Thanks man! I spent an hour trying to figure this out reading the manual. You don’t even need the wm08 module, unless you want to plug them in. Who knows maybe I missed a paragraph? Thanks again

Glad I found your channel. As a former Garrett AT Pro user, your videos have helped me tremendously since switching to the Minelab Equinox 800. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Thank you. I will be going live Friday at 5pm pacific time talking about the equinox

[@dermotgillespie5138]

To keep your headphones automatically paired every time you turn on your detector is do not turn off the bluetooth on the detector , just turn off the detector as normal without turning off the bluetooth, by keeping on the bluetooth your headphones will pair straight away 😁

[@DIGOLOGIST]

Thanks Larry. This video was a big help. I'm late in the game with buying the Nox. The AT max has served me so well, but I wanted something that would perform better on the beach.

Another greater video Larry. I just received my 800 and was wondering how the module fits is used. Wasn't it supposed to be a little better than Bluetooth aptx LL?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

That is for corded headphones in case you don't want to use the Bluetooth headset for some reason.

[@jameskim62]

Why Samsung Galaxy 10 is not Bluetooth pairing with ML80/Minelab Equinox 800 ???????

[@ethanguidry312]

How do you know when the headset is fully chargerd

[@goldsmith001]

I believe when all three charging lights located on the headphones turn off. I just got mine yesterday so I might be wrong about that.

[@healingmindbodysoul]

great video ...BUT ....how do we answere the call and dinish the call when on headphones ?????

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

When the call comes in you will hear it ring in your headphones and then all you need to do is answer the call and you will hear the party through your headphones and you will speak as though you were talking on speakerphone but the call will only be audible to you.

[@AdventuresInMetalDetecting]

I for one go detecting to get away from phone calls. Now if I can record the audio from the detector onto my cell phone while using it to shoot a detecting video... then I might be interested. Thanks for the video though!

[@fellanice]

That may be possible with the WM08, but you may need to tell the phone that the nox is a media source.

[@MikeMakowski-jm8vt]

How do you answer the phone with the headphones? Do you need to push a button on the headphones or phone?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

I use the phone, I don't think you can answer with the headset

[@SeattleRingHunter]

Technically your can pair the headphones to both the NOX and an iPhone and it wall allow an incoming call to come thought too the cans. However it horrible in switching audio between the two devices. Is there a special button press on the NOX headphone buttons to seamlessly change between NOX and iPhone. Apparently with my testing there is a microphone built into the headphones. Not surprising as these are rebranded Bose noise canceling headphones from about fifteen years ago! Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

[@sandylou494]

You didn’t say HOW to answer your phone through the headphones. What button do I push?

[@Runestone54]

Is there a mic in headphones?

[@SeattleRingHunter]

Yes there is a mic inside the ML80 headphones. They appear to be rebranded Bose noise canceling headphones from fifteen years ago, damn near very close to the same design at least.

[@rockmon7]

So when receiving a call while paired and using headphones, do the headphones have a mic so I can talk hands free?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

I don't believe so. I have always answered it and can listen through the headphones but talked into the phone.

[@fellanice]

I'd like to pair the phone to the equinox, and then the headphones to the phone so I can modify the audio to fit my hearing loss profile. I've managed to get the phone paired, and I can verify that there's audio input, but can't output audio from the phone to the headphones.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Are you saying you are not able to receive calls through your headphones?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

You can only pair your phone to the headphones not to the nox itself

[@fellanice]

@@SodBustersMetalDetecting No. I'm hearing impaired. I rarely speak on the phone.

The Iphone is not connecting even though we do see the ml80. Is it possible the phone is too old a version?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

I wouldn't think so, be sure the phone and headphones are within a few feet of each other if that doesn't work you can call minelab usa and see what the issue may be. I hope you get it resolved soon.

[@SeattleRingHunter]

Pull down from the top of the iPhone screen to access the audio menu and then select the ML80 as your audio source. Its kind of a bad situation on iPhone so don't expect stellar results. The two devices don't hand off to each other seamlessly at least my current experience as of this writing. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

I had mine paired when I unboxed it used it for a brief time, then charged everything before I saw a previous video you did about holding the Power button to get the Factory "FP" now I can't get them to pair again? The lights on the headphones keep flashing along with the BT symbol on the 800? Not sure why it was doing this now that I'm done typing this message it finally paired? About 4 minutes passed. Strange.
