Description
Swinging a detector with no headphones costs you targets on every hunt - and fixing that costs less than a tank of gas. Wind, traffic, and playground noise eat the faint high tones that mark small silver and deep coins. The Garrett TreasureSound is the cheapest cure in the Garrett line: a light stereo headphone with an in-line volume control and soft foam ear muffs that put the detector's audio where it belongs, against your ears instead of into the breeze.
At a glance
The Garrett TreasureSound Headphones (PN 1612500) are wired stereo headphones with a 1/4 in headphone jack, in-line volume control, comfortable foam ear muffs, and a headband that adjusts to fit most head sizes. Land use. Fits any metal detector with a 1/4 in jack, including the Garrett ACE series.
Why the TreasureSound - and who should buy up instead
This is the right first headphone, the right backup pair for the truck, and the right set for the kid you are dragging into the hobby - light enough that small heads keep them on, cheap enough that a dropped pair is not a tragedy. Competitor listings at this tier are contents lists with a price; the honest guidance they skip is this: if you hunt more than a couple of times a month, spend four more dollars on the fold-flat ClearSound, or step to the full-size MS-2 for real wind isolation. The TreasureSound's job is getting audio on your ears for the least money that still says Garrett on the cup - and it does that job.
