Wireless headphones for GPX4500.

[Rick56]

Greetings all. I have the minelab bluetooth receiver and I’m looking for suitable headphones. I understand they need to be low latency. So, what brands are recommended please. H

I'm assuming you've got a ProSonic?
If so, it's not Bluetooth but Minelab's own proprietary wireless system. You'll need to use the sender on the GPX4500 to the ProSonic receiver (which you can attach to your harness etc.) then use wired headphones from it.
Good thing is there is a much larger selection of headphones to use.

Minelab currently only have Bluetooth in the Vanquish/Equinox & GPX6000.

Thankyou for replying. Miners Den sold me a Bluetooth tx/rx for $95:00. They were out of stock with headphones at the time. I was wondering what other headphone options were available. They need to be low latency as far as I know

Ok that kit is a Miners Den supplied product (not Minelab).
https://www.minersden.com.au/Miners-Den-Bluetooth-Kit-MD-21The description on their website doesn't give enough detail in order to give you any 100% good advice.
You need to contact Miners Den & ask them for the specifications on their kit so as to fully understand the best option in Bluetooth headphones to suit it.

With these type of Bluetooth rx/tx devices "low latency" can be misleading as it can vary with many still not low enough for some to not notice the delay/lag (latency).

Ideally the device should really have the aptX low latency codec then you would need to find suitable headphones that also have aptX low latency like Minelab headphones ML80 & ML100 here:

If the Miners Den kit device doesn't have the aptX low latency codec then pretty much any Bluetooth enabled headphones should work but may have some noticeable delay/lag. It can unfortunately be a bit hit & miss trying to get a good matching set that won't lag too much.

I got in contact with Cory from Miners Den & he has confirmed that the MD-21 Bluetooth kit they are selling is indeed aptX Low Latency.
The Minelab headphones linked above or others that have aptX Low Latency inbuilt would be the ideal choice to get the optimum benefit.

Thankyou for replying. I ended up with the minelab set which seem to work pretty well.
