As we age, our hearing response changes.
Some people have dropouts (reduced response) to certain ranges of frequencies. Selecting a range that you can hear clearly is important for obvious reasons.
If you hear both tones well, then it would be a matter of preference. One of the reasons I chose my C is the sound that comes out of it. After watching countless videos of different detectors squeaking, squawking, beeping and dinging, the Tesoro sound was the ticket. I can't imagine a 5hr hunt listening to some of the detectors out there.

Some claim that with the high tone, you can tell when you are over a piece of iron by the snappy sound of the signal.
I have a high tone model and used a low tone Cibola for a while.
I definately liked the high tone better.
It seems to alert me to a signal better and seems I can get more information from the signal from the high tone.
I have other machines that are multitone and the higher the tone, generally the better the target so to speak.
This is one reason I opted for the high tone.

I have the high tone Vaq, and a lower tone Compadre.
I bought the high tone because I thought it would be a better match to my older ears, but I seem to hear all signals very well at both frequencies.
Maybe I am just used to the higher tone after hunting with it longer, but I think it is a bit more pleasant sounding to me, overall.

I also have the high tone Vaquero that I use with volume controllable ear phones. Some days my hearing is worse than other days, with the high tone and ear phones, I am able to adjust perfectly the pitch that I need to make the finds. Happy hunting.
