Miccus SR-71 Stealth Headphones are the same as minelab ml80's?

they appear to be. what we do not know at this time is if minelab has contracted this company to do any unique electrical or software changes to suit their designs.
example: hardware changes to improve signal strength or prevent interferences. Software or hardware changes to the internal battery chargers to increase battery life, etc. and also mine lab's warrantee...that speaks for it self.In all likelihood there will be more changes that will not be seen or un seen by the user, even if disassembled by the user.The chip sets may be the same but how the manufacturers program those chips can be proprietary.

On the surface they may just be fine. they do pair and show the "+" sign. I'm guessing there are subtle differences not concerning the common user. Even if those changes may only address warrantee issues they are differences just the same.

regardless,on the surface, Miccus SR-71 Stealth Headphones work just fine, and are a cheap alternative. I've seen no competent, comparative, testing to suggest otherwise.

The list of features Minelab states are the same list of feature as the SR-71s. Also, "Miccus" is not the manufacturer, they just another re-brander. There are many brands of this same headphone, mass produced in China, also sold under the Iselector "BT-80" name, which used to be available for about $25 before Minelab began buying all the stock.

I'm wondering why everyone is so set on BT headphones when the WM 08 module comes with the 800. I've seen a handful of the WM08s for sale here and other place.
I just got my Nox 800 yesterday, i tried the Minelab headphones but really prefer my GG. Haven't got the adaptor yet so:

Why all the tape and complicated cables when you can just use a standard 1/8" plug to 1/4" jack pigtail adapter cable with the WM08?

Because Radio Shack didn't have it and I wanted to try the WM08 today, not really that complicated its just a 1/8 to 1/4 adapter and a little pig tail because the 1/8 jack housing wouldn't fit in the WM08 and no reason to shave it down. Tape was just so it didn't pull apart.

Yeah I can buy the correct adapter or get the one above on Amazon for a couple bucks, but it was going to be beamed to me right then when I wanted it and i had the parts.

I want to bump this thread. I am really interested in a pair of earbuds (I have the Miccus SR71 over the ear) that will do APTX LL and IPX7 or better water proofing.
I wish these were available in the U.S., but I cannot find them anywhere!

I take it you read the saga above (earlier in the thread) on these?

Yes, I have read through this thread and others. The only way to get one pair is to by in bulk, which I am not prepared to do.
The CSR8645 chipset may not be APTX-LL in these below, so I don't want to chance it.

I got burned on a pair of MPOW over the ear that said they were LL, but they were not (had to get the Miccus SR71).
Thanks!

I am trying to get a smaller quantity ordered. No word yet. I hope some retailer will make them available. They are not a high end product, but are one of the only inexpensive ones currently being produced.
