Keep your favourite wired headphones, but remove the cable running back to your detector. The Minelab WM 08 receives audio wirelessly from compatible EQUINOX detectors using Minelab Wi-Stream technology, giving you fast, responsive target audio while you move more freely in the field.
Standard wired headphones are reliable, familiar and often more comfortable for long detecting sessions, but the cable can catch on clothing, tools, scrub or your detector shaft. The WM 08 solves that by letting you plug your wired headphones into a small module worn on your clothing, while the detector sends the audio wirelessly.
For detectorists who rely on precise audio timing, the big advantage is responsiveness. Wi-Stream is designed for fast detector audio, so target tones arrive with much less delay than standard Bluetooth. This helps when you are sweeping across a target and trying to pinpoint where the strongest response actually sits in the ground.
Approx. 17 ms Wi-Stream audio delay between compatible EQUINOX detectors and the WM 08 module.
Plug in your preferred 3.5 mm / 1⁄8-inch wired headphones and avoid a long headphone lead connected to the detector control pod.
Typical battery runtime is approximately 18 hours, with magnetic USB charging for simple top-ups between hunts.
Up to four WM 08 modules can be paired and used at the same time, useful for coaching or shared listening sessions.

It is especially useful when target response timing matters, when you dislike headphone cables running to the control pod, or when you want a spare module ready for longer detecting sessions.
