Hello all,

Just thought I would let you know that we just released a new pair of Wireless Bluetooth Technology Headphones for use with your metal detector. We have tested them on many detectors and they work great. Find out more by visiting the info page at Kellyco listed below.

Happy Hunting,

Do they not work with Tesoro or does KellyCo just not mention Tesoro because they do not sell Tesoro? :mad:
 
Because we do not sell Tesoro, we have not tested the headphones on them but the headphones have a 1/8" audio plug as well as come with a 1/4" stereo adapter and a 3' extension cable with velcro strips for better placement of the Bluetooth transmitter on your detector and will most likely work on any detector that have a 1/8" or 1/4" audio input. So to answer your question, we do not mention Tesoro as being compatible because we have not personally tested the headphones on them. Hope this helps...
 
Thanks. Been thinking about bluetooth and I have had good experiences so far with KellyCo. Just always wonder why they do not sell Tesoro...
 
Well, as I value my job at Kellyco, I will only say it has something to do with the meeting of the minds between Tesoro and Kellyco owners. I am actually trying to persuade the powers that be at Kellyco to offer the Tesoro line of detectors but my last attempt was unsuccessful. I will try again in the near future but I might be beating a dead horse that has been dead for a while and smells worse with every strike... Ya never know though I am responsible for bringing in the Bluetooth Headphones and a couple of other new items so if they do well other new products may follow.
 
1. Can you explain how the setup is - where the wiring and transmitter are, etc.

2. will they work on my Fisher 1266 ?

3. What kind of money are we talking about.

Thanks , Steve in so az
 
Will the 1st person on this forum that ever gets them please post a review?
 
I have ordered a pair,...!

I did order a pair from Kellyco the other day, waiting for their arrival. I will post as to my experience with them. I use the Whites XLT, XL-1 probe, W/Sunray Gold HP's now, (which btw, I absolutely love them all) I am hoping with these Wireless HP's, I figure I should have the "Cat's Meow" in my hands!! :lol: Now, all I need to do is find the elusive treasures below ground! :yes: :spin:

Arizonakelly is correct however the headphones we sell have been tested on all metal detectors we sell and we have listed the detectors that they will work on at the kellyco website. The headphones also come with “closed cup” speakers (your ears are enclosed inside the padded speaker ear cups) to allow you to block out outside noise interference unlike the earbuds that ArizonaKelly uses.

Wireless Headphones and Transmitter

Hi, following your lead Arizonakelly, I just bought some wireless headphones and transmitter this evening on ebay for $24.99 (US). Sentry Wireless Headphones and Transmitter *BRAND NEW*, plus $9.99 shipping. I like the way it uses 2 AAA and 1 9V. batteries. I have plenty of rechargeable batteries that I take detecting with me. I will let you know how they work with my MD when it arrives and show a picture of it plugged into my MD. Sure hope it works. I like Kellyco but wanted to see if I could save some money. I wonder if another Metal Detectorist with wireless might accidentally hear my beeps that are being broadcast? Could prove interesting. ;)

Wireless headphones

Geesh, I thought I was getting a great deal but I paid too much again. $18.73 at Walmart. Please let us know how the setup is working with your MD.
 
I'd be in the market if it were not for the 1/8 connection; hate those things! And, I refuse to use the adapter to 1/4 inch as the headphone jack's on the rear of the Explorer SE and is in the most inconvenient spot Minelab could place it. One must wonder if the manufacturers use or test their products in the field.

How does the delay of the bluetooth signal affect detecting? Is it noticible?

I have read that guitar players find the wireless phones unuseable. Also some delay between the audio & video while watching movies.

I have heard that the delay is about 1 - 1.5 seconds.
I would think that the coil would be a ways away from the target by the time you heard the signal in the phones.
 
Well, looks like someone started marketing my suggestion finally. Not to steal your sales, but I think this is a rather hefty price when you can get basically the same setup for $30 elsewhere AND without a detector purchase.

Same setup at MalWart:

Online only it says, but I'm going to check the local store tonight.

I picked up the headset from MalWart today, about two weeks after ordering on-line. It takes two AAA batteries in the headphone, and 1 9 volt in the transmitter. Connected it to the GoldBug 2 and took it out to the backyard for a practice run. The cord plugs into the headset jack with the adapter, transmitter sitting on top of the box. Looks a bit bulky but the weight wasn't much more than without it.

There was no lag time in the signal, was able to find objects right where they sounded off under the coil. Don't know if that will be the case as the batteries wear out.

It was nice to be able to set the detector off to the side while digging, though there was a squelch tone if it got too far from the headset. I didn't extend the antenna on the transmitter, it would be a nuisance sticking out to the side of the box, and isn't needed anyway when holding the detector and working an area.

Biggest hassle is the volume dial on the headset, it's very small, and located at the bottom of the right earpiece, very hard to turn while wearing gloves. I turn the volume up to max on the GB2 and adjust volume at the headset which will take some practice to do with this headset.

I'm new to MD and maybe there is a technique to digging and keeping the cord to the headset out of the way, but I really liked being able to set the detector way off to the side and out of the way. I think I'll be using the wireless setup from now on.
