Metal detector headphone information page how did we find the new Sprite range.
If you are like me you will have a large collection of broken metal detector headphones in the loft or garage, some with busted leads others that were just to uncomfortable to use, sadly I dont have the answer, even if you buy a new pair of headphones every Christmas it's still a cheap hobby.
It's not until you compare different headphones on one machine that you realise they can change it's sound characteristics quite dramatically...so dramatically you would be convinced its a different detector.
Sprite Digital headphones passed our tests with flying colours.....these kiddies are a bit special, originally designed to compliment the Tejon,
Lobo, wolftrax and Gold Maxx power V4 which have a very finnicky target signal and can and sometimes be very hard to distinguish iron from good targets.
Please note Sprite Digitals will also work perfectly on any other machine.
Sprite
Digital headphones are ideally suited for those who search junky sites and want total clarity in the target signal
Did we find
Sprite Digital headphones stand out from the rest are they really better ?
For the small group who originally tested them the answer was a 100% yes.... the dynamic Micro-film sound units were very sensitive to sound and tone changes...they are different and take the todays modern machines to a different level with a sharp clear tone, which
improves target identification, and more important target seperation when next to Iron.
Do loud headphones allow you
to hear faint signals?
The Sprite Digitals were not the loudest we have used....we found you actually hear more faint targets due to good sound quality not the amplification.
High Performance Sprites are very good general purpouse units ideal for those with hearing difficulties, we also found them to be a very good match when used with Minelabs the sound will be very simlar to popular US models costing almost twice the price.
3 models have been designed, Digital and Optima and Hi Performance all with superior build and sound quality.
Why 3 models ?...Basically we all like different sounds and use different machines, the chart below will help you choose what's best for your requirements.
We highly recommend you try them on your detector and hear the difference for yourself.

Sprite headphones are strong, weatherproof and durable, the comfortable deep earcups cut out nearly all external noise....Allowing
you to concentrate on those faint signals.
We recommend you use a headphone saver kit with any metal detecting headphones, as an introductory offer we will supply the kit free of charge with every purchase for a limited time.
Why is it so difficult to get a good set of
headphones ?
OK where do I start, back to the
introduction of the Gold Maxx I guess.
Way back in the early XP Gold Maxx days it became apparent
that the only way to get maximum performance and enjoyment out of
this machine was to use the small Sony back phones supplied with a
purchase. They didn't last long but were a necessary evil.
Light weight back phones
as supplied with the XP range
So many people like myself tried their own combinations desperate to replicate the Gold
Maxx's magic while using a better quality headphone, even grafting XP speakers
into ear defenders some how lost the crisp sharp sound of the back phones.
And now the Tesoro Tejon and Lobo have the same finnicky audio
signal, if your headphones don't match you will not experience the
machines full potential and have trouble identifying iron.
Take a look around and see what metal detector headphones are
available on todays market, if you're like me you have probably owned
most of them over the years. Even better drop into your local dealer
and actually try some on your machine.
You will find there are reasonably good
quality sets out there but as for some the words "money for old
rope" spring to mind. Despite their heavy thudding sound comfort has
always been an issue !
