I would be very careful about doing that, Coz the sales Rep over here had the Deus hitting coins Buried at 17" and threw out a challenge for people to bring their own coins and detector to see if they could beat it, and I don't think anyone sdid,

Just a "small" price difference.

MX Sport unboxing and review video, it's pretty informative.

 Thanks for posting the video. I'm looking forward of seeing more.

Audio is hard to understand until the 13 minute mark, no field review or air test, otherwise ok, and I enjoyed watching his cat

Does our moderator ever do YouTube videos?

I messed around a bit shooting video last year so maybe someday. Until then here is one from a guy who just got his new MX Sport.....

I hear some of these YouTube stars are just  kids and make  6 figure incomes , wonder how they do it? Could be Steves new calling...

I've got to thank those that go through the trouble and time of making detector clips for others to watch. Much appreciated by myself and I'm sure others.

Could be a lot of downside to the MXSport. Does not seem stable in either tone or numerical ID even on benign ground. 
Rain proof, yeah no worries there, suits me. But this so called Multi Purpose unit sure seems weak in many areas.
And the all metal mode seems extremely weak, much like the MXT is weak in comparison to the GMT.

I'm not necessarily having a go at Whites or the new MXSport, merely talking about Audio and numerical segmentation across the board with nearly all manufacturers units made today and in the previous few years.

Audio is so important to us for identifying both targets and ground make-up when detecting, and a pleasant audio when the volume is set for each individual hearing is paramount for long detecting sessions and extremely important for no residual hearing damage.
But I gotta say that there is no way I could have those horrible tones or squelchy threshold in my hearing longer than 5 minutes.
But that is common on Whites units, SST, MX5, M6. 
Also the grating flutey tone of FBS, horrible.
Even the buzzing all metal threshold of the F19, which is a favorite unit of mine, I think in the end I'll suffer the hearing damage I had for a while from Sovereigns years ago.

I think Whites and all other company's have a long way to go yet for improvement of both Tone and Numerical, or decisive Segment Placing, and by now it should have been done. It's the year 2016. 
There is no excuse for it. It is bad engineering!

We are only just starting to see the beginning of true Ergonomic Shafts. 
But I think it it will be years before we see nice Audio come along again.
Kinda makes you want to go back to an old clear single tone ground balancing unit with a small to mid coil on and judge a targets size and depth by ear again. I swear some of those 20 year old detectors are leaps and bounds ahead of most of the newcomers.

The engineering teams that group-up for the planning of a machine most definitely should have an engineering Audio Specialist as leader of the group.

I began to fall victim of the hype but the release of just these few little clips has changed my mind. The weight and the lack of accessory coils until some future date was also a turn off. I think that what we may see is the changes in function as happened when the ATP first hit the shelves. Those changes should be reflected on what is being talked about throughout  these threads.
