You might get more views if you post this in the Equinox forum, but I’ll try to get you started on some possible solutions. First some clarification needed - The proper what? Headphones or adapter? I’ll presume you were referring to the adapter. When you say the GG’s don’t work - are you getting no sound or is the on-board speaker not cutting out? See below for more information on what works and doesn’t work as far as 1/4 inch adapters, headphones, and the Equinox. Also, you can get an NDT cord with a 1/8” mini plug that should plug right in without using the M/L adapter. Lots of good info in the Equinox Essential Info thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy 1951 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 i have the minelab adapter for the equinox 600. the sound on the detector does not shut off and the GG NDT headphones do not work but when i plug into the adapter my sennheiser 280 hd pro's everything works as it should! will try the 1/4 in mono to stereo adapter today! seems that should work possibly the ring is wired wrong and the adapter should solve the problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The problem you have noted is common to several Minelab detectors and they way they are wired as noted in Chases post and the links he provided. The mono to stereo adapter usually does the trick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
