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

The detector decision was the easy part. Then you priced the headphones. Most buyers pick the XP DEUS II, then discover that the wireless audio that makes it sing is sold separately, and that half the bundles still floating around the market pair it with XP's discontinued WSA II line. This is the current answer: the XP DEUS II RC package with the 11 in (28 cm) FMF search coil and the XP WSA XL ST over-ear wireless stereo headphones, bundled by History Seekers from two factory-new XP products. The WSA XL ST is the ST generation that actually runs Multi-Process, and it is the one of XP's three ST headsets built for the hunter who wants wind, surf and traffic shut out so a faint, deep whisper still reads as a signal. If you searched for an XP Deus 2 bundle done right, this is that configuration.

At a glance

XP DEUS II remote control, 11 in (28 cm) round FMF search coil, S-Telescopic stem and the WSA XL ST over-ear wireless stereo headphones: an XP-sanctioned dealer bundle (DEUS2-28FMFRC+WSAXLST), bundled by History Seekers from two factory-new XP products. 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 XL ST is rated IP68 to 1 m (3.3 ft), for rain and surf spray, not for diving. 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 XL ST adds 250 g (8.8 oz) on your head. XP publishes no assembled total for the RC package; its "from 750 g" figure describes the WS6 Master configuration, not this one. Current DEUS II software: V4.1. Full 5-year XP warranty on each product. History Seekers Metal Detectors is an authorized XP dealer; every XP DEUS II 11 in WSA XL 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

History Seekers carries the DEUS II RC package in all six WSA bundles, three coils by two headphones, plus the three WS6 ST packages, and this is the one most hunters should take. The 11 in (28 cm) coil is the platform's benchmark: enough depth and sweep width for fields, parks and beaches, still quick enough to work old homesites. Tight, iron-littered ground favors the 9 in (22.5 cm) version; wide-open acreage favors the 13x11 in (34x28 cm) version. On the audio side, the WSA XL ST is the over-ear pick: 250 g (8.8 oz) of wind-blocking isolation with PWM and SQUARE audio types, rated IP68 to 1 m (3.3 ft). Other dealers describe this exact configuration in one line as "full-size headphones with more isolation" and leave it there. The reason isolation matters on a DEUS II is specific: Multi-Process puts a quiet, deep-target channel in one ear and a fast separation channel in the other, and the deep channel is the one a sea breeze or a mower two lots over erases first. Full cups keep it. Prefer barely-there weight over isolation? The same coil ships in our 11 in bundle with the 72 g (2.5 oz) WSA ST. And unlike the stale bundles many dealers still merchandise, every component here is XP's current ST generation, not the discontinued WSA II.

WSA XL ST, WSA ST or WS6 ST: the straight answer

All three are XP's current ST stereo headphones, all three run Multi-Process, all three carry XP's 5-year warranty, and all three pair with the DEUS II remote. They differ in three ways. Weight: the WSA ST is 72 g (2.5 oz), the WS6 ST 82 g (2.9 oz), the WSA XL ST 250 g (8.8 oz). Ear coverage and weather: the WSA ST and WS6 ST are compact on-ear backphones rated rainproof; the WSA XL ST is the only full over-ear cup in the line and the only one XP rates IP68 to 1 m (3.3 ft). Control: the WS6 ST carries a graphic screen and its own keys, so it can run the detector by itself as a backup controller if the remote ever fails mid-hunt; the WSA ST and WSA XL ST have volume keys only and leave control to the remote in your hand. So: pick the WSA ST bundle for the lightest head and the lowest price, the WS6 ST package for redundancy, and this WSA XL ST bundle when you hunt windy beaches, busy parks or long cold days where isolation and a cup that seals over the ear are worth 250 g. If you already own a DEUS II, the WSA XL ST headphones are sold on their own as well.

Multi-Process: two detectors in your ears

The reason the ST headphones matter: since software V4.0, the DEUS II can run two audio processing channels at once, a slow, deep-target channel and a fast channel that pulls small non-ferrous out from beside iron, in the same sweep. XP calls it Multi-Process, with Multi-Reactivity, Audio Morphing, Chorus FX and factory presets including DUAL AXIS, which pairs a classic motion channel with a non-motion channel so you can size a target before you dig. It works only with ST-generation headphones like these; the discontinued non-ST WS6 and WSA II cannot run it. The current software is V4.1. Few dealers even mention Multi-Process; it is the strongest argument for buying current.

