andy g Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 hi all has anyone had trouble with pairing the 600 with aftermarket headphones i ordered a pair of low latency aptx bluetooth head phones which paired fine but just made a crackling sound so tried some cheaper ones i had in the house and none of them paired at all so went back to crawfords who tried the tronds on another 600 and the same again and tried pairing the other phones i took still would not pair on the shop 600 only phones that paired and worked fine were the mindlab ones so had to buy them so was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with after market headphones even tried a pair of £200 beats headphones from the guy across the road and again they paired but no sound just a faint crackling sound could be heard the guy in crawfords was very helpful and is going to contact minelab and ask them about it so if anyone has had this problem to i would like to hear from you regards andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 No, I have not had any problem pairing aftermarket headphones. Bluetooth is Bluetooth. There is nothing special about the Minelab phones. They are in fact aftermarket phones with the Minelab logo on them. Are you doing a full factory reset to clear the machine between trying different headphones? Prior thread on same subject.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy g Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 hi steve yes we tried on both 600s mine which is only a a couple of weeks old and a demo 600 in the shop was the same out come like you said bluetooth is bluetooth but it was the same on both 600s the trond headphones pairied with both but getting a crackling sound and my other cheap head phones would not pair with mine or the shop 600 so very strange thank you for the reply andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The key might be “cheap headphones”. Just a reminder... even on Amazon for quite some time counterfeits were common. They have been trying to clean it up but they give space to third party outfits and not all can be trusted. Bottom line I suspect your headphones more than the detector.

andy g Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 hi phrunt the trond headphones are low latency as the plus sign shows up on the 600 screen so if they were just bluetooth you only get the bluetooth sign and the tronds are ll aptx 4.2 what is says are ok in the instructions but saying that i think the minelab ones are 4.1 so maybe that is the problem can only use 4.1 LL phones thanks for the info andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDog25 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I am having the same issue. I have ordered three sets of headphones and all of them pair to the Nox but I get a crackling sound when swinging the machine. I have an old pair of non-aptx-ll headphones that worked fine but they quit taking a charge. A co-worker let me borrow his Lg Tone Pros and they seen to work pretty good but from time to time I still get the scratchy audio. I emailed Minelab and they just told me to try and find somebody that has the factory headphones to test mine with. The problem is that I don't know anyone that has those headphones so I have know easy to check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
