XP DEUS II Remote Control Headphone Jack Adapter

The XP DEUS II Remote Control Headphone Jack Adapter is compatible exclusively with the XP DEUS II remote control. It connects directly to the DEUS II remote and provides a standard 3.5mm jack for wired headphones. This adapter does not work with the original legacy XP DEUS or other alternative detector models. If you own a DEUS II machine and want to integrate standard wired headphones instead of utilizing the wireless audio pods, this adapter is the factory-designed accessory layout.

Yes, the adapter accepts standard 3.5mm headphone plugs. It functions reliably with over-ear studio monitors, in-ear buds, and basic foam-pad headphones. The angled connector design means the headphone cable routes safely along the side of the remote rather than protruding straight out, which reduces environmental snag risks. If you already own a comfortable pair of wired headphones, this adapter lets you use them with your equipment instead of relying on wireless pods.

The adapter provides a direct wired connection for routing audio from the remote control to your headphones. The actual audio output quality and tone crispness depend primarily on the hardware specifications of the headphones you choose to connect. The underlying simultaneous multi-frequency processing and signal recovery speeds remain completely unchanged. Understanding how different audio profiles and frequencies operate together in real-world environments is a key element explained in our guide to metal detector technologies.

The angled 3.5mm connector sits flush against the DEUS II remote's body, which keeps the headphone cable close to the unit instead of protruding at a 90-degree angle. This low-profile design reduces the chance of snagging on brush, jacket zippers, or pack straps during a hunt. We've used the adapter on wooded relic sites where branches are constant obstacles, and the angled routing kept the cable out of the way. If you hunt in heavy cover or store your detector in a pack between sites, the angled connector is a practical advantage over a straight plug.

You can leave the adapter connected to the DEUS II remote, but we recommend unplugging it when you switch back to wireless audio or when storing the detector for extended periods. The 3.5mm jack and the remote's connection point are both durable, but repeated stress on the connection (from the cable being pulled or the remote being tossed into a pack) can eventually loosen the fit. Unplugging the adapter when you're not using wired headphones extends the lifespan of both the adapter and the remote's connection point.

No, this adapter is designed specifically for the DEUS II remote control, not the WS6 master headphones. If you run the DEUS II in remote-only mode (without the WS6) and want wired audio, this adapter is the correct accessory. DEUS II users who operate with the WS6 as the primary control unit will not need this adapter unless they also use the standalone remote. The adapter's purpose is to add wired headphone capability to the remote control configuration, giving you an alternative to wireless audio when using the remote.

We recommend keeping the adapter and the remote's jack dry during hunts. If you detect in wet conditions or shallow water, the wireless audio pods are a better choice since they offer waterproof operation. The adapter is best suited for dry-land hunting where wired headphones offer audio clarity or comfort advantages over wireless options. When hunting in environments where moisture exposure is likely, switching to the wireless audio system protects both the adapter and the remote's connection point from water damage.

The adapter is a short cable designed to connect the remote control to your headphones without excess slack. The compact length keeps the connection point close to the remote, which reduces cable management issues. Your headphones' own cable handles the distance to your ears. If you need a longer reach, you can use a standard 3.5mm extension cable between the adapter and your headphones. The short design minimizes the amount of cable between the remote and your headphones, keeping the setup streamlined and reducing potential snag points during field use.

The DEUS II remote's battery performance is solid regardless of which audio method you choose. Whether you use wired headphones via this adapter or the wireless audio system, the remote provides reliable power for full-day hunts. The adapter allows you to connect wired headphones as an alternative to the wireless pods, giving you flexibility in how you configure your audio setup. Battery life will vary based on your detector settings, search conditions, and overall usage patterns during your hunt.

Yes, if your bone-conduction headphones have a standard 3.5mm plug, they will work with this adapter. We've tested bone-conduction sets on the DEUS II and found them useful for hunters who need to keep their ears open for environmental sounds like traffic or other people in a public park. The adapter does not limit headphone type, it simply provides a 3.5mm jack. Bone-conduction headphones that rely on Bluetooth will not work with this adapter since the connection is wired only.

The adapter is manufactured by XP Metal Detectors in France. XP produces the adapter as a factory accessory specifically for the DEUS II remote control.
