The Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk wireless headphone kit is a wireless audio system for detectorists running Garrett detectors with 1/4-inch jacks, 2-pin AT connectors, or built-in Z-Lynk compatibility. The kit pairs MS-3 headphones (with built-in Z-Lynk receiver and volume control) with the WT-1 wireless transmitter and two connector cables, delivering cable-free operation on multi-hour hunts where headphone cables snag on brush or interfere with swing mechanics. Garrett detector owners hunting open fields, parks, or beaches get full freedom of movement without sacrificing audio clarity. The system works with the AT Gold, AT Pro, AT Max, Ace Apex, Infinium LS, SeaHunter Mark II, ATX, and other Garrett models equipped with standard headphone outputs.
What's Included with the MS-3 Z-Lynk Kit
- Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk wireless headphones with built-in receiver
- WT-1 wireless transmitter with mounting band
- 2-pin AT connector to Micro USB cable for AT-series detectors
- 1/4-inch jack to Micro USB cable for detectors with standard output
- USB charging cable
Why Garrett Detector Owners Reach for the MS-3 Z-Lynk
- Cable-free operation eliminates headphone-cord snags on vegetation, pack straps, and swing-arm interference during extended grid searches.
- Built-in volume control on the headphones lets you adjust signal levels without reaching for the detector control box, useful when switching between trashy iron zones and open ground.
- Dual-cable compatibility supports both 2-pin AT connectors (AT Gold, AT Pro, AT Max) and 1/4-inch jacks (Infinium LS, SeaHunter Mark II) so the same kit works across multiple Garrett models in your arsenal.
- Foldable headband design compacts for transport in a pack or vehicle, and the adjustable band fits different head sizes without pressure points on multi-hour sessions.
- Water-resistant construction handles light rain and humid conditions, though the headphones are not submersible (the Garrett Vortex VX9 and similar models pair with fully submersible wired headphones for shallow-water work).
Padded Earcup Comfort for Extended Hunts
The MS-3 headphones use cushioned ear pads and an adjustable headband to distribute weight evenly across the crown and ears. We've run these on six-hour park hunts and the padding stays comfortable without the pressure fatigue common in hard-shell over-ear designs. The 8-ohm speaker impedance delivers clear audio across Garrett's target-ID tones without distortion at higher volumes. Frequency response spans 30 to 18,000 Hz, covering the full range of Garrett's multi-frequency signals on the Garrett Vortex VX7 and Garrett Vortex VX5 platforms. The foldable frame collapses for storage in a backpack side pocket, and the included mounting band secures the WT-1 transmitter to your detector's stem or hip-mount bracket.
- Best for: Detectorists running Garrett models with 1/4-inch or 2-pin outputs who hunt in open terrain where headphone cables interfere with movement.
- Less ideal for: Underwater detecting (water-resistant only, not submersible) or non-Garrett detectors without compatible outputs.
