Falcon MD20 Gold Tracker Metal Detector Headphones

The Falcon MD20 headphones are designed specifically for the Falcon Gold Tracker MD20 metal detector. The 1/8-inch plug matches the MD20's headphone jack, so the connection is direct and secure. These headphones are not compatible with detectors that use 1/4-inch jacks or wireless Bluetooth connections. If you own an MD20 and need audio isolation for prospecting sessions, these headphones provide a plug-and-play solution.

The Falcon MD20 headphones are lightweight units designed for field use with the MD20 metal detector. Store the headphones in a sealed bag when not in use to protect them from dust and debris. For MD20 owners who prospect in variable conditions, carrying a spare pair in your kit provides backup if your primary headphones are damaged or lost during a hunt. The over-ear design helps isolate target signals from ambient noise, which improves your ability to hear faint sounds during prospecting sessions.

The Falcon MD20 headphones feature a cable with a 1/8-inch plug that connects directly to the MD20 detector's headphone jack. The cable design allows the headphones to function with the MD20's control box during standard field use. Prospectors who run the MD20 with a standard grip setup will find the headphones work as intended without excess slack that snags on brush. The lightweight construction and direct plug connection make these headphones a straightforward audio solution for MD20 operators.

The Falcon MD20 headphones use over-ear cushions that provide comfort during field use. When the cushions wear from extended prospecting sessions or exposure to the elements, the most practical solution is replacing the entire headphone unit. These headphones are priced as an affordable accessory for MD20 operators, so replacement is a straightforward option. Prospectors who hunt frequently often keep a spare pair in their kit so worn cushions or frayed cables don't cut a hunt short.

The Falcon MD20 headphones use an over-ear design that provides passive wind-noise reduction compared to hunting without headphones. The ear cups create a physical barrier that blocks some wind chatter, which helps MD20 operators isolate faint target signals when working exposed hillsides or dry washes. Windy days still present challenges, and some operators supplement the headphones with a hat brim or hood to further reduce wind interference. The lightweight construction makes these headphones comfortable for extended wear while still providing useful noise isolation during prospecting sessions.

The Falcon MD20 headphones are manufactured by Falcon for use with the MD20 metal detector. For warranty information, contact Serious Detecting with your purchase receipt and we will assist with any defect concerns. Wear from normal field use, including frayed cables, torn cushions, and stretched headbands, typically falls outside warranty coverage for most manufacturers. Proper storage in a sealed bag when not in use helps extend the life of the headphones. For general care tips and field-use best practices, visit our metal detecting tips and FAQs page.

The Falcon MD20 headphones will work with any metal detector that has a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) headphone jack. Some detectors use 1/4-inch jacks or wireless Bluetooth connections, and the MD20 headphones are not compatible with those systems without an adapter. If you own multiple detectors, check the jack size before ordering. The lightweight construction and adjustable headband make these headphones a versatile budget option for detectorists who run several machines with 1/8-inch jacks. The direct plug connection ensures reliable audio transmission during field use.

The Falcon MD20 headphones feature an adjustable headband with sliding ear cups that extend or retract to fit different head sizes. To adjust, gently pull the ear cups outward until the headband sits comfortably on your head without pinching or sliding. Most operators set the fit once and leave it, adjusting only when switching between wearing a hat or going bare-headed. The lightweight construction reduces pressure on the crown, which matters during multi-hour prospecting sessions. The over-ear design helps isolate target signals while the adjustable fit accommodates a range of head sizes.

If the Falcon MD20 headphone cable frays or breaks from field use, the most practical solution is replacing the entire headphone unit. Attempting to splice or solder the wiring often results in intermittent connections or signal loss. Prospectors who hunt frequently often carry a spare pair in their kit so a frayed cable doesn't end a hunt early. To extend cable life, avoid wrapping the headphones tightly around the detector shaft and store them loosely in a pouch when not in use. The 1/8-inch plug design makes replacement headphones easy to swap when needed.

The Falcon MD20 headphones use over-ear cushions that can trap heat during extended use in hot weather. Prospectors working desert placer claims or summer dry washes may find the ear cups uncomfortable after two to three hours of continuous wear. Taking short breaks to remove the headphones and let your ears cool helps, as does wearing a moisture-wicking headband to manage sweat. The lightweight construction reduces some of the heat burden compared to heavier studio-style headphones, but over-ear designs inherently trade ventilation for noise isolation.

The Falcon MD20 headphones will work with any smartphone, tablet, or audio device that has a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) headphone jack. The plug is a standard size used across consumer electronics, so the headphones are not limited to metal detector use. However, if you need headphones primarily for music or phone calls, dedicated consumer headphones will deliver better audio quality. For detectorists who want a single pair of headphones that works with both the MD20 and a smartphone, these will function. The lightweight design and adjustable headband make them comfortable for extended wear across different applications.
