Creative Labs Low Latency Sound Blaster Jam Headphones - [ Ссылка ]
1Mii Bluetooth Transmitter - APTX low latency - [ Ссылка ]
This solution works for any metal detector - I happen to be using a Minelab Xterra Pro. I have also tested this with a Rutus Alter 71, Deeptech Vista Gold Gain and Minelab Equinox 700
PROBLEM - if you buy any old Bluetooth Transmitter and pair it with a regular pair of Bluetooth headphones you may suffer a delay. This latent loss means you will hear the BEEP when the metal detector coil is 30 - 40cm away from the actual target. NO GOOD - I tried this initially with some lovely Sony Headphones and a Minelab Vanquish but it was impossible to use.
SOLUTION - APTX or LOW LATENCY headphones and Bluetooth Transmitter. The models I bought from Amazon were the Sound Blaster JAM V2 Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headphones with (APTX Low Latency) link - [ Ссылка ] and this 1Mii Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter with 3.5mm Jack Plug - [ Ссылка ]. Now I can detect with some reasonably priced headphones wirelessly connected to my Minelab Xterra Pro metal detector without any DELAY in audio.
CHARGE both units with supplied leads and USB plug.
PAIR the HEADPHONES to the TRANSMITTER. This is easy enough. Press and HOLD the ON switch of the CREATIVE LABS headphones (right side, large disc). Put the TRANSMITTER in to TX mode (slide the switch) and PRESS and HOLD the circular button. In a few seconds the headphones will say "PAIRED" or similar. Then just plug the headphone socket in to your metal detector and swing that coil over a target.
I believe the delay is less than 50ms - I genuinely couldn't notice it when metal detecting. I have now LIVE DETECTED on several occasions with this set up and it's worked perfectly. I have found the targets accurately without any problems.
REMEMBER - this solution will work with any metal detector with a 3.5mm audio jackplug. Simply charge both units - plug in the audio leads and PAIR the headphones with the transmitter = you now a LOW LOSS / LOW LATENCY Bluetooth heaphones solution for your metal detector WITHOUT spending over £100 on a Minelab pair.
NOTE - there is a low buzz that you can hear sometimes - it's very quiet but it's definitely there. I got over this by turning the THRESHOLD volume of my Xterra Pro to about 10. It's one of those noises that your brain will filter out soon enough.
