about the Fisher headphones I got with my detector...any good?

[sgoss66]

I posted this message over on the Gold Bug/G2 forum, but haven't gotten answers yet.

Has anyone used those black Fisher headphones yet? I got a pair for free with a recent purchase of a Fisher Gold Bug DP (thanks Richard at Backwoods Detector Sales!) I have never owned a pair of high-end headphones, so I have nothing to compare to -- thus, I was wondering anyone can offer a more "educated" opinion as to whether these headphones are halfway decent? Is there anyone who knows much about what "good" headphones are, and has tried these Fishers, who is willing to comment? Are they good enough that they'd be an upgrade to an old Calrad pair I have? Or, should I keep them just as a backup pair? Any comments? They seem to be nicely padded and comfortable; just wondering about how well they might translate the sound into my ears, as compared to a decent pair of headphones...

Steve,
I gotta pair with my F70 too...they have volumn control on each side, and seem to work fine...I'm sure some of those other brands the more experienced folks use are prolly way better...one thing I learned, turn the volume up on the detector to full power on, and adjust livable volumn at the headphones...seems to help hear those tiny deep peeps..especially fast swinging like I do..I do tend to hate the cord though, and would like to go wireless someday...so if anybody out there is listening, whats the best recommended wireless set up?

Thanks for the feedback Mudpuppy...I assume they are not "top of the line;" wonder how they stack up against some of the better pairs...

Steve,
They are actually decent. My son uses them when he goes with me.

Hmm...thanks for the feedback on them, Bart. Good to know. I'll give them a shot.
