Description
Wireless headphones tap out at the water line - when the hunt goes under, you need a hardwired link that cannot drop, lag, or run out of battery. The Nokta Waterproof Headphones are that link: wired over-ear cups on a coiled cable with a threaded screw-down connector, listed by Nokta for nine of its detectors, from The Legend 2 and the full Score series to the Simplex ULTRA, Simplex LITE, FINDX PRO, and Gold Kruzer. No pairing, no charging, no interference - the tone you hear is the tone the machine made, exactly when it made it.
At a glance
The Nokta Waterproof Headphones (part 17000218, listed in Nokta's price guide as the Underwater Headphones Pro) are wired over-ear metal detector headphones with a coiled cable and threaded connector. Nokta lists nine compatible detectors: The Legend 2, The Legend, Score, Double Score, Triple Score, Simplex ULTRA, Simplex LITE, FINDX PRO, and Gold Kruzer.
Why the Waterproof Headphones over the wireless options
Nokta's wireless headphones are surface tools: the BT Low Latency Headphones are not waterproof by Nokta's own manual, and the 2.4GHz Green Edition serves a different set of machines on dry land. This is the pair Nokta lists across its whole current waterproof-detector range - one set of cups that follows you from a Simplex LITE to a Legend 2 to a Gold Kruzer. Most dealer pages still carry stale compatibility lists built around retired models; Nokta's current list is the nine machines above, and it includes the Legend 2 and FINDX PRO that many listings miss. The sealed-cup design also works as plain old field isolation: surf, wind, and crowd noise stay out, faint deep tones stay in.
Feature and benefit table
| Hardwired connection | Zero latency, zero dropouts, zero batteries; the audio path cannot fail mid-hunt |
| Threaded screw-down connector | Locks to the detector's headphone port so the joint does not pull open in water or brush |
| Over-ear cups with padded cushions | Isolates wave and wind noise; faint, deep targets stay audible in loud environments |
| Coiled cable | Stays short on the swing, stretches for the dig, does not loop around your gear |
| Adjustable wrapped headband | Holds position under a hood or hat through a full day of hunting |
| Nine-model Nokta compatibility | One headphone across Legend, Score, Simplex, FINDX PRO, and Gold Kruzer lines |
Straight answer on depth: Nokta does not publish a standalone depth rating for the headphones. The detectors they serve are Nokta's submersible line - The Legend 2, for example, is rated to 5 m (16 ft). We list what the manufacturer states and nothing more.
