The Minelab WM 08 Wireless Audio Module cuts that delay to 17 milliseconds over Minelab's Wi-Stream link, which is why it remains the fastest wireless audio an Equinox 600 or 800 can run, and it works with any wired 3.5 mm (1\/8 in) headphones you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/em\u003e The Minelab WM 08 Wireless Audio Module (part 3011-0371) receives Wi-Stream wireless audio from the Equinox 600 and Equinox 800 with a 17 ms delay, far faster than Bluetooth. Clip it on, plug in any wired 3.5 mm (1\/8 in) headphones, and detect cable-free. Includes the magnetic USB charging cable. Not compatible with Equinox 700\/900.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy pay for a module when the Equinox already has Bluetooth?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause latency is the spec that matters, and Minelab publishes the numbers in the Equinox manual: standard Bluetooth runs about 100 ms behind the coil, aptX Low Latency headphones such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/minelab-ml80-bluetooth-headphones\"\u003eML 80\u003c\/a\u003e cut that to about 40 ms, and the WM 08's Wi-Stream link runs at 17 ms, a delay Minelab describes as not perceivable. Minelab's own advice: for the fastest possible wireless audio, use the WM 08. It has no speaker of its own; it feeds whatever headphones you plug into it, including full-size 6.35 mm (1\/4 in) sets through the 1\/8 in to 1\/4 in adaptor cable (part 3011-0369) and the threaded \u003ca href=\"\/products\/minelab-waterproof-headphones-equinox-x-terra-manticore\"\u003eMinelab waterproof headphones\u003c\/a\u003e connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho actually needs one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest note before you buy: the \u003cstrong\u003eEquinox 800 shipped with a WM 08 in the box\u003c\/strong\u003e; the Equinox 600 did not.
