Description
Wireless freedom on a detector only works if the beep arrives while your search coil is still over the target - and that is exactly what the Nokta BT Low Latency Headphones are built for. Standard Bluetooth audio lags behind the sweep. These run Qualcomm aptX Low Latency, which Nokta states delivers faster, better quality audio and more precise, faster target responses on your machine. One pair covers the whole modern Nokta lineup, from The Legend and Legend 2 to the full Score series, the Simplex ULTRA, and even the AccuPOINT pinpointer.
At a glance
The Nokta BT Low Latency Headphones are over-ear wireless metal detector headphones with Bluetooth 5.0 and Qualcomm aptX Low Latency. Nokta lists compatibility with The Legend 2, The Legend, Score, Double Score, Triple Score, Simplex ULTRA, and the AccuPOINT pinpointer. Rechargeable 1200 mAh battery, 10 m (33 ft) range, wired 3.5 mm (1/8 in) input, adjustable headband.
Why the BT Low Latency over its siblings
This is the one wireless headphone Nokta lists for its current Bluetooth generation of detectors. If you swing a Legend, Legend 2, any Score, or a Simplex ULTRA, this is your wireless match - the 2.4GHz Green Edition serves a different, older group of machines (Kruzer, Anfibio, Simplex+, Impact and others) and is not listed for the Legend or Score series. Most dealer listings still describe these as a Legend-only accessory; Nokta's own compatibility list is seven machines deep, and it includes the AccuPOINT pinpointer, so your pinpointer tones can land in the same ears as your detector tones. For hunts that end underwater, step to the Waterproof Headphones instead; for the open-ear option on the Legend 2, see the Bone Conduction Headphones.
Technical specs and what they do in the field

Frequently asked questions
Which Nokta detectors work with the BT Low Latency Headphones?
Nokta lists The Legend 2, The Legend, Score, Double Score (Score 2), Triple Score (Score 3), Simplex ULTRA, and the AccuPOINT pinpointer as compatible. The 2.4GHz Green Edition headphones serve a different group (Kruzer, Anfibio, Simplex+, Impact and other legacy machines).
Are the Nokta BT Low Latency Headphones waterproof?
No. Nokta's user guide states they are not waterproof. For underwater or heavy-rain hunting, use the wired Nokta Waterproof Headphones, which Nokta lists for nine of its detectors.
How do the headphones pair with a Nokta detector?
Power the headphones on and they enter pairing mode broadcasting as NOKTA-MAKRO. Turn on Bluetooth on the detector and they pair automatically, then reconnect on their own at each later power-up. They also pair with phones for calls and music.
What is the battery life and how do they charge?
They use a built-in 1200 mAh 3.7 V rechargeable lithium polymer battery charged over USB from any quality USB charger. The LED shows solid red while charging and turns off when charging is complete. The battery is not user-replaceable.
