Quality Headphones

[detectorguy]

Hello from central Illinois. I've got a Minelab Explorer XS and I use some Timberwolf Lobos headphones and my backup Killer Bees headphones have taken a dump on me. I would like to get me a quality set of headphones for primary use and move my Timberwolf headphones to the backup position. Since it has been a couple of years since I've been heavily involved in detecting I'm wondering what is out there to choose from. What do you Explorer users say?

Myself I like detectorpro headphones, well made and work just fine.

Any specific model you prefer?

DG, I just picked up a pair of Sunray Pro Golds and absolutely love them with my ExpSE.

Rat phones MSA blues. Hard to find but are comfortable and work great with the Explorer.

muggsc said it best. The theory is you are supposed to be able to hear the subtle differences in tones to identify 'iffys'. Why get headphones that don't reproduce the full sound spectrum hearable by the human ear?? After I tried the Blue Rats, and I was using Grey Ghosts and Killer Bees, I could immediately tell the amount of sound spectrum I had been missing. On top of that they use a common guitar cord that plug into the headphones and then the detector. No need to do anything except visit your local music store and get a new one when one gets damaged . The cords are often the main failure point. jim

Don't the Killer Bees have a lifetime warranty? Usually repair them for the cost of shipping them back to you.

I have 2 pair that need repaired - anybody know where I can send them for repair?

Blue MSA RATphones here too. Love 'em. But something like headphones really need to be tried first if at all possible. People's hearing varies, and will have a big effect on which work best. Plus they have to fit well and be comfortable.

I have been using the RAT max for a while now, I also own Killer B's There is a huge difference in sound. The RAT's are Fantastic I wish they will continue to make them.

I love my Killer B's (I have 3 pairs) and they have a lifetime warranty. Just send them in and get them fixed and save some money.

You have a SunRay dealer in Eureka Marty.

My Koss messed up and I picked up a pair of Killer Bees that work great on my SE Pro... Great tones and lifetime warranty!
