XP DEUS II Metal Detector Bundle with 11 in (28 cm) FMF Search Coil, RC Remote and WSA ST Wireless Stereo Headphones

A flagship detector should not come with an audio afterthought, or an audio tax. Plenty of hunters want the XP DEUS II with real wireless headphones but not over-ear cans in July heat, and not last-generation WSA II headphones quietly rebranded as a deal. This XP-sanctioned pairing solves it cleanly: the DEUS II remote control package with the 11 in (28 cm) FMF search coil, plus the WSA ST, XP's 72 g (2.5 oz) current-generation stereo headphones, bundled by History Seekers from two factory-new XP products. It is the lightest-on-your-head way into an XP Deus 2 bundle built entirely from today's line.

At a glance

XP DEUS II remote control, 11 in (28 cm) round FMF search coil, S-Telescopic stem and the WSA ST wireless stereo headphones. Fast Multi Frequency with 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz, 12 factory programs. Remote and search coil IP68 waterproof to 20 m (66 ft); the WSA ST is rainproof, not for submersion. Weight, from XP's published component figures: 11 in coil 470 g (16.6 oz) plus S-Telescopic stem 370 g (13.1 oz) = 840 g (1.85 lb) in hand with the remote worn on the hip, or 990 g (2.18 lb) with the 150 g (5.3 oz) remote clipped to the stem; the WSA ST adds 72 g (2.5 oz) on your head. XP publishes no assembled total for the RC package; its "from 750 g" figure describes the WS6 Master configuration with the 9 in coil, not this one. Current DEUS II software: V4.1. Made in France. History Seekers Metal Detectors is an authorized XP dealer; every XP DEUS II 11 in WSA ST bundle we sell is new, sourced through XP's authorized US distributor, and carries the full 5-year XP warranty.

Why this bundle and not one of the other five

Across the six DEUS II RC and ST-headphone configurations we offer, this is the value all-rounder. The 11 in (28 cm) coil is the platform's benchmark size: balanced depth, coverage and control for fields, parks, homesites and beaches, and the size dealer FAQs call the best all-around choice. The WSA ST side of the bundle is a deliberate choice, not a downgrade: at 72 g (2.5 oz) you stop noticing them by the second hour, they run about 15 hours, recharge over USB-C in about 2 hours, and they carry the same zero-latency XP link and Multi-Process support as their over-ear sibling, with a storage case in the box. If you hunt windy beaches or want maximum isolation, step to the 11 in bundle with the over-ear WSA XL ST. If your ground is tight and iron-choked, our 9 in (22.5 cm) WSA ST bundle trades coverage for separation, and open-acreage hunters should see the 13x11 in (34x28 cm) WSA ST bundle. A quiet bonus: the WSA ST also pairs with XP's ICON and ICON X remotes, so it stays useful if a second XP machine ever joins the family.

WSA ST, WSA XL ST or WS6 ST: the headphone decision, answered

All three are XP's current ST stereo headphones and all three run Multi-Process; the difference is weight, isolation and redundancy. The WSA ST (this bundle) is the lightest at 72 g (2.5 oz), foldable and rainproof, with no screen, because the remote in your hand already has one. The WSA XL ST is the full-size over-ear version at 250 g (8.8 oz) with more isolation from wind and traffic and an IP68 rating to 1 m (3.3 ft). The WS6 ST adds a graphic screen and its own controls at 82 g (2.9 oz), so it can run the detector as a backup controller if the remote ever fails mid-hunt. Pick the WSA ST for weight and value, the WSA XL ST for comfort and isolation, the WS6 ST for redundancy. Other dealers list these as lines in a 21-package grid; the table below gives each configuration its own page.

The DEUS II bundle ladder

History Seekers offers the DEUS II RC package in three coil sizes and with each of XP's three current ST headphones. Pick the coil for your ground, then the headphone for your head. Every bundle below is two factory-new XP products in one cart, each with its own 5-year XP warranty.

Already own XP audio? The 11 in RC-only package comes without headphones. Hunting small gold or iron-masked colonial sites at high frequency? The DEUS II Gold swaps the FMF coil for the HF2 elliptical coil, which reaches 9 to 120 kHz.

Multi-Process: two detectors in your ears

The WSA ST is ST-generation, which matters more than the name suggests: since software V4.0 the DEUS II can run Multi-Process, two simultaneous audio channels, one listening slow and deep, one snapping fast at small targets beside iron, with Audio Morphing, Chorus FX and presets including DUAL AXIS, which pairs a classic motion channel with a non-motion channel so you can size a target before you dig. The discontinued non-ST WS6 and WSA II headphones never get this. It is the clearest reason the current generation is worth insisting on, and the current software, V4.1, refines it further.

Specifications and what they mean in the field

Waterproof, stated honestly

The detector, coil and remote control alike, is IP68 rated to 20 m (66 ft), with an optional antenna required when the coil is fully submerged. The WSA ST headphones are rainproof, not submersible: hunt through drizzle and splash, but do not dunk them. For diving, XP's answer is the wired BH-01 bone conduction headphones, rated with the detector to 20 m (66 ft). We would rather say so here than let the surf teach you.

