Dear David,

You may recall about one year ago I contacted you with
regard to some of the finds I had made since using your cordless headphones.
The NCMD has annual competitions for best coin,best artefact,and best hoard
finds of the year. The trophy awarded for each competition is named the
"Robin & Karolyn Hatt Memorial Trophy" Thought you would like to be informed
that I have won the Best Hoard Trophy for 2007 while using your headphones.
Beating english and welsh detectorists and others in this competition has
pleased me greatly. It seems that this will become the first NCMD trophy
ever won by a scottish detectorist which is really something. The bronze age
hoard was found near Kinnesswood by Loch Leven. Many thanks once again David
for providing such a wonderful innovation.

Kindest Regards
Jim Crombie..

I am not going to ramble on about the benefit of cordless headphones. All I can say that once you have experienced the freedom and benefits, you will be converted. I can honestly say that you will not entertain headphones with a lead again.

The beauty about Highland Innovation’s Headphones is that they can be applied to any metal detector with a standard jack plug and for smaller size jack plug hole like the Minelab an adapter is supplied. I think the most important asset is that the machines do not have to be opened up and have a chip fitted to operate the headphones like some others.

The cost is also about 40% cheaper than the latter ones. The headphones are also of a better quality and do not have the foam ear covers that wear out or get lost. The volume can be adjusted and the tuning button is on the side of the headphone (as with other makes). The only 1 advantage of the XP headphones is that you can not use your own headphones in conjunction with them. I.e. with the XP headphones a section can be detached and the jack plug of another set of headphones can be plugged into it.

When I tried Highland Innovation Cordless in the field, I found them to be a lot clearer and sharper than other models that I had tried. And definitely more robust as not previously mentioned.So all in all save yourself lots of dosh and you don’t have to send your machine away to be tampered with. Highland Innovation Cordless Headphones are a must.

Metal Detector - Whites XLT 1.1 Spectrum Headphone Set - Highland innovations - 3 Channel Wireless Detector Program - Bob Baileys 'Basic 1' Anyone that knows Bob Baileys 'Basic 1' program, will also know all about the different sounds it gives as well, this is the main reason I chose this program. For those that do not know about this program and the XLT, then it can be compared with the Explorer I & II, it has the sounds of a 'Clanger' (childrens program) in serious pain, if you don't know what a 'Clanger' is, ask mum and dad..... Anyway, it was a fine sunny day and I walked down to the furthest away field, didn't want to be disturbed, and plugged the Wireless Transmitter into the XLT; this must be done without any box cover on, as the brass eyelet prevents the transmitter unit from being fully inserted . Checked that the Headphones Volume control was down low, then switched the Transmitter on, then the Headphones. Tuning them into the Transmitter was extremely simple to do, and I am pleased to say that there was NO background hisses, hums or crackles. This was especially good, as I was underneath Electric Pylon Cables which go the whole length of this field. The only thing that was effected by these, was the XLT, there was no interference to the Wireless Units. Switched the XLT on, and in the time it took the Program to sound the usual start up Ding Dong, I had the Volume set at a good level. The first thing I noticed was a difference in the overall sound, it appeared to be slightly muffled, so was nicely surprised when I tested it over a coin I bought with me, and the Good, Solid Beep sounded out, next a piece of Iron, very good Phut! noise which seemed to be filtered, which was very pleasant. So far, it appeared that this Wireless setup was going to be very good. Set off detecting, and straight away I noticed the difference, all those usual blips,phuts,whistles and general 'clanger' noises were being muffled, which was very nice indeed, then suddenly a resounding Solid BLEEP!, can't be mistaken, anybody with an XLT will know what I am talking about, Switched to Pinpoint, and found this sound was also clear & solid, got the location and recovered a very good conditioned 1920 George Silver 3d, from around 4 inches.........a little further along and again the unmistakeable solid BLEEP!, this time a new 5p, only about 1" down........next item was Bronze, again the Clear Solid Bleep!, this time around 6" deep, as yet this find has not been fully identified, but suggestions are leaning towards a Griffin's Head, possible the end of a knife handle, I will let you know what it turns out to be. I continued to detect for the rest of the morning and found the usual suspects, buttons, shotgun cartridges, lumps of lead and the odd rusty nail...lol..Altogether a good days detecting, and a good test for this Wireless System, which passed with flying colours. I found the Wireless Headphones, to be Comfortable, Light and easy to operate, and they did their job brilliantly. The Transmitter unit is a nice size and has no weight to it at all, plugged into the XLT, I didn't even know it was there. A few of things I liked with this unit was the Off/On switch, a good easily operated toggle type, as is the Channel Selector switch, the Red LCD Power Light, and the fact that it is an easy to plug in Rechargeable Unit. Overall Transmitter Design = 10/10 Overall Headphone Design = 9/10 Overall Ease of Use = 10/10 Overall Performance = 10/10 I would recommend this Wireless System to anybody. It is such a relief not having my ears yanked off everytime I have to put the detector down to dig for something, the freedom is something else, I could not go back to wired headphones again. Many thanks for all the help and support. Best Regards

Cliff

PS. Looking forward to the information on the other units?

I shall definitely recommend them to my fellow club members. It's a
great piece of kit,and I'm impressed '.

Dear Sirs,
Yesterday was a dreadful day.Through circumstances beyond my control I had
to use corded headphones. What a disaster,my head was constantly being
tugged by the cord,I couldn't dig properly and it didn't feel right.I think
your product really does make detecting a pleasure.Thankyou again.

Report from happy user:

‘ I am so pleased with my purchase of cordless headphones that I am ordering a kit for my son. I can only compare the freedom you get with cordless headphones as with the use of a cordless phone and we all know how convenient they are… Thanks again for such a great product I will promote it at our meetings and rallys ‘ .

Hi David, First of all apologies for the rather late e-mail, I've had other commitments that have prevented me from metal detecting. I received my cordless phones in excellent order and used them with two machines, a MINELAB MUSKETEER and a MINELAB QUATTRO. On the MUSKETEER the signal was very good well modulated and the freedom from the cord was a great advantage. On the QAUTTRO the signal was quieter either the different impedance was the cause or the QUATTRO has a lower output. In any case the signal was perfectly audible and again the freedom from the cord was a great advantage. In short David I liked using the cordless phones and I am sure they will help improve my detecting without that bloody cord getting in the way. My most valuable find of the day was a rather discoloured Pound coin. The rest other finds were the usual mixture of ring pulls, screw caps and assorted bits of foil. By getting rid of this rubbish I hope I'm doing my bit for the environment. This is an excellent product David I am very pleased with my cordless headphones.
