With a recent eBay coupon, I purchased a set of GG Amphibians for my Equinox. They arrived on Saturday, and I tried them out yesterday at a tot lot. I could barely hear them! Turning up the volume on the Nox and the headphones gave me enough muddy audio that I could hunt, but there's no way that this set-up is going to work for water detecting. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to figure out if it's the Nox that's the problem, or if it's the headphones? I was thinking I could plug the headphones into something (looks like a fairly standard 1/8" jack), but I don't think I have anything with enough power output to make them sound "normal". Can I plug a regular set of headphones into the Nox jack, and try that?

Are those someones home made plug jobs?
When I first made mine they where quiet so I played around with the wires and got them loud enough that I actually turn the volume down some on the head phones unless in the surf.

I purchased these from a fairly well known online metal detecting company, so I'm expecting them to be from the factory. They also came with the factory warranty.
I'll compare the plug against a standard plug, and see if they are identical, then try a regular set of headphones, if so... I'll update this thread once I've done that.
Thanks!

They are not that loud with mid tones.

Put my stock ones back on, much louder. Keep the other for rainy days.
The ones I bought for my 800 work great and I'm hearing impaired. I haven't got to use them underwater yet just wading so far. do you have the WM800 module? if so, you could use it with a pair of wired headphones and check the volume.
I plugged in a regular set of ear buds, and they are much louder and clearer than my Amphis. I contacted DetectorPro, and am sending them in this week. I was hoping there would be some way to avoid this, but I know that when I get them back, they'll be right. DetectorPro has AWESOME customer service!
glad you found the problem. HH
