Minelab Wired Stereo Headphones 3.5mm

The Minelab Wired Stereo Headphones with 3.5 mm (1/8") plug are the genuine headphones included in the box with the Vanquish 460 and Vanquish 560 — sold separately here as a replacement or spare. They plug straight into the headphone socket on the back of any Vanquish 60 Series control pod, including the Vanquish 360, which ships without headphones. No charging, no pairing, no audio lag: plug in and every faint, deep target comes through clearly.

Why Wired Headphones for Detecting?

Headphones are the single cheapest upgrade to your find rate. A detector's built-in speaker competes with wind, traffic, and surf - exactly the conditions where deep or small targets whisper instead of shout. Wired headphones isolate that audio and deliver it with zero latency, so the tone you hear lines up precisely with the coil's position. That instant response is why many detectorists keep a wired set in the pouch even when they own wireless - and if your battery anxiety is real on all-day hunts, wired audio draws almost nothing from the detector's 10-hour lithium-ion battery and never needs charging itself.

Key Features

• Genuine Minelab accessory - the same wired stereo headphones supplied with the Vanquish 460 and 560
• Standard 3.5 mm (1/8") plug fits the headphone socket on all Vanquish 60 Series detectors
• Zero audio lag and nothing to charge or pair - reliable backup to Bluetooth headphones
• Lightweight, adjustable fit for long detecting sessions
• Also works with any metal detector or device that has a 3.5 mm headphone socket

Compatibility

• Minelab Vanquish 360 adds private audio to a model that ships speaker-only
• Minelab Vanquish 460 direct replacement for the in-box headphones
• Minelab Vanquish 560 & 560 Pro Pack direct replacement for the in-box headphones
• Any detector with a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") headphone socket

One honest note: while every Vanquish 60 Series detector is IP68 waterproof to 5 m (16 ft), these headphones are not - they're for dry-land and shoreline hunting, not submersion.