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 ships 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.

Specifications and what they mean in the field

Waterproof, stated honestly

The detector itself, coil and remote control both, is IP68 rated to 20 m (66 ft), with XP's antenna required when the coil is fully submerged. The WSA XL ST headphones are rated to 1 m (3.3 ft): surf splash and rainstorms, yes; diving, no. For real dives, XP's answer is the wired BH-01 bone conduction headphones, rated with the detector to 20 m (66 ft). We would rather draw that line for you before checkout than after.

Who it is for

Relic and coin hunters who want one wireless metal detector bundle that covers fields, parks, old yards and the beach without a second purchase; beach and surf hunters who need the wind out of their ears; upgraders tired of cabled audio; and anyone buying their last detector for a long while, backed by the five-year warranty. It is an intermediate to advanced machine that rewards learning its programs. Honest limits: the WSA XL ST is the heaviest of the three ST headsets at 250 g (8.8 oz) and has no screen, so if you want a headset that can run the detector by itself, that is the WS6 ST. 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. 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, and XP's ICON coil is ICON-only.

See it in the field

History Seekers hunts run on YouTube and Facebook, where over 1.1 million followers watch us dig relics, coins, and gold across the Southeast and beyond. Most of the History Seekers team swings a DEUS II for relics and coins, and we rotate coils with the site, so this machine shows up across many hunts rather than one dedicated video. Every find you see was made with gear we sell and use ourselves.

History Seekers is a small American business and an authorized XP dealer, not a big box retailer where nobody on staff has ever swung a detector, and not a warehouse that just moves boxes. Everyone here detects, top down, for gold, relics, coins and jewelry, and prior field experience is a hiring requirement, not a coincidence. The person answering your DEUS II question may be the one packing your order for the UPS run, and every purchase keeps everyday Americans working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which of the six DEUS II bundles should I buy?

This one, unless your ground argues otherwise. The 11 in (28 cm) coil is the platform's balanced size for fields, parks, homesites and beaches. Choose the 9 in (22.5 cm) bundle for dense iron and tight sites, or the 13x11 in (34x28 cm) bundle for open acreage and maximum coverage; all three coils fit the same remote, so you can add a second coil later. On the audio side, the WSA XL ST is the over-ear isolation pick, the WSA ST version saves 178 g on your head, and the WS6 ST packages add a headset that doubles as a backup controller. We stock every combination.

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

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

Do the WSA XL ST headphones support Multi-Process?

Yes. Multi-Process, the two-channel audio processing XP introduced with software V4.0, runs only on ST-generation headphones, and the WSA XL ST is exactly that: Multi-Reactivity, the DUAL AXIS preset, Audio Morphing and Chorus FX all work. 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 control and headphones on the same software version; the current version is V4.1.

Is this bundle safe to take underwater?

The detector is: coil and remote control are both IP68 rated to 20 m (66 ft), with XP's antenna required when the coil is submerged. The WSA XL ST headphones are rated to 1 m (3.3 ft), which covers rain, spray and a stumble in the shallows, not diving. XP's diving audio is the wired BH-01 bone conduction headphones, 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's FMF coils and ST headphones, including the WSA XL ST, do also fit the ICON and ICON X.

Can the XP DEUS II find gold?

A lost gold ring, certainly; jewelry is well within any capable detector's reach. The real question is natural gold, and there the DEUS II carries GOLD FIELD, factory program 8, reaching 40 kHz, a dedicated program for mineralized gold ground with IAR ferrous rejection. Hunters focused on nuggets should step to the DEUS II Gold package, where the HF2 elliptical search coil takes the platform from 9 to 120 kHz; that HF2 coil can also be added to this remote later.

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 WSAXLST headphones, each new in its own box, in a configuration XP sanctions for its dealers. History Seekers Metal Detectors is an authorized XP dealer; every XP DEUS II 11 in WSA XL 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.
