Choose from eight XP ICON and ICON-X configurations:
each model is offered without headphones, with WSA-ST compact wireless
stereo headphones, with WSA-XL ST full-size wireless stereo headphones,
or as an Adventure Pack.
Every configuration includes an 11-inch XP FMF search coil.
The XP ICON and XP ICON-X are lightweight, wireless,
simultaneous multi-frequency metal detectors designed to deliver XP performance
with simpler controls and a more accessible price than the DEUS II.
Both models use XP’s FMF® Fast Multi Frequency technology
for detecting in parks, fields, old home sites, beaches, wooded areas,
relic sites, and changing ground conditions.
They are designed and manufactured in France and work with supported
components from the XP wireless ecosystem.
⭐ XP ICON Ranked #2 in My 2026 Budget Detector Guide
I ranked the XP ICON and ICON-X #2 because they offer
an incredible amount of XP FMF performance for the money.
In my experience, the ICON can run with much more expensive detectors
while giving you a menu that is considerably easier to navigate,
set up, and use than the original XP DEUS II.

Bart’s Take: Which XP ICON Should You Buy?
Choose the regular ICON if you want a simple,
lightweight detector that is easy to learn.
It gives you core XP FMF performance without loading the menu
with adjustments you may never use.
Choose the ICON-X if you want more factory programs,
more saved user programs, finer discrimination adjustment,
more reactivity choices, and the added 28 kHz single-frequency option.
Choose a WSA-ST package if you want compact
stereo headphones that fold easily for travel and storage.
Choose a WSA-XL ST package if you prefer
full-size wireless stereo headphones and a larger headphone design.
Choose an Adventure Pack if you want
WSA-XL ST headphones, the XP MI-6 pinpointer,
XP 240 Backpack, and XP Pouch with your detector.
Choose a detector-only package if you plan to use
the remote speaker or already own compatible XP wireless headphones.

Six XP ICON-X Factory Search Programs
The XP ICON-X includes six factory search programs
designed for different sites and detecting styles.
The regular XP ICON includes three factory programs,
while the ICON-X provides six factory programs
and six customizable user-program slots.
Wet Beach
For searching damp, mineralized beach sand.
Beach and Surf
For saltwater wading, surf zones, and submerged hunting
with the appropriate underwater equipment.
Forest
For woodland detecting and searching less-disturbed ground.
Park
For public areas where coins and jewelry may be mixed with modern trash.
Field
For searching open pasture and agricultural land.
Trashy Field
For working through iron and other debris with faster target response.
Need the ICON-X Controller by Itself?
Already own compatible XP equipment?
The XP ICON-X wireless controller only offers
the ICON-X programs and expanded controls without purchasing
a complete detector package.
Contact Bart to confirm compatibility with your coil,
stem, and headphones before ordering.

FMF® Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Performance
Both XP ICON models use FMF® Fast Multi-Frequency technology.
The detector processes multiple frequencies simultaneously,
helping it respond to a range of target sizes and conductivities.
Choose the appropriate program and settings for your site,
ground conditions, and detecting goals.
This makes the ICON family a versatile choice for coin hunting,
jewelry hunting, relic hunting, and beach detecting.
Fast Target Separation in Iron
Adjustable reactivity helps you manage closely spaced targets.
Higher reactivity can help separate non-ferrous targets from nearby nails
and other iron, while lower settings can favor depth in cleaner ground.
Coil speed, target position, soil conditions, and your settings
all affect the result.
The ICON-X offers seven reactivity levels and finer ferrous
discrimination adjustment, giving you more control when working difficult sites.
XP ICON & ICON-X Bottle Cap Filter Setup Guide
Wondering how the XP ICON and ICON-X handle troublesome steel bottle caps?
I tested the feature myself and put together
a step-by-step guide showing how the Notch system works,
what to watch for on the conductivity bar, and when I recommend
trying settings around 10, 10–15, or 10–20.
See Bart’s XP ICON & ICON-X Bottle Cap Filter Guide →
Wireless XP Audio with WSA-ST or WSA-XL ST Headphones
The coil, remote control, and compatible XP headphones communicate
through XP’s proprietary wireless system.
This removes the cable between the search coil and control box
and provides fast wireless target audio.
The two WSA-ST configurations include
compact, foldable wireless stereo headphones.
The two standard WSA-XL ST configurations
and both Adventure Packs include
full-size wireless stereo headphones.
The two detector-only configurations can be used through the remote
control speaker or paired with compatible XP wireless headphones.
Available audio features include PWM and Square audio profiles,
Stereo Audio Morphing, Pitch, 2 tones, 3 tones, 5 tones, and Full Tones.
XP MI-6 Connected Pinpointer in the Adventure Packs
Both Adventure Packs include the XP MI-6 connected pinpointer.
The MI-6 helps locate a target after you open the hole or remove a plug,
making target recovery more precise.
When connected to a compatible XP detector, the MI-6 can use
the detector’s wireless audio system and provide access
to additional pinpointer settings through the remote control.
XP 240 Backpack and XP Pouch
Both Adventure Packs include an XP 240 Backpack
for carrying and organizing your detector and equipment
while traveling to a site or walking longer distances.
The included XP Pouch gives you a place
to carry recovered coins, jewelry, relics, trash,
and small detecting tools while you hunt.
Ultra-Lightweight, Telescopic Design
The telescopic stem folds to approximately 58 centimeters
and extends to approximately 130 centimeters
for transport and adjustment.
The ICON uses XP’s S-Telescopic Lite stem,
while the ICON-X uses a version with a carbon middle section.
Both allow the remote control to be removed from the stem
to reduce the weight you are swinging.
Waterproof for Beaches and Shallow Water
The XP ICON and ICON-X can be configured for underwater use
down to approximately 5 meters / 16 feet
with the required underwater equipment.
Important underwater note:
Full underwater use requires the appropriate underwater audio equipment,
such as XP’s optional BH-02 bone-conduction headphones,
and the proper underwater waveguide setup.
Standard WSA-ST and WSA-XL ST wireless headphones
should not be used as underwater headphones.
Planning to detect submerged? Contact Bart before purchasing
so we can help you confirm the correct equipment for your setup.
Expandable XP Wireless Ecosystem
The ICON range works with supported components from XP’s wireless ecosystem,
allowing you to expand or customize your detector over time.
Compatible options include:
- Supported XP DEUS II FMF search coils.
- XP HF2 high-frequency FMF coil.
- XP MI-6 connected pinpointer.
- Compatible XP wireless headphones.
- XP Go Terrain smartphone app.
- Optional BH-02 underwater bone-conduction headphones.
Contact Bart to confirm compatibility if you are combining
existing equipment with a new controller, coil, or headphones.
