The Minelab 3011-0544 is the genuine factory replacement cord for the Sennheiser HD 505 headphones supplied with the GPZ 8000. If your audio has developed a crackle, a dead channel, or a split jacket from brush and pack straps, this is the part that restores clean audio instead of replacing the whole headset.
The Cord Fails Long Before the Headphones Do
On a detachable headphone set, the cable absorbs abuse the headphones never see. It gets stepped on, wound too tight around the control box, snagged in brush, and flexed thousands of times right at the plug. The drivers in an HD 505 will outlast several cords. Replacing the cable takes seconds in the field and costs a small fraction of a new headset, which is why most prospectors running Sennheiser HD 505 headphones keep a spare cord in the truck instead of losing a hunt to intermittent audio.
Coiled Cord and 1/8 in Connection
This is a coiled cable rather than a straight one. The coil takes up slack so the cord is not dragging at your boots while you are bent over a target, and it stretches and recovers instead of yanking the headphones sideways when it catches on something. It terminates in a 1/8 in (3.5 mm) connection to match the HD 505 and the Echo Sonic Pro audio output on the Minelab GPZ 8000.
Genuine Minelab, Not a Generic Cord
Aftermarket cables often fit the jack but sit loose in the recess or use thin strain relief that splits within a season. This is the factory part, built to the same specification as the cord that shipped with your detector, so the length, the coil, and the fit at the plug all match what the machine was designed around.
