Metal detector headphone information page how did we find the new Sprite© headphone range.

Here you can advertise your metal detector free of charge

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 don't 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 headphones passed our tests with flying colours.....these kiddies are a bit special, originally designed to compliment today's modern machines such as the Rutus Jupiter, Cibola, Trident, Rapier, Tejon, Lobo, Wolftrax, Teknetics T2, Fisher F75, Whites DFX, MXT,V3i and Gold Maxx power V4 which have a very finicky target signal which can sometimes be very hard to distinguish iron from good targets.
 Please note Sprite Digital's will also work perfectly on all other machines, they have a reversible lead to switch from Mono to Stereo applications.
Note :  Sprites will not work on the Nautilus Range

Sprite Digital headphones are ideally suited for those who search junky sites and like total clarity in the target signal

Did we find Sprite 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 today's modern machines to a different level with a sharp clear tone, which improves target identification, and more important target separation when next to Iron.

Do loud headphones allow you to hear faint signals?
The Sprite Digital's were not the loudest we have used....we found you actually hear more faint targets due to good sound quality not the amplification.

Summary
Fantastic... absolutely first class...Some headphones are built to a price.....Sprite headphones are built to a standard


Sound description....light zing more treble than most headphones, very clear and precise target separation and no distortion.

Sprite headphones are strong, weatherproof and durable, the comfortable deep ear cups 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 fitted with a curly lead.


         
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.

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 finicky 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 today's 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 !

 

Just for fun
Here are some sound files for you to compare

Remember this is just for fun the sound recordings are not brilliant !!!
These sound files are recorded real time from inside the headphone cups using a cheap skype mike.
The first set of bleeps are similar priced top of the range headphones.
 The second set of bleeps are the same machines and the same targets using Sprite Optima headphones.
Now you can judge for yourself
