DetectorPro Black Widow Headphones – 1/8" Plug for Minelab EQUINOX & MANTICORE
Hear faint target signals more clearly—even around traffic, crowds, wind, and roaring surf—with DetectorPro Black Widow Headphones. Engineered for high-volume performance and superior passive sound isolation, these professional-grade headphones feature extended full-ear muffs that reduce surrounding noise by up to 29 dB.
Independent left and right volume controls allow users to balance the audio for each ear, while two selector switches provide detector compatibility and optional signal limiting. The waterproof 1/8-inch stereo connector is designed for direct connection to compatible Minelab EQUINOX and MANTICORE metal detectors.

Benefits
Hear More in Noisy Environments
The extended earcups provide up to 29 dB of passive ambient-noise reduction, helping important detector tones stand out around surf, traffic, crowds, and machinery.
Customize the Volume for Each Ear
Separate left and right volume controls make it easy to compensate for unequal hearing while maintaining a comfortable listening level.
Capture Faint Target Responses
High-output speakers reproduce the audio frequencies used by metal detectors, helping you recognize subtle signals that may indicate deep or small targets.
Direct Minelab Connection
The waterproof 1/8-inch stereo plug connects directly to compatible Minelab EQUINOX and MANTICORE detectors without a separate adapter.

Important Volume Warning
Black Widow headphones can produce extremely high volume levels. Begin with both headphone volume controls at their lowest setting. Set the detector volume to maximum, then slowly increase the headphone volume until a safe and comfortable listening level is reached. Excessive headphone volume may cause permanent hearing damage.
Water-Resistance Notice
The 1/8-inch connector is designed to provide a waterproof connection with compatible Minelab detectors. The headphones themselves are not waterproof or submersible and must remain dry. Use fully waterproof headphones when detecting underwater.
Black Widow is engineered for detectorists with challenged hearing and for hunting environments with high ambient noise levels.
Black Widow headphones were designed to accommodate the professional detectorist with special hearing requirements and for environments with high ambient noise levels. Large extended muffs are designed to block ambient noise to a higher degree for huntsites in proximity to urban traffic and surf roar. The Black Widow contains a dual mini-toggle switching system like our famous Gray Ghost Ultimate. One switch provides greater compatibility with detector audio systems and the other switch allows signal limitation when extreme volume is not required. Also provided are two independent volume controls for those detectorists with unequal hearing ability in each ear. You still get our “industry first” quality components, design and construction without compromise. Black Widows are “deadly”, but guaranteed not to “Sting” you!
CAUTION: The significant volume output of the Black Widow compared to our main line of headphones requires us to warn the consumer of potential eardrum damage if detector signal is not regulated to tolerant levels. Without the limiting circuit engaged, we recommend starting with a minimal headphone volume control setting with detector volume at maximum, then gradually increase headphone volume controls as needed and tolerated.
