Minelab - ML80 - Wireless Bluetooth Headphones: The Minelab ML80 Wireless Headphones deliver clear, responsive wireless audio for compatible Minelab metal detectors using Bluetooth® and Qualcomm® aptX™ Low Latency technology. Designed to minimize the delay between your detector passing over a target and the audio reaching your ears, the ML80 provides fast target response without the inconvenience of a headphone cable. They're an excellent replacement or additional headset for detectorists using Minelab's previous-generation Bluetooth-equipped detectors. Bluetooth® with aptX™ Low Latency Ordinary Bluetooth audio can introduce noticeable delay—something that matters when you're swinging a metal detector over a small target. The ML80 uses Qualcomm aptX Low Latency technology to significantly reduce that delay, helping keep target audio synchronized with the position of your search coil. This provides: Fast target response Low-latency wireless audio Better synchronization with coil movement Cable-free detecting Clear target signals Official Minelab Compatibility The ML80 is designed for Minelab detectors using the Bluetooth/aptX Low Latency wireless system. Compatible With Minelab EQUINOX 600 Minelab EQUINOX 800 Minelab VANQUISH 540 Minelab GPX 6000 Important Compatibility Note The ML80 uses a different wireless system than Minelab's newer ML85 headphones. The ML80 should not be purchased as the wireless headphone for newer Minelab models that use Minelab's proprietary low-latency wireless system. For detectors such as the MANTICORE, EQUINOX 700, EQUINOX 900, X-TERRA PRO, and X-TERRA ELITE, look for the compatible Minelab ML85 Wireless Headphones instead. Up to 28 Hours of Battery Life The ML80 features an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing approximately: Up to 28 hours of operating time This provides plenty of runtime for long days in the field and multiple detecting sessions between charges. Wired or Wireless Operation The ML80 isn't limited to wireless operation. A 3.5 mm / 1/8" headphone connection allows the headphones to be used in wired mode when desired. This provides additional versatility and gives you another audio option if the headphone battery is depleted. Comfortable Over-Ear Design The ML80 features a traditional over-ear design intended for comfortable use during extended detecting sessions. The adjustable headband and padded earcups help provide a secure fit while also helping isolate outside noise so subtle detector signals are easier to hear. This makes the ML80 well suited for: Gold prospecting Coin hunting Relic hunting Beach detecting Park hunting Field detecting General treasure hunting Integrated Controls Convenient controls built directly into the headphones allow you to manage the headset without constantly reaching for your detector. The ML80 provides easy access to power, pairing, and audio controls for convenient operation in the field. Lightweight Construction At approximately 221 grams / 7.8 oz, the ML80 provides a comfortable balance between full-size headphone coverage and lightweight construction. This helps reduce fatigue during long detecting sessions. Important Waterproofing Information The Minelab ML80 headphones are NOT waterproof. Although several compatible Minelab detectors are designed for use around water, the ML80 headphones should not be submerged. For underwater detecting, use an appropriate Minelab waterproof headphone solution designed specifically for your detector. ML80 vs. ML85 ML80 Designed primarily for: EQUINOX 600 EQUINOX 800 VANQUISH 540 GPX 6000 Wireless Technology: Bluetooth + aptX Low Latency ML85 Designed for newer Minelab platforms including: MANTICORE EQUINOX 700 EQUINOX 900 X-TERRA PRO X-TERRA ELITE Wireless Technology: Minelab proprietary low-latency wireless The two headphones use different wireless technologies, so customers should select the model designed for their detector.
