Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless Receiver with 1/4-Inch Headphone Jack

The Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless Receiver (WR-1) converts any wired headphones with a 1/4-inch jack into a wireless setup for metal detecting. Detectorists who own Garrett AT Series - All-Terrain Waterproof Detectors or other brands gain cable-free mobility without sacrificing audio fidelity. The receiver pairs with a Z-Lynk transmitter module (sold separately) to deliver detector audio signals over a 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping link with a 17-millisecond delay, six times faster than Bluetooth. Hunters working trashy parks or open fields no longer snag cables on brush, and the 30-hour rechargeable battery outlasts multi-day trips.

What's Included with the Z-Lynk Receiver

• Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless Receiver (WR-1) with 1/4-inch headphone jack
• Micro-USB charging cable

Why Detectorists Running Wired Headphones Choose the Z-Lynk Receiver

• 17-millisecond audio delay eliminates the lag common in Bluetooth kits, preserving target-response timing critical for identifying iron versus non-ferrous signals in trash-dense sites.
• Frequency-hopping technology cycles through the 2.4 GHz band to prevent interference when multiple detectorists hunt the same area with wireless headphones.
• 30-hour runtime per charge supports week-long detecting trips without daily recharging, and the micro-USB port accepts power from laptop, vehicle USB, or smartphone charger.
• Water-resistant IP52 rating protects the receiver module against light rain and dust, though submersion voids the warranty.
• Nearly universal compatibility works with VLF single-frequency and pulse multi-frequency detectors from most brands, provided the transmitter module matches the detector's connector type.

Micro-USB Charging and Auto-Off Power Management

The Z-Lynk receiver recharges via the included micro-USB cable connected to any USB power source. A full charge delivers approximately 30 hours of operation. The auto-off function cuts power after 30 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery when the detector is switched off between hunts. Hunters carrying a USB power bank extend field time indefinitely by topping off the receiver during lunch breaks. The IP52 water-resistant housing withstands light rain but not submersion, so remove the module before rinsing muddy headphones. For Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector and Garrett AT Gold Metal Detector – Waterproof Gold Detector users, pair the receiver with the Z-Lynk WT-1 transmitter and a 2-pin AT connector cable to complete the wireless chain.

Compatibility Notes for Multi-Detector Setups

The Z-Lynk receiver accepts any wired headphones with a 1/4-inch plug, but the transmitter module (sold separately) must match the detector's audio jack or pin configuration. Detectors with 1/4-inch headphone jacks require a different transmitter adapter. Hunters running multiple detector brands keep one receiver and swap transmitters as needed, reducing the cost of wireless setups across a fleet. The system operates on both VLF and pulse detectors without audio-quality loss, preserving the full 20 kHz bandwidth for high-fidelity target tones.
