Been trying to research this but it leads to a lot of confusion on my part. I'm sure it's mostly me not understanding the lingo. I already have a set of bluetooth earbuds and was wondering if there is a way to use them while metal detecting as I find the headphones REALLY uncomfortable. (I have big ears haha) Can someone tell me what I can use or should purchase that is compatible with the ACE 400?? Thanks in advance!

You need a Bluetooth transmitter, a cord with 1/8 inch (3.5mm) male on both ends (probably comes with the transmitter), and an adapter to switch from that 1/8 male to 1/4 inch male into the detector.

Watch this video. He's using an ACE 400

One thing to keep in mind is the latency with bluetooth. the signal will get to the headphones a fraction of a second later than when the detector sends it (half second? Quarter second? It depends on the transmitter and headset) so that will impact pinpointing somewhat.
