Description
Water hunting with The Legend 2 puts you in surf, current, and boat traffic - and traditional headphones take your ears out of the fight. The Nokta Bone Conduction Headphones send target tones through your cheekbones instead of sealing your ear canals, so you hear every ID tone from your Legend 2 while your ears stay open to waves, voices, and everything else you need to stay aware of in the water. It is the only open-ear option in Nokta's headphone lineup.
At a glance
The Nokta Bone Conduction Headphones (part 17000576) are open-ear metal detector headphones made for the Nokta Legend 2. Bone conduction transducers rest on the cheekbones and leave the ear canal open. Nokta lists The Legend 2, submersible to 5 m (16 ft), as the compatible detector. Corded connection, lightweight wrap-around frame.
Why this one: bone conduction, and why only on the Legend 2
Nokta added bone conduction support with The Legend 2: the company's own comparison chart marks bonephone compatibility as unavailable on the original Legend and available on the Legend 2. So this is a Legend 2 accessory, full stop - if a listing tells you otherwise, it is guessing. If you swing the original Legend, use the BT Low Latency Headphones; if you want sealed cups underwater on either machine, the Nokta Waterproof Headphones cover nine Nokta models. What the open-ear design buys you over both: situational awareness. Surf hunters and river waders give up hearing their surroundings with sealed cups; bone conduction keeps both channels open at once, the machine in your bones and the world in your ears.

One honest note you will not find on most listings: Nokta has not published a standalone depth rating for the headphones themselves. The Legend 2 they connect to is rated to 5 m (16 ft). If your hunting leans hard into full submersion and you want the long-proven wired route, the Waterproof Headphones are the conservative pick.
