The ML105 uses proprietary low-latency wireless technology that delivers audio in under 20ms, while standard Bluetooth headphones introduce significantly higher lag between the detector's signal and the sound reaching your ears. That difference matters most in high-trash environments where faint high tones from silver or gold targets appear briefly as the coil sweeps past iron. With standard Bluetooth, the delayed audio means you've already moved the coil off the target by the time you hear the tone. The ML105's sub-20ms response matches wired-headphone performance, so you can react to masked targets in real time.
