[Steve Herschbach]

Seems an odd move supporting the completion, but I suppose they see it more as making money off the competition.

If they work with the Equinox 600/800 they will also work with the Vanquish 540, GPX 6000, and Nokta Legend. 

I have been using the same type of Quest headphones that work with the Deus 1, ORX, Deus 2 audio pucks along with a standalone pair that have their own 2.4 gHz transmitter for years. Sound quality and durability have been excellent with no problems.

Yep.  I too had a pair of Quests compatible with the XP pucks for years and picked up a pair of these Quest BT APTX-LL for Equinox not long after getting the Equinox 4 or 5 years ago.  At the time, they were the ONLY over-the-ear BT APTX-LL phones that were weatherproof, so I had no qualms using them in foul weather or when doing some knee deep wading.  Great audio quality and the also accept a wired input for backup passive audio if the battery craps out.  At the time these came out in 2018/19, Quest didn’t really have a product competitive with the Nox.  I think they do a brisk MD accessory  business by providing quality, widely compatible wireless audio accessories and pinpointers.
