Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones for Z-Lynk-Enabled Detectors

The Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones are wireless over-ear headphones built for Garrett metal detectors with integrated Z-Lynk technology. The MS-3 delivers 17-millisecond audio delay (six times faster than Bluetooth) and up to 30 hours of runtime on a single charge. Garrett detector owners who hunt extended sessions in parks, fields, or beaches gain freedom from cord snags and the ability to hear faint target signals without external noise interference. The MS-3 requires a detector with built-in Z-Lynk (Vortex VX5, VX7, VX9, Axiom, ACE Apex, AT Max) or the separate WT-1 transmitter module for detectors with 1/4-inch or 2-pin jacks.

What's Included with the Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk Headphones

• Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones with built-in receiver
• USB charging cable

Why Garrett Detector Owners Reach for the MS-3 Z-Lynk

• Near-zero audio lag: 17-millisecond delay ensures you hear target signals the instant your coil passes over metal, critical for fast-sweep coverage in trashy sites where Bluetooth's 100-millisecond lag would mask secondary tones.
• 30-hour battery life: A single charge supports multiple all-day hunts without mid-session recharging, and the headphones auto-power off after 60 minutes of non-use to conserve battery when you take breaks.
• IP52 rain protection: Light rain and dust won't stop a hunt; the MS-3 withstands moisture exposure common in outdoor detecting (not submersible).
• Adjustable volume control: Dial signal levels to suit your hearing and amplify weak targets without adjusting the detector's master volume, preserving your discrimination settings.
• Folds for transport: Collapsible design fits in a backpack or detector bag without the bulk of rigid headphones. Detectorists running the Garrett Vortex series or Axiom pair the MS-3 with those detectors' native Z-Lynk output for instant wireless connection.

Padded Earcup Comfort on Multi-Hour Hunts

The MS-3 uses cushioned over-ear pads and an adjustable headband to distribute weight evenly across extended wear periods. At 5.4 ounces the headphones sit lighter than many wired models, reducing neck fatigue during four-hour or longer sessions. The 8-ohm speaker impedance and 30-18,000 Hz frequency response preserve the full tonal range of Garrett's audio engine, so you hear the difference between iron falsing and a coin edge-on in mineralized soil. The 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping transmission prevents crosstalk when multiple detectorists with Z-Lynk headphones hunt the same site. Proudly manufactured in the USA at Garrett's Garland, Texas facility, the MS-3 is built to the same quality standards as Garrett's flagship detectors.

• Best for: Garrett detector owners with Z-Lynk-enabled machines (Vortex VX5/VX7/VX9, Axiom, ACE Apex, AT Max) who want cord-free operation and long battery life.
• Requires transmitter for: Older Garrett models with 1/4-inch or 2-pin jacks (AT Gold, AT Pro, Infinium LS, SeaHunter Mark II, ATX). The WT-1 transmitter module is sold separately or bundled in the MS-3 kit (SKU 1627720).
