Question about headphones for MDing

[Hightone]

It's been a while since I posted here. But I thought I could get some input from users here.

I want a good pair of phones for my Deleon. It appears that Ratphones and Grey Ghost are in the range I want to spend. I can't find any dealers that have Ratphones in stock (must be good). I lean towards the Ratphones. Any input is appreciated.

Hey Dan the maker of the Ratphones has put them on hold right now. His home page says he is "reworking" them.

I have and really like a pair of Sunray Pro Gold phones. Very well made and really pick up the soft sounds. I like that they fit my big ole noggin and are comfortable to wear all day.

SUN RAY PRO* HEADPHONES

Now that being said I really think any of the high end metal detector headphones will work well. Try to find a dealer if you can and try some on. Also give our sponsors a call to see what they can do to help you out, Beale.

Hey Dan, I got a pair of Ratphones from Rick that has the Soveriegn GT Modification on them. I really like them, but the only thing I wished they had is a volume control. They can be used with any machine that has a volume control. Using them with a Ace 250 is really hard on the ears, real loud.
Maybe the new ones will have a Volume control on them.

Thanks for the reply. Understood about the upgrade to the phones. The ones I saw did have separate volume controls. And the way you change from the 2 to 3 input plug was by reversing the cord rather than a small switch, allowing the change needed from Garrett, Minelab to Tesoro, Fisher, etc.

I will look at the Sunrays though. I heard someone say the Troys were good also. Like you guys said, probably can't go wrong with either of the higher end line, but anything is better than these I got free back when I bought the detector.
