iPhone Headphones on GPX4500

Dignit · Sep 20, 2016

I'm not so technical and wondering if I can use my iPhone 6 headphone ear buds via an adapter on my GPX4500?
Also, I read somewhere on the Forum that by using headphones you loose a bit of signal and a loud speaker is the purest output. Is this correct, and given you have to listen through ambient noise with a loud speaker (wind and crackling leaves/twigs) is it a real difference you can hear?
Thanks for your help.

I prefer ext speaker as i would like to hear if someone or something is approaching. Same goes for someone calling for help. I'd like to hear them.

I've used my iPhone headphones in conjunction with an amplifier on my Eureka Gold. Works great.

Thanks all. Gave the iPhone ear buds a go at home tonight and they worked fine. Let in more ambient room noise compared to the Koss UB30 over ear headphones, but this is to be expected. I'll use these on a sunny day so I can wear a wide brim hat. I burn easily and need the hat. Cheers

I wear the earphones with the Funnel Web hat. It's not a very nice hat but it does have a full brim and an inner cover for the ears and back on the neck.
