The XP Deus WS4 is a wireless backphone headset with an integrated control interface that lets Deus operators run the detector without the remote control. Deus owners working high-traffic sites where fast target recovery matters benefit from the WS4's ability to adjust sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance, frequency selection across 35 steps from 3.7 to 27.7 kHz, and audio response directly from the headset. The detachable earpiece design means the control module mounts on the shaft, wrist, or in a pocket when the backphone configuration doesn't fit the hunt. Learn more about how these configurations interact with various metal detector technologies.

Why Deus Owners Reach for the WS4
- Full detector control from the headset: adjust discrimination, sensitivity, ground balance, frequency, multi-tone settings, reactivity, and TX power without carrying the remote, cutting system weight for all-day hunts.
- Detachable earpiece converts the backphone into a shaft-mounted or wrist-mounted control module, letting you pair the WS4 with wired headphones via the optional Clip Jack adapter for cold-weather or high-noise environments.
- 27-hour lithium battery runtime on a 2-hour USB charge keeps you hunting through multi-day trips without recharging, and the headset displays battery status for both itself and the coil.
- Rain-resistant construction and foldable design fit wet-weather hunts and pack transport without adding bulk to your kit.
- Made in France at XP's facility and backed by a 5-year warranty with LONGTIME certification for long-term durability.
Lightweight Control for Trashy Park and Beach Hunts
High-Traffic Park Sites with Dense Iron
The WS4's on-headset interface lets you shift between 1, 2, 3, 4-tone audio modes and full tones without pulling the remote from a pouch, useful in parks where target density changes block to block. Adjust reactivity and discrimination on the fly as you move from wood chips to turf. The headset displays target conductivity readings, so you can make dig decisions without glancing at a remote screen. Frequency offset adjustment from the WS4 clears interference from nearby detectors when you're working a popular site with other hunters.
Beach Hunting in Wet Sand
Rain-resistant construction handles saltwater spray and sudden weather shifts. The 27-hour battery outlasts long tidal-window sessions without a midday recharge. Ground balance and sensitivity adjustments from the headset mean you adapt to shifting mineralization as you move from dry sand to the wash without stopping to access a remote. The foldable design packs into the included case for transport between sites.
