What governs the audio pitch (high pitch/ lower pitch) in a set of headphones. Is it ohms, frequency, impedance, etc.

Thanks much friend for your response. But could you explain that in layman terms

The pitch (frequency of the tone) is governed by the driving signal output of the source (i.e. metal detector) to which your 'phones are plugged into.
The 'quality' of the electro- mechanical reproduction by your head-phones...(the resulting air-waves reaching your ears) is a factor determined by the design of the head phones, AND your own personal hearing function. (Your hearing frequency 'profile' or 'hearing-loss profile'
You may receive several differing replies.... based on each individual's perception;.....you then should then look at the overall consensus......Matt
P.S. The audio output, (PITCH) you hear, is mainly determined by what choice of 'audio' representations the detector provides...and subsequently, the mode...i.e. 'what-you-choose.'
Avoid 'complicated' variations of pitch.....Keep things simple...(just my personal opinion)......Choose a pleasing tone to catch your attention....maybe two or three if you want audible suggestion as to what category the detector assigns the received signal to........
That 'assignment'...is determined by COMBINED EFFECT of THREE basic factors...Your detector's transmitted FREQUENCY-ies....AND the target's THICKNESS.....AND METALLIC NATURE.
The point being......that a particular tone, does not necessarily represent a singular element of any target.
For example; A 0.95 silver ring of 1 inch diameter, and band thickness 0.2 inches, will produce a different pitch, compared to the same ring made with a 0.01 inch thick band....(IF the detector's audio system is such, as to vary continuously.(i.e. E-trac...Multi)
A different metallic ring, of different dimensions, MAY produce the SAME tone, if its combined factor are coincidentally 'equivalent' to the silver ring!
OR....the detector's audio system, is segregated into a few tonal 'bands' covering the entire discrimination range available.
Yes...metal detecting is an intriguing and complex science.... your skill/success is determined by interpretive methods you develop, as to whether to dig or not.

I suspect that the question you've submitted, is enquiring for opinions on which 'phones are 'best'.....and why?....
