Hey folks…In a previous article I described a way to set up any metal detector with wireless headphones using an FM transmitter and a small FM radio. I’ve researched a little more and discovered another way to add wireless headphones to any metal detector – this time with bluetooth. I need to preface this by saying I’ve never tried this, but it deffinitely seems feasible and would likely work better than the FM method.

Some web browsing has revealed several models of bluetooth transmitters that plug into a headphone jack in the same manner the FM transmitter would in my prior article. Some models include the IOGear Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter and Sony Bluetooth Transmitter and Adapter. I’ve linked to both on Amazon. Be sure to research these and any other transmitters. One of the reviews for the Sony adapter mentions a lag time, so this could really come into play when detecting.

Once you have the transmitter, then all you need is a bluetooth headset or headphones. Tons are available online.

Again, I’ve never tried this but it does seem like a wireless option for those of you that want to sever the cord!

What do you think? Would this kind of bluetooth headphone set-up work with metal detecting?
