I have been interested in getting into detecting for a while and have been doing a fair amount of research on machines and pricing. I have pretty much decided on getting the Simplex for now and then moving up to a more advanced machine once I get some experience under my belt.
I am looking for a beach/shallow salt water detector as I live on the east coast of Florida. Might do some park land hunting but mostly I think I will be at the beach for now.
My main question is about the wireless headphones, are they waterproof, water resistant? As I live near the beach and plan on being in the water quite a bit I would hate for one rogue wave or fall to ruin them.
Also I am bigger guy at 6'2" with a good sized melon how comfortable are these headphones?
If they arent, I think this unit is Bluetooth. So can I pair any bluetooth headphones to it, if so I can just get a set of wireless waterproof bluetooth headphones instead of spending the additional $80ish to order the kit that includes.
I have read quite a few threads extolling the virtues of this machine especially for those that are new so I am guessing it is well worth the cost at around $260 shipped, any thoughts from anyone with some extensive experience owning one here?
