Many of us have bought low latency Bluetooth transmitters and earbuds. They work well, cost less and you have more choices on the headgear.
Yes, this is what I did and really like wireless.
I bought a Trond aptX low latency Bluetooth TX and headphones.
Compatible with all detectors that have an audio output jack.
Worse case is you need to make a custom audio cable.

I was thinking about going this route and mounting it into a small waterproof case ( mounted on the detector) so I can still use it in the water.
I have a garret ace 250 and want to go with wireless headphones. I have looked at the z link system but wanted some second opinions before I spring for anything.

Thanx for all the input. I have decided on the ms3 zlink..My season has pretty much ended but I hope to get lots of use out of it next year.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Bluetooth travels very poorly through water.

That's correct.
Yes, BT runs at 2.4GHz and under water does not go far.
Does Zombie mean Under Water? or detecting in the Water, wading the shallows?
If wading the shallows this would work fine. If the detector's water proof case is plastic (non-conductive) then mount the BT TX module inside the case. Pair this with water proof headphones and you have a nice wireless beach detector.
I would be in the shallows, maybe the control panel might be underwater momentarily but not consistently. I was actually going to mount it into a small plastic waterproof case I have with the ability of taking it out for other uses and having a headphone plug available to plug in directly if needed.
