Pairing Deus I with WSAII-XL headphones

[lrgoodger]

I can find absolutely nothing on how to do this. Nothing in the manual, nothing online. Is it possible? My Deus I does not even have a headset selection in options. Only pinpointer and coils.

While you are waiting for a response - I searched Google and got a number of hits that "might" help you find a solution: Pairing Deus I with WSAII-XL headphones

XP support emailed me back within minutes and said I bought the wrong headphones. What? Their best headphones are the wrong ones?

I guess owners of the Deus I are not supposed to have headphones that comfortable. It should be a simple matter of a software update to make them compatible (I say SHOULD BE, it is possible there is a hardware incompatibility).

How hard could it have been to make your best headphones work with both of your wireless machines?

The deus 1 's are a single frequiency machine. The deus 2's are multi freq machines. They will not pair

XP does say:

Manufactured in France for our detectors, it works with the DEUS II remote control or with the WS6 Master, i.e. when the WS6 is used as a control.​

I think the clue may be in WSA II (whether XL or not), the II (2) referring to Deus II(?) but that's a SWAG (Sophisticated Wild-Ass Guess).

There is no WSA or WSA I (1) that I can find.

While it seems like the Deus II is/should be an iteration of the Deus, I'm not sure that it is (but IDK that for a fact). In many ways, it seems like a ground-up redesign, especially considering their manifold differences. E.g. consider the remotes:

Deus looks more like an iteration or next-gen of ORX than Deus II looks like a refinement of Deus.

Hopefully, someone here might know of 3rd party aftermarket wireless headphones that would work? IDK.

I spoze if I weren't a complete newb, I'd complain that I can't listen to Bluegrass through the headphones while detecting... 🪕

But then I did notice that none of the XL headphones are stereo; there are no L/R designations (you can deduce with the WS6).
