turtle beach head phones

[oadamo]

hi i have a some turtle beach headphones that i dont use anymore, i was thinking of adding an on board battery and seeing what its like with them.
has anyone done this what is it like. when i use them on the ps3 i can hear a lot more then without them. i was just thinking i might be able to hear tones that other headphones cant hear to get a bit more depth.

A year ago had an idea, was that the wireless X31's might be a good headset for metal detectors. Didn't want to spend $100 for another set, an option was searching ebay. After several weeks of searching, a listing appeared for a set at $10.50. It was listed as having one problem, microphone was broken off, otherwise functioned perfectly. I was surprised to get it at $10.50 plus shipping.

When it arrived set it up on my Xbox and it did indeed work perfectly. Finally had some time and the parts and started to modify them. Since the TX works off USB port power, built a small voltage regulator that transforms a 9 volt battery into 5 volt. Then signal input wires and attached a 1/4" plug to fit into the metal detector headphone jack.

Attached a 9 volt battery and plugged the input plug into the detector. I used my Fisher ID Edge to test,. Powered everything up and it works.

Didn't see much of any lag time during my bench testing. Between the sensitivity control on the TX and the headset you have a varity of tonal set ups you can use. In all metal mode you can get it set to sound just like a Surfmaster PI, set it up with just some feedback on coins targets below 5" and sound normal at deeper depths. Also found a bass boost setting where in all metal mode you can get a thump on deep coins that you can feel. Interesting unlike anything I ever used. There was no feedback, EMI RF problems mounting the TX on the detectors control housing.
