It is the first bone conduction headphone designed for metal detecting: it rests on your cheekbones and, in XP's words, \"transmits sound to the inner ear directly through vibrations applied to the bones, without straining the eardrums. Your ears are therefore free.\" Free to stay dry. Free to wear proper dive earplugs. Free to hear a DEUS II target cleanly in churned, noisy water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XP BH-01 is a wired bone conduction headphone made only for the XP DEUS II. IP68 certified and waterproof to 66 ft (20 m), it transmits target audio through the cheekbones so ears stay free for dive earplugs, and it keeps working in disturbed or noisy water. Made in France. 2 year XP warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this is the DEUS II diving answer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery diving detectorist knows the trade: seal the ears and lose awareness, or flood them and lose clarity. Bone conduction ends the trade. Because the BH-01 bypasses the ear canal, water in your ears stops mattering, and XP notes it performs in \"disturbed or noisy water\" where speaker audio struggles. It connects to the DEUS II by wire, which underwater is a feature, not a compromise: no radio link to lose at depth. It is designed for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/xp-deus-ii-metal-detector-9-inch-fmf-coil-rc-remote\"\u003eDEUS II\u003c\/a\u003e only - it is not a general-purpose headphone, and it does not fit other brands or older XP machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe angle nobody talks about: hearing-impaired detectorists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBone conduction is not only a dive trick. XP points out that the BH-01 \"allows the hearing impaired to feel the vibrations generated by the targets towards the cochlea,\" with the adjustable low bands around 100 to 300 Hz being the useful range for some hearing conditions. If conventional detector audio has become hard to use, this is a genuinely different path to the signal, on land or in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specs and what they do in the field\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIP68 certified, waterproof to 66 ft (20 m)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatches the DEUS II remote's diving depth - a true underwater audio system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBone conduction on the cheekbones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEars stay open and dry; audio quality does not depend on keeping water out of the ear canal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWired connection to the DEUS II\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNothing to pair and nothing to drop out at depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorks in disturbed, noisy water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurf wash and murky rivers do not drown the target tone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in France by XP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurpose-built for detecting, not an adapted consumer product\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDive safety, straight from XP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause your ears stay free, you can and should protect them properly: \"When diving use only dedicated earplugs that allow pressure balancing, never use standard earplugs as they may damage the ear when diving.\" Standard foam plugs cannot equalize pressure; dive-rated vented plugs can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXP BH-01 bone conduction headphones (wired, for DEUS II)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 year XP warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot diving?
