Looking for good waterproof headphones. Would be wearing them with goggles and snorkle for rivers, beach and swimming areas.

I have been using the Gray Ghost Underwater for the CTX exactly like you are looking to and I have been completely satisfied with them. I thought the Gray Ghost Amphibians that Penzfan mentioned were for the AT Pro's and Infiniums?

Right, but those are not made for the CTX, they have to be modified.

I make Headphones just for the 3030, waterproof or wading. Harold
With (HR Headphones) you can finally take advantage of all the Volume Controls on the CTX. Volume Gain, was meant to be used as an additional tool to distinguish between large OR small targets and deep OR shallow targets. With the waterproof headphones previously on the market for the CTX, you could not take advantage of the volume gain with high ambient noise, you always needed full volume or you would miss targets. Now with ( HR Headphones) you can use all the volume adjustments to your advantage, these headphones are made one at a time, they come with a CTX connector or with no connector, (your choice). If you already have a connector and want to send it with your payment I will install, saving you the additional cost. They are highly water resistant but are not made for diving, Payment accepted, postal money order, also check once cleared at bank, shipped only to the continental US.
Prices:
140.00 no connector, 150.00 with connector, You can get me at dralph2@tampabay.rr.com

Thank you for the reply. The dealer is having to send me a new 3030 as this one has issues with the Lower and upper shaft build thickness and will not assemble. So they are sending me out a new one. Once I get it In hand and working I'll give you an order. Warranty?

Since i have not received anything back about warranty has anyone converted the GGA with using the CTX 3030 plug themselves?

Yeah that are only the underwater version. I thought i seen somewhere someone was making and selling the Amphibians with the CTX plug and warranty.
What i was refereing to about the warranty was about Harold in Fla post about his headphones.

I bought the Gray Ghost waterproof headphones in 2017, used them for about 2 weeks. In 2018 used them for 4 months and they started to go bad. Loss sounds/signals, cracking noise, low volume or none and intermittent. I traced the problem to a possible broken wire inside the headphone cable where it goes into the headphone jack on the CTX 3030. In searching my written literature for trouble shooting, I discovered the Gray Ghost Warranty card that I was suppose to mail-in within 14 days of buying the Gray Ghost headphones, so I guess I'm out of luck regarding the lifetime warranty. Was looking to buy another waterproof headphone manufacturer and came across two that look identical - one is sold on Amazon (Minelab CTX 3030 Waterproof Headphones Garden Accessory, made by Minelab) listed at about $93.00 and good down to 3 meters/10 feet (also found at Serious Detecting for $149.00). These have very poor reviews. There appears to be almost identical headphones sold by others (e.g., Kelleyco) made by Koss for the Minelab CTX 3030 for $149.00 that are good to 200 ft. Without further info, I'll probably go with the the Koss headphones for $149.00, but can't get over the poor quality Ghosts and hate to spend about $50.00 more for the Koss vs the Minelab, if I don't need to. Any feedback appreciated.

Update
After much searching and posts, I decided on the L. S. Pelso waterproof headphones for my CTX from Kellyco for $129. They have excellent volume, pitch and tone. They fit well and have a good cord that isn't short. Also, in several posts, MDers have complained about low volume on some headphones, possibly because the headphone jacks are not wired correctly for the CTX. Sent in for repair the Gray Ghosts, and will use them for back-up.
