Description
The Fisher Stereo Deluxe is the headphone Fisher's own manuals list at the top of the accessory page, and the reason is simple: faint, deep targets die in a detector speaker. Wind, traffic, and surf eat the soft high tone that separates a deep coin from ground noise. Full ear cups and a wired 1/4 in (6.35 mm) stereo connection put that whisper directly on your ears, and running the speaker off also stretches your detector's battery life.
At a glance
The Fisher Stereo Deluxe Headphones (part 9720971000) are Fisher's full-size wired headphones for metal detecting. Single adjustable volume control, aluminum cones, coiled cord, padded headband, and a 1/4 in (6.35 mm) stereo plug that fits every current Fisher detector with a headphone jack. Fisher lists them for use with all Fisher metal detectors.
Why the Deluxe over the standard Fisher stereo headphones
Fisher sells two wired headphones and most dealers never explain the difference. The standard Fisher Stereo Headphones are the light 4 ft (1.2 m) cable set with a 1/8 in (3.5 mm) adaptor, a strong first upgrade at a starter price. The Deluxe is the heavier field set: larger over-ear muff cups that block more ambient noise, aluminum speaker cones, and one single volume control per Fisher's manual, which means one knob to find with a gloved hand instead of two to balance. If you swing an F75 for six hours in relic country or chase sub-gram gold with a Gold Bug 2, the Deluxe is the pair built for that day. Several dealers sell this exact part at the manufacturer's own store price, well above ours, and describe it with "individual knob controls"; Fisher's manual says single volume control, and the manual is what we print.
