The FX-03 uses a single-sided cable that connects to the detector's headphone jack. Single-sided cable routing keeps one side of the body clear and prevents the cable from crossing the chest or interfering with arm swing during coil sweeps. The cable design provides sufficient length to reach XP detector headphone jacks without creating excess slack that snags on vegetation during field use. To understand how these systems compare to wireless setups, you can read our breakdown on metal detector technologies. The single-sided configuration is a common design choice for field headphones because it reduces cable tangling and simplifies routing during active detecting.
