I found that with both the 900 and manticore I have. That no matter what patch lead I plugged into the machine (3.5mm jack) would not disconnect the detector speaker and work with the August transmitter. I was informed that was due to the detector needing to see a resistance when headphone socket was used to switch over to headphones. So after looking into this I added a couple of resistors into the patch lead. This then worked.
Hello Dave Could you explain to me what you did to the patch lead because I have the same trouble with my nox 900 and the August 650b headphones, when I plug in the bluetooth transmitter to the 900 that is fine they see each other same with the 650b and transmitter but when I've linked the 900 and transmitter then plug in the 650b I can hear in the headphones a beating sound with the 900 and the 900 is still putting sound out of the speaker, I presume the beating ? sound is the 900 bluetooth (light flashing) still looking for something, Don't know what you mean by this: added a couple of resistors into the patch lead
This is awesome, thank you. I just contacted Minelab "Service" Americas for my WM 08 module that has failed and needs a battery. "It's not covered by warranty and we don't service them". $450 Canadian for a replacement WM 80?!! ... I like your solution better! You got another subscriber and maybe the Manticore that was in my future turned into a Deus! Cheers
Don’t skimp on the headphones and don’t skimp on the modules. You can buy them from China for just a few dollars but you’ll be sorry because of the latency. you’ll spend most of your time looking for targets that are, like Sid said, a foot to either side. I helped a guy that thought his coil was no good and I convinced him it was the module and for sure it was. He was ready to send his machine back.
Do I understand correctly that the BT transmitter box comes with those headphones and are pre-paired? If that isn't the case, how would you select your headphones on the BT box to choose to pair with that specific pair?
Bought the MR230B and the MR250B and neither connect properly speaker still sounds and nox still cannot find the August 650b headphones, bluetooth keeps flashing on the nox 900 never had this trouble with the nox 800 and these August 650b headphones
Yes these will work a treat… if i remember right the explorer has a larger headphone jack so you will just need to get a extra lead large to small jack lead they cost about £4
I have a 900 and nokta accupoint pin pointer which is Bluetooth. Anything out there that enables me to link detector and pinpoint through the headphones??
I’ve been using Bluetooth earbuds on my 600 sense I’ve owned it. As long as they are low latency and aptx they will connect. Now idk about the new machines. But the 800 and 600 would connect without any lag.
Yeah the 600 and 900 are bluetooth, these will connect awesome without the transmitter, but the 900 and manticore are wireless so the transmitter is needed… this setup will work on any machine that has a headphone jack
Turn nox on… then turn off the bluetooth on nox(top right button) then long press top right button on nox untill you see it searching for headphones…. Then long press the headphones large button until see the blue and red light flashing (searching for bluetooth device) then they will connect

Great video Sid, it's a common problem for a lot of people, breaking it down and making it easy for peeps 👍

Nice one Sid. That'll be a good set up for my old (but golden) whites xlt spectrum......cheers pal. Keep safe......
I’m on it Sid ….cheers for the advice earlier mate 👍👍👍
My pleasure buddy
If you use the August MR230B receiver, you can use any 3rd party headphones that you wish.
Do I understand correctly that the BT transmitter box comes with those headphones and are pre-paired? If that isn't the case, how would you select your headphones on the BT box to choose to pair with that specific pair?
@@JustifyJustin they are paired by holding the connection button on both devices
Thank you for the info on the August app!
Bought the MR230B and the MR250B and neither connect properly speaker still sounds and nox still cannot find the August 650b headphones, bluetooth keeps flashing on the nox 900 never had this trouble with the nox 800 and these August 650b headphones
@kenmordle333 the 900 is no bluetooth its wireless so you need to plug in a plug in a transmitter via mina jack in audio socket
Mini jack ^^
Any recomendation on ear buds with this set-up please im struggling to find some that work. I cannot use headphones when it gets hot
Gotta ask because I know zero about electronics. My Koss headphones have gone kaput, I wondered if this gadget would work on my Minelab explorer 2?
Yes these will work a treat… if i remember right the explorer has a larger headphone jack so you will just need to get a extra lead large to small jack lead they cost about £4
I have a 900 and nokta accupoint pin pointer which is Bluetooth. Anything out there that enables me to link detector and pinpoint through the headphones??
Just ordered the August mr230b and headphones these will work with my Deus I take it fingers crossed 🤞

You would think they would make it where you wouldn’t need the transmitter and make it completely Bluetooth wireless like the older machines are.
@@JusDirtfishin they have but wireless so cant use your choice of headphones like you could with bluetooth, bit of a kick in the knachers
I agree. You pay that much for a machine. You would think you would be able too
I had a pair delivered today and I'm struggling to get the paired to my nox 800
Turn nox on… then turn off the bluetooth on nox(top right button) then long press top right button on nox untill you see it searching for headphones…. Then long press the headphones large button until see the blue and red light flashing (searching for bluetooth device) then they will connect
@@englandshistory cheers Sid I'll try again. The Mrs wasn't happy earlier as the nox kept connecting to the TV 🤣
I notice you are using the 900 more often now is it that much better than the desus or is it just preference thanks
It just seems to be finding me the goodies, ill use any machine from any brand, all I’m interested in is Whats finding
Hi I would like to put this on my sovereign Gt, would it be possible
Thanks
Yes, I think the gt has the larger headphone jack so all your need extra is the mini jack adapter
Thanks buddy
Love the headphones but my issue is pin pin pointing as you have to remove the headphones to hear the the pin pointer
You will still hear pointer if you have the pointers volume up
There is no volume control on a minelab pin pointer or can you recommend a loud pin pointer?
@@daleparmenter9554 garrett carrot or mi-6
Are you using an August transmitter or something else ? Thanks David
Deus 2 well out the pic now the new king is out 😂
Can you use earbuds with this transmitter
Only bluetooth ones unless you get a receiver as well as
Nice bit of information sid 👍👍
Could you use just low latency aptx ear buds and connect
Yes you can
Yeah the transmitter will connect to Bluetooth headphones just make sure you use low latency ones
@@englandshistory non related Sid but I don't use Facebook is there a way of finding about dates for England's history digs cheers
Interesting stuff Sid, top man.
Would these work on the dues 1
On any detector that has a headphone jack 👍🏼👍🏼🤟🤟🤟
The only problem doing this is the detector is not fully waterproof with the headphone jack unscrewed..
All right Sid have you got a Facebook page with metal detecting, many thanks Alan
Detecting anonymous is my group mate, i made it years ago and will be changing the name soon to englands history
@@englandshistory Thanks for getting back to me mate.👍🏻
