Description
A Teknetics detector talks in tones, and a speaker in the open air wastes half of what it says. The T2's multi-tone target ID, the G2+'s FeTone iron audio, V-Break on the EuroTek Pro: all of it lives in small pitch changes that wind and distance smear. These are the stereo headphones First Texas packages for its Teknetics line, and they put those tones directly on your ears while the muted speaker stretches your battery life.
At a glance
The Teknetics Stereo Headphones (part HEADT, brown box) are lightweight adjustable wired headphones with true stereo sound, a volume knob on each ear cup, a stereo/mono selector switch, a 4 ft (1.2 m) cable, and a 1/4 in (6.35 mm) plug with a 1/8 in (3.5 mm) adaptor. They fit any Teknetics detector with a headphone jack.
Why this set for a Teknetics machine
Because it is the one Teknetics puts its own name on, at the lowest price we are allowed to advertise. Most dealers sell this part around ten dollars higher and describe it in one recycled sentence; the concrete details, separate left and right volume controls, the soft padded ear cups, the plug-plus-adaptor sizing, mostly go unmentioned, and the stereo/mono switch visible in the manufacturer's own product photos goes unmentioned everywhere. Independent volume knobs matter on a machine like the T2 Classic: set your strong-side ear lower and faint deep-target tones still register on the other side. The switch matters the day you plug into single-channel audio and want it in both ears. Nobody else tells you either fact; we just did.
Technical specs and what they do in the field
| 1/4 in (6.35 mm) plug + 1/8 in (3.5 mm) adaptor | Covers the standard Teknetics 1/4 in (6.35 mm) jack, and the adaptor handles small-jack devices |
| True stereo, volume knob on each ear cup | Balance left and right to your ears without touching the detector's volume |
| Stereo/mono selector switch | Puts mono detector audio in both ears instead of one |
| 4 ft (1.2 m) coiled cable | Reaches the jack cleanly and stretches when you kneel on a target |
| Swivel ear cups, padded cups and headband | Adjusts to fit, folds flat in the pouch, comfortable through a full permission hunt |
| Speaker mutes when plugged in | Longer battery life and no broadcast beeping, straight from the First Texas manuals |
