DetectorPro Black Widow Metal Detector Headphones with 1/4" Angle Plug

The DetectorPro Black Widow headphones are heavy-duty over-ear headphones designed for professional detectorists with special hearing requirements or those hunting in high-noise environments like urban traffic zones and surf-heavy beaches. Dual independent volume controls accommodate unequal hearing ability in each ear, while extended muffs block ambient noise up to 29 decibels. A dual mini-toggle switching system provides detector compatibility and signal limitation when extreme volume isn't required. Built with DetectorPro's industry-first quality components and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the Black Widow delivers maximum volume, sensitivity, and signal quality for detectorists who need it.

Why Detectorists with Hearing Challenges Reach for the Black Widow

• Dual independent volume controls: Adjust each ear separately for unequal hearing ability, unlike many models that use a single control for both channels.
• Extended muff design blocks 29 decibels of ambient noise: Hunt near highways, construction sites, or heavy surf without missing faint target signals drowned out by environmental noise.
• Dual mini-toggle switching system: One switch ensures compatibility with all single-output metal detectors without adapters; the second engages a signal limiter when maximum volume isn't needed, protecting your hearing during prolonged sessions.
• Maximum volume output for profound hearing loss: The Black Widow produces significantly higher output than standard detector headphones, making weak signals audible for detectorists who struggle with conventional models.
• Backed by a limited lifetime warranty: DetectorPro stands behind the construction and speaker quality with warranty coverage that outlasts most headphone manufacturers.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Extended Field Sessions

The Black Widow uses heavy-duty polymer muffs with full-ear surround cushions for comfort during multi-hour hunts. The adjustable padded headband eliminates screws and wire frames that corrode in salt air or sweat. A heavy-duty muff-to-muff connection cable and strain-relieved coil cable with a 90-degree angle stereo connector reduce snag points when you're digging or crawling under brush. The compact foldable design collapses for storage in a detector carry bag. Speakers are tuned to a 200-3200 Hz frequency response, covering only the range metal detectors use without wasting power on frequencies your machine doesn't produce. Impedance is 150 ohms nominal, and sensitivity hits 72 dB at 1 KHz minimum. Our team runs these headphones on detectors from multiple manufacturers, and the compatibility switch handles them all without adapters.

Volume Output Warning and Safe Operation

The Black Widow's significant volume output compared to standard headphones requires caution to prevent eardrum damage. Without the limiting circuit engaged, start with minimal headphone volume control settings while your detector volume is at maximum, then gradually increase headphone volume as tolerated. The limiting switch is there for a reason. We recommend engaging it for most hunts and disengaging only when ambient noise or hearing loss makes signals inaudible. The dual rotary volume controls use segmented click positioning so your settings stay put during movement. For detectorists new to high-output headphones, spend the first session finding your comfortable volume range before committing to a full day in the field.
