Title: Garrett Z Link wireless headphones update.
Post by: Keith67 on December 21, 2016, 06:55 pm

I see that Nigel has commented on FB that the new Garrett wireless headsets will be available late Feb to early March.

rrp £127.99, not cheap but 30 hours battery life between charges, impressive.

Indeed the battery life is exceptional plus no delay or should I say the delay is so slight you can't detect it.

Looks the business and decent battery life Rew, shame the price wasn't nearer the ton mark.

Maybe there will be a deal or two knocking about, but I guess that battery life is their trump card for the high price.  Others will follow.

I think Garrett is just repackaging China product into their own custom design case. Cases are bigger to hold a larger battery to give you the longer run times.
From the specs I saw, appear to be the same specs as most wireless on the 2.4ghz frequency.

Think they see Deteknix making adapter modules for the Garretts as well as others so, making big profits, so they are getting in on it. To capture the market--longer run times.
Probably see Fisher and White's get in on it next.
Just seems like accessory prices are going up and up.....

I am curious to see if they are made in the US  and not in China, its very well possible.
