Whats the difference in headphones.
I have used the Koss UR 30`s for the past couple of years, they are pretty good other than the fact the flex lead is a little short  I recently sent them off for repair to minelab ireland where to my surprise they replaced the lead for a longer one  B-) I guess they must be aware the original lead is a little short.

Cheers mrix,just noticed actually that they dont have volume control,on the safari im sure i heard des dunne say to keep the volume on 20 which is max,hope where not too loud,or can i just turn it down on detector,if so why do minelab recommend keeping it on full? gaz.. Fisher f19 and spade.

In some of the vids that Des Dunne does on the GT he refers to the volume control as away of adjusting your depth. I suppose Minelab's thinking on it is that it'll further amplify the very faint targets when on full volume but that isnt without compromise as when you hit a shallow target it can be quite loud in comparison. I normally leave the Sovereign's Volume control sitting at about the 3 o clock position that way there isn't an echo off the sound made from each target. The ideal solution is really leaving the machine at full on the volume but then slightly tweak the headphone volume for your own comfort. Although i'm no expert Rayzor i would imagine that in detecting it wouldn't matter what earcup to have what way around as it has to produce the same pitch and volume of tone in each ear. However, in musical compositions of songs the track has been mastered in such a way that there will be only certain sounds that come through the right ear and left ear vice versa to get the full surround sound emphasis of the music. A classic example would be Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen ... if you were to listen to it with one headphone, you would miss so many harmonies and other instruments that the other ear will be geting to balance it up when hearing the track in both ears.

I've noticed that there's quite a selection of headphones to choose from.
Not too many places to go and try them on to see how they feel on your head though. And why do some of them look like they were dropped out of a 1970's Harrier jumpjet pilots seat??? Have no fear, there is a well known high street shop that sells loads of different gaming headphones, with noise cancelling, that you can happily try on for fit, feel etc. I am curious as to the overall quality you get from a "detector designed" pair to a "gaming" pair. From what I've read some headphones offer different quality of sound when you find something. I wonder if this could be the next move in the advancement of detectors.. Full surround sound beeps
does depend a lot on machine
I use some High impedance homemade ones on my 1265X. I can tell some items are lead before it dug. Its best to match the specification of the headphones to the specification of the machine yet on a Garrett 250 that only has a bell tone it makes no difference. Also its not a Good idea to swap and change too often if you are pushing the machine to its obsolete limit as it take a bit to learn the sounds in one set of headphones. You do soon relearn but does take a few hours I have three pairs of headphones that I use with my Racer2, One pair is made by Philips and has mono/stereo switch and volume controls on each ear, these were great when I had my Garrett but were prone to slipping when I bent down, I'm now using the Makro red edition wireless phones and they are great as firstly they are light then of course there is no cable to worry about, I have not had any problems with losing signal but found pairing them the first time tricky ( there is a video on youtube) but once set they stay that way.
