Minelab Equinox - WM08 Wireless Module 

Wow. And here I was thinking that that little wireless module was what connected my M80 headphones to the equinox detector as a go between. No wonder I couldn’t hear anything out of the headphones! I understand now and I appreciate your video. I bought the detector from a friend and I’m working my way through it and I’m thrilled about the prospect of having wireless headphones after detecting with my ex caliber 1000 for so many years and letting the detector float and having it yank my headphones off of my head! I’ll definitely be pairing the headphones to the detector by Bluetooth to start. He had told me that he was never able to pair the headphones to the detector and now I’m suspecting that it is because he involved the wireless unit thinking again that it was an interface connecting the headphones to the machine whereas it is not in your video has allowed me to realize that.

Thanks for clearing that up. Wasnt sure how that worked.

Once again Steve, one of the simplest and most comprehensive explanations out there! The best use of the WM08 for me would be the ability to wear waterproof headphones during wet weather. The ML80's ARE NOT waterproof, so having this option, for me, is a MUST! Hope your detecting is going well and thanks for the content 👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Phil

Thanks mate. Easy, simple instructions. I didn't really know what it was.

I definitely can hear a difference in the latency when using Bluetooth vs. the module when detecting in trashy sites. Thanks for posting!

I, too, didn't know what the WM08 unit was for. Yesterday, my headphones that came with my 800 machine would not turn off. I found this video & it answered all my questions & will be the new way I'll detect with my 800. The headphones are still under warranty so I'll get them replaced as a backup. I also liked you video about getting an extra bottom shaft to make switching coils easier. I ordered a new shaft today. Thank you for your excellent videos.

I just could not believe that using the WM 08 Wireless Audio Module and the wireless ML80 head phones had to be connected with a wire. All this stuff is WIRELESS! WTF. I did read the manual and just did not want to believe it was SO! I completely understand now. Thanks for sharing...

once again, your videos and explanation is very informative. Only been detecting since January and I've learnt so much watching your videos. Cheers

I do a lot of beach detecting and recently in strong winds and big surf have been struggling to hear the tones. This is a game changer.

Great tutorial! I like to know and hear my surroundings so I'll have to go with the ear bud approach.

Thanks for the thorough explanation on this module!

Had no clue what that was in my headphone case. I appreciate your video sir...

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I will have to pick up a set of earbuds to use this summer.

Taught me everything I needed to know. Thank you!

Just found your channel. Your tutorials are great. Thank you and looking forward to more videos.

Just subscribed good useful information about the Nox thanks for you efforts.

I love using both depending on the weather. if it's a hot day and you are wearing a big hat, the headphones cant be worn properly and if you do wear them with a baseball cap, the headphones cook your ears, so I use ear phones with the module. also in winter when I wear a beanie hat, the earphones with the module is better than headphones over a beanie. definitely worth having. 👍

Thanks Steve. I am going to try this with some hearing aids I now have to see if they will connect. That way when the mobile rings, which I can hear and answer over bluetooth, I may have the best of both worlds, even though, as you say, this is a WiFi connect device. I'll let you know for other users. And also, thank you for your other video about chatter on an 800. got lazy and didn't wash the sand out from under the skid plate and had devil's own trouble the other day. Your vid reminded me of that necessity and problem solved. Regards John

Now I know. Cheers and thank you.

Really good !

great info thanks

Could I just ask, Is it still advisable to get low latency aptx headphones or buds to connect to the module? Would wearing 'normal' wired headphones to the module cause any lag, thanks Brilliant informative simple videos by the way, always my go to if I need information! keep up the good work 👍

Thanks for the great video. The Nox headphones are definitely hard to wear with a brimmed hat, or when it’s really hot. This just might be the solution.

Thanks great exp.

My biggest problem with the mw08 is it's a lot quieter than the headphones the nox comes with.. it needs to be a lot louder

Nice my friend

Good video. helpful.

Did you know that you can connect Apple AirPods and similar Bluetooth headphones directly to the Equinox. As we know the headphones that come with the Nox are not waterproof or even resistant, so you could pickup virtually any pair of waterproof Bluetooth headphones and detect in the rain. 🤙

I just purchased the 800 they don't provide much information in the box about some of the stuff included. This device had me wondering why it was included?

Can this be used with the double ended jack that comes with to connect the 600 to wireless headphones? jack iin headphone port on detector and other end in that module?

Can l use my ear phones that are standard and listen to music on my iPad, on the wm08 or do l need a certain type. I do like bulky headphones particularly in summer

I have a set of Raycon Wireless earbuds. will these connect to the detector?

Wat about hearing aids.can u pair it blue tooth hearing aids

Can you recommend a wired earbud that works with this module? Thank you.

Do you need to charge the headphones too?

Hi so how do I connect my headphones to it after it is connected to the detector. Thanks

I'm wondering, can you pair wireless ear buds to the WM08 module?

New sub.

Can you use airpods

Bluetooth for metal detecting was just a bad idea.
