Unlock the freedom to use your favorite wired headphones with your detector. The genuine XP ICON and ICONX Remote Control Headphone Jack Adapter seamlessly converts your remote's multi-point connector into a standard 3.5mm (1/8") audio jack, giving you ultimate audio versatility in the field.
Why Choose the Genuine XP Headphone Adapter?
While the XP wireless ecosystem is second to none, many seasoned detectorists still have a favorite pair of wired audiophile or weather-resistant headphones they trust to hear those deep, faint whispers. Manufactured by XP Metal Detectors, this OEM adapter ensures you never have to compromise on your preferred audio setup.
At Serious Detecting, we highly recommend keeping this adapter in your gear bag as an essential backup. If you forget to charge your wireless headset or experience interference, simply plug this adapter into the back of your ICON or ICONX remote, connect your wired headphones, and keep hunting. It securely threads into the remote's port, protecting the internal pins from dirt and debris while providing a stable, crackle-free audio connection.
