The XP Deus WS5 is a full-sized wireless headphone system that doubles as a standalone control interface for the XP Deus metal detector. Deus owners working in wet conditions or preferring a lighter carry setup use the WS5 to run the detector without the remote, controlling discrimination, sensitivity, ground balance, frequency selection, and tone settings directly from the headphone's LCD display. The weatherproof housing isolates ambient noise while the foldable design packs flat for transport.
What's Included with the XP Deus WS5
- XP Deus WS5 Full-Sized Wireless Headphones with integrated LCD control display
- USB charging cable
Why XP Deus Owners Reach for the WS5
- Standalone operation: control every detector setting from the headphone display when the remote is stowed, reducing system weight and eliminating a failure point in wet weather.
- Full-spectrum frequency access: adjust across 35 frequencies from the headphone interface, matching ground conditions without pulling the remote from your pocket.
- Multi-tone flexibility: switch between five multi-tone profiles, full tones, and pitch mode on the fly as target density changes.
- Weatherproof construction: sealed against rain so the headphones stay functional when conditions turn, common on coastal hunts and spring field searches.
- Extended runtime: lithium battery delivers reliable session length, and the display shows charge status for both headphones and coil so you're never caught without power mid-hunt.
Remote-Free Detection on the XP Deus
The WS5's control interface replicates the full feature set of the Deus remote. When you leave the remote behind, the headphones manage discrimination patterns, sensitivity adjustments, ground balance tracking, reactivity, transmit power, frequency offset, iron volume, and audio response. You access the same 10 factory programs and 8 user-customizable slots. The system weight drops and your setup simplifies to coil and headphones.
Park and Field Hunts Where Target Density Demands Tone Changes
Trashy urban parks often require switching from a broad multi-tone profile to pitch mode as you move from open grass to high-iron zones near benches and pathways. The WS5 lets you toggle tone modes without breaking stride. The large LCD shows conductivity readouts so you can verify marginal signals before digging, useful when working a site with pull-tab and foil contamination mixed among coin targets.
Wet-Sand and Shallow-Water Hunts on Saltwater Beaches
Surf zone detecting benefits from the WS5's weatherproof housing. Rain and saltwater spray won't penetrate the sealed ear cups, and the foldable frame survives being stowed in a wet sand scoop bag between sessions. When mineralization shifts as you move from dry sand to the wet line, you adjust ground balance and frequency from the headphone display without exposing the remote to moisture.
