BH-01 Bone Conduction Headphones for Deus II | Serious Detecting

The XP BH-01 is a bone conduction headphone designed for the Deus II metal detector and waterproof to 65 feet (20 meters), transmitting audio through the cheekbones rather than the eardrums so Deus II owners can dive with their ears free of water and pressure. Underwater detecting with standard waterproof headphones fills the ear canal with water and reduces hearing clarity; the BH-01 sits on the cheekbones in front of the ears and transmits target signals directly to the inner ear through bone vibration, leaving the ear canals open for pressure equalization and optional earplug use in disturbed water. Deus II owners hunting rivers, lakes, and saltwater beaches reach for the BH-01 when they need full submersion capability without the discomfort and infection risk of water-filled ear cups.

What's Included with the XP BH-01

• XP BH-01 bone conduction headphones with proprietary 6-pin connector for Deus II remote control

Why Deus II Owners Reach for the BH-01

• Bone conduction design keeps ear canals free underwater, allowing pressure equalization during dives and reducing infection risk in disturbed or contaminated water where standard headphones trap water against the eardrum.
• IP68 waterproof rating supports full submersion to 20 meters, matching the Deus II's dive capability for river hunting, shallow-water beach detecting, and lake-bottom relic recovery.
• Usable on land with ambient sound awareness for detectorists hunting public parks or working near traffic, or paired with dedicated diving earplugs for noise isolation in windy coastal environments.
• Hearing-impaired detectorists benefit from the vibration-based signal transmission, which bypasses compromised auditory pathways and delivers target feedback through cochlear bone conduction; adjusting the Deus II's audio frequencies downward to 100-300 Hz can improve perception depending on the hearing disorder.
• Proudly designed, engineered, and made in France: manufactured at XP's facility and built to the same standards as XP metal detectors.

Underwater Target Recovery with the Deus II

Deus II owners hunting shallow rivers, lake beaches, and saltwater surf zones pair the BH-01 with the detector's full multi-frequency range (4 to 45 kHz) to maintain target separation in mineralized sand and gravel bottoms where single-frequency detectors lose depth. The bone conduction design transmits the Deus II's fast target response through the cheekbones without the muffled audio common to water-filled ear cups. Dedicated diving earplugs (pressure-equalizing type only, never standard foam plugs) isolate the detectorist from wave noise and current turbulence while the BH-01 delivers the audio signal through bone vibration, a setup that works in water clarity too poor for visual target location.

Land Use in Windy or Noisy Environments

The BH-01 also functions as a land headphone for Deus II owners working coastal beaches with sustained wind, open fields near highways, or fairgrounds with crowd noise. The open-ear design allows ambient sound awareness so the detectorist hears approaching vehicles, other hunters calling out, or park staff without removing the headphones. When noise isolation is needed, the detectorist adds standard earplugs (not the pressure-equalizing dive type) to block wind roar or traffic while the bone conduction system continues to deliver the Deus II's audio through the cheekbones. This dual-mode capability makes the BH-01 a single headphone solution for detectorists who alternate between underwater hunts and windy land sites within the same trip.

How it compares to other metal detector headphones

Deus II owners cross-shop the BH-01 against standard wireless and wired headphones when they need underwater capability or open-ear awareness on land.
