dearer than earlier this year.

cheers and merry Xmas guys
