NSC Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi from Downunder, I was wondering if any 800 users out there had used non Minelab brand bluetooth earphones or headphones yet ? ...and if so, what type they used. I am looking to purchase bluetooth earbuds as headphones get very hot for me (its Summer here) I am hoping to find out if I need to buy standard Apt-X or if it needs to be Apt-X Low Latency Low Latency will offer the same no lag as the Minelab WM module or the headphones - Standard Apt-X may have too much lag or delay Apt-X LL cost $170 versus standard Apt-X or Apt-X HD $50 (these prices are in Australia) I know I can use the WM module with my choice of earbuds as this is what I have been doing but I hope to go truly wireless soon. Thanks in advance and happy hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP.Diggzzit Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have the 600 and purchased aptx earbuds from Amazon ($20). They are not LL but I do not notice a lag at all. I bought a pair of low latency over the ear headphones as well, but I think I will end up using the earbuds more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfarer Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I bought some Avantree Audition Pro headphones off amazon for $60 and they work great. They are aptx-LL. I would strongly urge going ahead and buying the low latency versions of whatever you decide on. The regular aptx is 100-150 milliseconds delay, but the low latency is only 40 ms. Some people notice the higher latency. I’m a real stickler for fast audio, so I didn’t want to take any chances and went ahead and sprung for the low latency. Pairing is very easy since the Equinox was designed to work with the aptx protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetectingMO Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 these are great! more rugged than avantree. similar weight and feel as makro/nokta https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075VLWPXF/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1519433188&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=aptx+low+latency&dpPl=1&dpID=414mRSlypwL&ref=plSrch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSC Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Thank you all for your replies. I really do not want another pair of headphones - I am looking for in ear earbuds/ earphones There are not a lot of Apt-X Low Latenecy earbuds out there ( for Aussies anyway) So far the best I can find in Australia is the Sennheiser cx6.00BT (Apt-x LL) $150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I need a "treble" boost to compensate for some hearing loss I have and to better respond to the typical frequencies in detector audio. Too much bass and you could get hum, pop, and loud low iron tones. I agree the Avantrees aren't super rugged. Very light and comfortable, though. Is it possible to turn off the bass boost? The reviews said no, but maybe you found out differently, because these otherwise look like great headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSC Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Another very nice looking set are the brand new EOZ AIR bluetooth 5.0 Apt-X LL ....but they are taking Pre Orders as they are not quite on the market again and I am not sure I want to go there so soon after waiting for the Nox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the follow up. Based on what you are saying, the bass boost is probably not noticeable then with typical detector audio frequencies. I’m going to go ahead and order them and see how they compare. They definitely do look more rugged. It’s just nice that we have so many aftermarket choices. P.S. I just ordered the Tronds you recommended and will compare them side by side with the Audition Pros and will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
