[QUOTE="Ironman, post: 380032, member: 11625"] I don't use headphones and have a booster/speaker combo. I have only ever swung my detector in very remote locations and it is generally very hot/humid. I chose not to use headphones purely so that I was also aware of the noises around me. Things like snakes, pigs, buffalo, etc are very common. Heck, there's probably even a few sasquatch wandering about out here......Using the speaker allows me to also be aware of what is going on around me - for my safety. As most have said already, there are pro's and con's for each and it all comes down to user/personal preference, plus the confidence you have in the gear that you are using. I'm definitely not an expert on locating or extracting the right stuff from under my feet but I am confident with the setup that I have and I know I'll eventually find what I'm looking for. [/QUOTE]
