Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphone and Transmitter Kit
The Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphone and Transmitter Kit takes almost any metal detector wireless. The MS-3 headphones have a Z-Lynk receiver built into the cup, and the kit adds a Z-Lynk WT-1 transmitter plus both connector cables, so it works with a 1/4 inch headphone jack or a Garrett 2-pin AT port on VLF and pulse detectors alike.
Z-Lynk runs on a 2.4 GHz frequency hopping link with a 17 millisecond audio delay, about 6 times faster than Bluetooth. You hear the target signal while the coil is still over the target. Frequency hopping keeps several headsets from crossing audio when detectorists hunt close together.
The MS-3 headphones deliver 8 ohm high-fidelity audio across a 30 to 18,000 Hz range, run up to 30 hours on a charge and fold down for storage. Compatible detectors include the Garrett AT Pro, AT Gold, ACE 300, ACE 400, ATX, Sea Hunter Mark II and Infinium LS. The modules also pair with wireless-ready models like the AT Max. GeoWork Supply ships the kit complete and ready to charge.

Features
Works with Almost Any Detector
Both connector cables come in the box, a 2-pin AT cable and a 1/4 inch jack cable, so the kit pairs with VLF and pulse detectors from most brands. The Garrett AT Pro uses the 2-pin cable while ACE 300 and ACE 400 use the 1/4 inch cable.

17 ms Near-Zero Delay
Z-Lynk audio reaches the headphones in 17 milliseconds, about 6 times faster than Bluetooth. The signal arrives while the coil is still over the target, so pinpointing stays sharp.

Built-In Receiver and 30 Hour Battery
The Z-Lynk receiver is built into the MS-3 cup, so there is no separate receiver to clip on. The headphones run up to 30 hours on a charge and recharge in about 5 hours over USB.

High-Fidelity Audio That Folds for Travel
An 8 ohm speaker covers a 30 to 18,000 Hz range for clear target tones, and a comfortable headband with cushioned cups suits long hunts. The MS-3 folds down so it packs flat in a bag.

IP52 Rain Resistant
An IP52 rating protects the MS-3 against light rain so a passing shower will not end the hunt. The headphones are not submersible. An auto power off after 60 minutes of non-use saves the battery.

FAQ
Q: What detectors does the MS-3 kit work with?
A: Almost any detector with a 1/4 inch headphone jack or a Garrett 2-pin AT port, on both VLF and pulse machines. The 2-pin cable fits the AT Pro and AT Gold while the 1/4 inch cable fits ACE 300, ACE 400 and most other detectors.
Q: Is the receiver separate?
A: No. The Z-Lynk receiver is built into the MS-3 headphone cup, so you only clip the WT-1 transmitter to the detector and pair the two.
Q: How long does a charge last?
A: The MS-3 runs up to 30 hours per charge and recharges in about 5 hours over USB. An auto power off after 60 minutes of non-use protects the battery.
Q: How fast is the audio?
A: Z-Lynk delivers audio in 17 milliseconds, about 6 times faster than Bluetooth, so you hear targets in real time as the coil passes over them.
Q: Are the MS-3 headphones waterproof?
A: They carry an IP52 rating that protects against light rain, but they are not submersible.
