Description
Every serious detectorist has had the nightmare: miles from the truck, and the control box dies. This is the DEUS II package that laughs at it. The WS6 ST stereo headphones are not just headphones, they are a second, complete controller with their own screen. Two brains, one machine, zero dead days.
Why This Package
This is the full-boat DEUS II: remote control, 9 in / 22.5 cm FMF search coil, and the WS6 ST stereo headset. FMF Fast Multi Frequency runs 4 to 45 kHz simultaneously (with 49 single frequencies when you want to lock one in), the recovery speed that made the DEUS II's reputation in iron, and XP's radio protocol connecting coil, remote, and headphones with no perceptible delay. The WS6 ST earns the "stereo" in its name with XP's V4 stereo audio firmware, and its master mode means it can run the entire detector by itself: coil control, settings, target ID on its own screen. Buy one detector, own a backup controller.
Stereo Changes the Hunt: Do Not Buy the Discontinued Version by Accident
Shopping the DEUS II line right now, you will see lower-priced packages at many dealers. Look closely: most of those still include the previous generation non-stereo WS6 or WSA II headphones. Those packages are discontinued, and they cannot do what this one does. XP's V4 firmware gives ST stereo headsets Stereo Multi-Processing: two fully independent detection channels running at the same time. Run two different Reactivity settings at once, one in each ear, deep-and-slow in one channel and fast target separation in the other. In XP's own words, it eliminates the compromise between depth and target separation. In field terms, it is like covering the same ground twice with one swing. You can even pair a static and a dynamic detection mode simultaneously. The older headphones will never run these features; XP built V4 for the ST generation. At this level of the hobby, buy the current machine once instead of the discontinued one twice.

Dual Axis mode (Firmware 4.1): sizing, shape, and depth you would not expect from a 9 in coil. One ear runs your discrimination program while the other runs a non-motion all-metal channel with a wider detection footprint. That second channel hears large, deep targets that standard motion programs miss entirely, and the audio envelope lets you judge a target's size and shape before you dig. Even with the compact 9 in search coil, Dual Axis makes this detector reach deeper than you would expect.
Multi-Processing and Audio Morphing (Firmware V4). Dual Reactivity runs a fast, trash-separating profile in one ear and a deep, slow profile in the other. Audio Morphing shifts the tone character as the search coil closes in on a target, so you read depth and proximity by ear without looking at the screen.
Looking for maximum sensitivity on small gold and iron-masked targets instead? See the DEUS II Gold. Want a bigger coil later? The HF2 coil and other sizes pair wirelessly with this same remote.
Technical Specs and Benefits

| WS6 ST master mode with 64x64 px screen | A full backup controller: the hunt continues if the remote stays home or goes down |
| V4 Stereo Multi-Processing (ST headsets only) | Two independent detection channels: run two Reactivity settings at once, one per ear, no more depth vs separation compromise |
| V4.1 Dual Axis mode | Discrimination in one ear, non-motion all-metal in the other: judge target size and shape by ear, and hear deep targets motion modes miss |
| Remote + search coil IP68, 66 ft / 20 m | Creeks, surf, and full submersion without a housing |
| WS6 ST weatherproof, 82 g / 2.9 oz, 15 h battery, USB-C | All-day audio through rain and beach spray, charged in under 3 hours |
| From 750 g / 1.65 lb with the 9 in search coil | All-day swing weight, XP's own figure for this coil size |

Compatibility
- Search coils: 9 in / 22.5 cm FMF (included), 11 in / 28 cm FMF, 13x11 in / 34x28 cm FMF, HF2 elliptical 9.5 x 5 in / 24 x 13 cm. All pair wirelessly.
- Audio/control: WS6 ST (included) doubles as a master controller; also compatible with WSA-ST, WSA-XL ST, WSA II, WSA II-XL.
- Accessories: XP MI-6 pinpointer pairs directly.
- Firmware: free XP updates; keep headset firmware matched to the remote. V4 and V4.1 stereo features require an ST headset like the one in this package.
Who It's For
The detectorist who wants the whole DEUS II system in one box: relic hunters working colonial homesites and iron-heavy ground, coin shooters, and beach hunters who need real waterproofing rather than promises. If your targets run small (fine gold, coins on edge, thin jewelry), look at the DEUS II Gold with the high-frequency HF2 coil instead; if you already own XP headphones, the RC-only package saves money. This package is the flagship all-rounder.
