ok thanks. Ive read where several people use them on their legend. I know that a member, OldKoot uses a certain brand of the bone conductor phones an has no trouble with lag. Ill just keep researching. sorry about the double post.
I'm with you Picketwire, I use the vibration only feature. It doesn't attract attention and prolongs the battery life. All that extra connection stuff is just more to fiddle with and another thing that can break. Keeping it simple is the way to IMO.
I think the ones he uses are called Avantree torous. I saw them on Amazon but they are slightly more than 50 bucks. I did see a post on Detector Prospector about APX ll bone conductors. They list for 69 but have a 20 dollar off coupon. They are called Ziocom open ear Bone conductor headphones. I'm told they are actually air conduction not bone conductors. I lost my bone conductors last year so I'm going to give them a try. I'll let you know what I think.
Received the Ziocom open ear headphones the other day. Charged them up. They paired up to the Legend within a few seconds. The LL icon was displayed on the screen. Air tests showed no delay. IMO they could be louder but for me they will be fine. The only issue I see if there excessive wind/wave or traffic noise. When the weather is warm, wearing headphones, it doesn't take long for me to get aggravated when the sweat starts dripping. The battery life is advertised at 8 hours. A long hunt for me is usually around 6 or 7 so that shouldn't be a problem. Doesn't mention anything about waterproof or rain resistant I may field test them
Ziocom model LK02 from Amazon. I did some air tests with them and they worked fine. No lag. I went over to a neighbors yard which he has dug up. Found a few pennies. They are not real loud but loud enough for me. And I have Hi-freq hearing loss above 3k. As I posted earlier hunting close to traffic, waves at the beach or high winds could be a problem. Overall a keeper for me. Mark
Are these the same? DGLKO2.
Amazon link please
Sorry, whenever I try to post a link it doesn't seem to work for me. If you go on Amazon and type in Ziocom LK02 I'm sure they'll come up 69.99 with a $20ndollar off coupon.
Not sure
Those are the ones OLDKOOT uses. I think for me in hot weather them sticking to my neck would be irritating. Same goes for the connecting cord between my earbuds. When sweating they have a tendency to stick and when I turn my head they get dislodged or come all the way out. Hence the bone conductors. Just my 2 cents. And by the way a 2 cent'r is #1 on my bucketlist for coins.
that is not exactly true
yes sir I use the Avantree Torus with every detector I own and I love the Torus, they work fantastic, do not purchase from amazon if you decide to Purchase the Torus, purchase them directly from Avantree amazon you only receive a 1 year warranty on the avantree site you get a two year warranty and you do not have to register them as avantree keeps a record of your direct purchases for warranty purposes for you
