middleforkminer2 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Does anybody know if the external speaker works under water or do you need the waterproof speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the built-in speaker makes sounds underwater, it does not have to be covered to be submerged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Minelab in an email and they said unless the jack was plugged in, water would probably ground out the speaker while submerged... it seemed like more of a “maybe” answer to me...I’m about halfway to being able to plunk down enough cash for the detector, 6” coil and the waterproof headphones, so I guess I’ll find out later this spring/summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSilicate Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Sorry don't know. I never put mine in water. I have the Gray Ghost Amphibian headphones on the 800 and really like them. Never intended to submerge them just wanted the comfort and volume control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I wrote “it does not have to be covered” I meant the speaker only. Covering the jack hole to prevent water from hitting the jack connectors before submersion is a very good point!
