Definitive Bluetooth headphone set up.

Post by TheDonut »

So as the title reads .
Not after links to brands or anything , more about numbers and lingo.
So from what I'm reading here I need low latency transmitter and headphones/ earbuds.
So if understand correctly I'm looking for

Transmitter < 50 ?
Headphones < 50 ?
Both with acronym APTX ?

Cheers

I got these.... tried some £29 ones , small ear cup and screw forgotten in one ear cup so sent back, these are exactly the same a minelab ones without the logo, my legend ones worked on the minelab so I assume vis-versa they were £61 from memory

Ive recently purchased the feintech feinsound 1 Bluetooth 4.1 headphones for use with my equinox 800 they cost about 65 pounds .
They work perfectly well with the equinox and are very similar to the original minelab set. They've paired up no problem.
If you have Bluetooth on your machine they will hopefully work.

The key is that both transmitter and headphones are APTX Low Latency, sometimes seen as APTX LL. There are other APTX standards which makes it a little confusing too, so just make sure they are LL.

LL provides a latency of under 40 milliseconds, every other Bluetooth standard, including other APTX codecs are nearer the 100 milliseconds (or worse)*.

If both transmitter and headphones are not APTX LL, you'll get whichever has the worse latency.

Beware unscrupulous sellers on fleabay, Amazin etc as I have seen things advertised as APTX LL that weren't, if in doubt check manufacturer website.

One of the metal detecting online retailers currently has a deal on an APTX LL transmitter & headphone setup that is about £75.
