XP Icon Fast Multi-Frequency Metal Detector with WSA ST Headphones
The standard XP Icon package delivers top-tier simultaneous Fast Multi-Frequency (FMF) detection depth in a simplified, turn-on-and-go configuration. Equipped with a clear remote control pod, an 11-inch (28 cm) FMF search coil, and lightweight WSA ST wireless headphones, this complete package cuts out complex menu adjustment layers while retaining elite hunting power. The entire assembly provides professional ground stability on an ultra-lightweight frame weighing approximately 1.75 lbs (794 grams), making it an ideal turn-key wireless solution for beach, field, and relic hunting.
Key Performance Advantages
- Simultaneous FMF Multi-Frequency Power: The Icon runs on XP's advanced simultaneous multi-frequency architecture. By transmitting a wide spectrum of high and low frequencies through the soil at the exact same moment, the machine maintains rock-solid ground balance and precise target identification in difficult environments, including wet saltwater sand and highly mineralized dirt.
- Complete Factory Wireless Freedom: Unlike other entry-level detectors that tether you to the shaft with a headphone cord, this package includes the wireless WSA ST headphones out of the box. Operating on a low-latency digital radio loop, they deliver lightning-fast target signals with absolutely zero delay, ensuring you hear faint target whispers the moment the loop passes over them.
- Streamlined, Intuitive Interface: The standard Icon focuses strictly on the parameters that matter most: depth, stability, and speed. By organizing settings into high-utility factory programs, it eliminates confusing menu clutter, making it an incredibly productive machine for both seasoned professionals wanting simplicity and fast-learning beginners.
- Waterproof Agility: The control pod and 11-inch (28 cm) search coil are fully IP68 rated and submersible up to 16 feet (5 meters). Whether you are wading mountain creeks or sweeping ocean surf lines, the Icon is built to handle the elements seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary feature differences between the Icon and the IconX?
The standard Icon is designed for direct, streamlined field performance, while the IconX targets deep customization. The IconX introduces a specialized 28 kHz mono frequency for micro-gold, a rigid carbon fiber middle stem, an advanced 7-level reactivity tuning scale, and ultra-fine 0.5-point discrimination steps. The standard Icon retains the exact same core multi-frequency depth engine but presents it in a faster, highly simplified interface that requires minimal field adjustment.
Can I safely submerge this detector package underwater?
Yes, but you must protect the audio gear. The Icon remote control pod and the 11-inch (28 cm) FMF search coil carry an industrial IP68 waterproof rating and can be safely submerged down to 16 feet (5 meters). This makes the machine excellent for beach wading and creek hunting. However, the included WSA ST wireless headphones are weather-resistant only and are NOT waterproof. They must never be dunked or allowed to drop into the water. For deep wading or fully submerged tracking, you must utilize specialized waterproof bone conduction headphones.
Does the remote control have an active speaker if I do not want to wear the headphones?
Yes. The Icon remote control features a clear, high-output external speaker built directly into the housing. If you are hunting in hot weather or simply prefer to remain fully aware of your physical surroundings, you can leave the headphones turned off and receive all target audio and iron grunts directly from the control pod speaker.
