The XP WSA ST is a wireless stereo headphone designed for Deus II owners who prioritize all-day comfort and weatherproof reliability. At 2.5oz (72 grams), this ultra-lightweight neckband design delivers clear audio without the fatigue of heavier over-ear models, and its rainproof construction keeps you hunting through sudden downpours or humid coastal air. Built with next-generation electronics and USB Type-C charging, the WSA ST is fully compatible with the Deus II V4 update and pairs seamlessly with the Deus II remote, WS6 Master, or WS6-ST Master control units.

Why Deus II Owners Reach for the WSA ST
- Ultra-lightweight neckband eliminates pressure fatigue during 6-8 hour park hunts where heavier over-ear models cause discomfort.
- Rainproof construction lets you continue detecting through weather changes without worrying about moisture damage to the electronics.
- XP's wireless protocol transmits audio up to 10 times faster than low-latency Bluetooth, delivering quicker target response and more accurate tonal shifts for precise pinpointing in iron-dense sites.
- Foldable design collapses into a compact form factor that fits easily into a jacket pocket or small gear pouch without the bulk of rigid over-ear frames.
- Detachable control module allows you to connect a wired headset as an optional upgrade or swap the back phone frame for field repairs without replacing the entire unit.
Where the WSA ST Delivers Clear Advantage Over Heavier Models
All-Day Park and Field Hunts Where Weight Matters
We've run the WSA ST through extended sessions in city parks and open farmland where detecting windows stretch past six hours. The 72-gram neckband distributes weight around your neck rather than clamping onto your ears, eliminating the pressure points that heavier over-ear models create after three hours of continuous wear. The foldable frame collapses flat when you take a break, and the rainproof seal holds up when afternoon thunderstorms roll in without warning. XP's wireless protocol keeps audio latency imperceptible even when you're swinging fast in trashy iron patches, and the 4-band equalizer adjusts directly from the Deus II remote to match your hearing profile without pulling the headphones off.
Coastal and Saltwater Beach Detecting in Humid Conditions
The rainproof rating becomes critical when you're working wet sand or surf zones where salt spray and humidity destroy non-sealed electronics. We've used the WSA ST in Gulf Coast surf hunts where the air stays saturated and occasional waves reach your knees. The sealed construction keeps moisture out of the driver housings, and the lightweight neckband stays secure during quick movements to dodge incoming waves. The stereo audio helps separate shallow aluminum trash from deeper silver targets when you're working tidal cuts, and the fast wireless transmission keeps tonal accuracy intact even when the XP Deus II metal detector is processing rapid target streams in black sand.