Who it is for

Hunters in hot, humid country where over-ear cans become saunas, hikers and travelers who count every ounce in the pack, and first-time DEUS II buyers who want the full wireless experience from the current generation at the friendliest price of the six configurations. Honest limits: the 11 in coil gives up some separation in dense iron to the 9 in and some coverage on open ground to the 13x11 in, so look one rung up or down the ladder if your sites are extreme either way. The WSA ST has no screen and is rainproof, not waterproof; a headset that can run the detector by itself is the WS6 ST. Serious gold prospectors should step to the DEUS II Gold package, whose HF2 elliptical search coil runs 9 to 120 kHz. And DEUS I accessories do not cross over: X35 and HF coils, WS4 and WS5 headphones and ORX parts are DEUS I products and never fit the DEUS II; the DEUS II takes FMF coils (9 in, 11 in, 13x11 in) and the HF2 elliptical only. XP's ICON coil is ICON-only, although it works the other way: the DEUS II FMF coils and the ST headphones also fit the ICON and ICON X.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which coil is the best all-around choice: 9 in, 11 in or 13x11 in?

The 11 in (28 cm) coil in this bundle. It balances depth, coverage and separation for parks, fields, homesites and beaches, which is why it is XP's benchmark size and the one most DEUS II hunters start with. The 9 in (22.5 cm) separates targets best in dense iron and tight spots and weighs 345 g (12.2 oz) against the 11 in coil's 470 g (16.6 oz); the 13x11 in (34x28 cm) covers the most ground per pass on open fields and wet sand at 570 g (20.1 oz). The remote, stem and electronics are identical across the three, and coils can be added later, so start with the size that matches the sites you hunt most.

What is the difference between the WSA ST, WSA XL ST and WS6 ST headphones?

All three are XP's current ST stereo headphones and all three run Multi-Process. The WSA ST (this bundle) is the lightest at 72 g (2.5 oz), foldable and rainproof, with no screen. The WSA XL ST is the full-size over-ear version at 250 g (8.8 oz) with more isolation from wind and background noise and an IP68 rating to 1 m (3.3 ft). The WS6 ST adds a graphic screen and its own controls at 82 g (2.9 oz), so it can run the detector as a backup controller if the remote fails. Pick the WSA ST for weight and value, the WSA XL ST for comfort and isolation, the WS6 ST for redundancy.

Is Multi-Process included with this configuration?

Yes. Multi-Process, XP's two-channel audio processing introduced in software V4.0, one channel listening deep and slow, one fast beside iron, with the DUAL AXIS preset and Audio Morphing, requires an ST stereo headset, and the WSA ST qualifies. The discontinued non-ST WS6 and WSA II headphones cannot run it, and XP warns that V4.0 should never be installed with a non-ST headset. Keep the remote and the headphones on the same software version; the current version is V4.1 and updates are free over USB.

How waterproof is this bundle really?

The detector is the real deal: coil and remote control are both IP68 rated to 20 m (66 ft), with an optional antenna required when the coil is submerged. The WSA ST headphones are rainproof, not submersible, so keep them above the waterline. For diving, XP's wired BH-01 bone conduction headphones are rated to the full 20 m (66 ft).

Will my DEUS I coils or headphones work with this DEUS II?

No. X35 and HF coils, WS4 and WS5 headphones and ORX parts are DEUS I products and do not pair with the DEUS II. The DEUS II uses FMF coils in 9 in (22.5 cm), 11 in (28 cm) and 13x11 in (34x28 cm), plus the HF2 elliptical coil, and the current ST headphones. XP's ICON coil is for the ICON and ICON X only, although it works the other way: the DEUS II FMF coils and ST headphones do also fit the ICON and ICON X.

Can the XP DEUS II find gold?

Rings and jewelry, absolutely; that is true of any capable machine. Natural gold is where detectors separate, and the DEUS II carries GOLD FIELD, factory program 8, reaching 40 kHz, made for mineralized gold ground with IAR ferrous rejection. If nuggets are your actual goal, XP's purpose-built answer is the DEUS II Gold package, which moves the platform to a 9 to 120 kHz HF2 elliptical search coil, and that HF2 coil can be added to this remote later. That is where XP's gold ladder tops out, and we would rather point you there than oversell this one.

Is this a factory package, and who is selling it?

It is bundled by History Seekers from two factory-new XP products: the DEUS2-28FMFRCEA detector package and the WSAST headphones, each new in its own box, in a configuration XP's US distributor sanctions. History Seekers Metal Detectors is an authorized XP dealer; every XP DEUS II 11 in WSA ST bundle we sell is new, sourced through XP's authorized US distributor, and carries the full 5-year XP warranty. If you find this configuration advertised for less by another authorized dealer, contact us with the competitor's current listing so we can verify it.

What software version does the DEUS II run, and how do I update it?

The current DEUS II software is V4.1 (XP's update page, checked October 2026). Updates install over USB through XP's online updater, and the remote and the headphones must be on the same version or the headphones will not connect. V4.1 brought the Multi-Process refinements, MI-6 pinpointer audio options and improved wireless reliability.
