Blue headphones

[togamac]

I've been using the blue headphones while wading because I kayak to my detecting spots and I don't want to dunk a pair of the black ones that are not waterproof. I just can not get used to the tones on the blue ones. They make a bottle cap sound like a coke can and seem to only have 2 tones instead of 3. My productivity has taken a nosedive! I'm going back to the black ones and will just have to be careful about getting them wet. Anyone else have similar problems with the blue ones?

My Blues have high,low,mid tones. They aren't as distinctive as the black ones but with practice you can determine the subtle differences.

You need to use them often in order to get used to them.

OR, the Gray Ghost Amphibians are more comfortable, have a longer cord, and sound better. I have a pair on both my ATPro and ATX...loving them. I also used them on the Infinium.

Just a note:
IF your speaker is still on when using the BLUE headphones you have an OLD model. The NEW model turns the speaker OFF and does seam to have a little different "sound" to me.

You know I can live with with the different sound of the blues. BUT, the volume is way too loud. And this is for a guy getting a little hard of hearing. I've tried stuffing them with soft rubber, to no avail. I believe you could hear them just wearing around your neck. Which I'm going to try. Anyone ever dry out a regular pair after a dunking?

just an suggestion, but using the blue waterproof head phones give you an additional 3" in depth! i have a pair i rotate between my gold and my pro depending on where im going to hunt. Just saying!
