XP ICON & ICON-X Remote Control Headphone Jack Adapter
Use your favorite wired headphones with the XP ICON or XP ICON-X remote control. This genuine XP adapter connects to the remote and provides a standard 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) female headphone jack.
It is a simple solution for detectorists who prefer wired audio or want a dependable backup when their wireless headphones are not available or need charging.
Genuine XP Accessory Factory-compatible fit for the ICON series
3.5 mm Output Connect standard wired detecting headphones
ICON & ICON-X Works with both remote controls
Easy Backup Audio: Keep detecting without wireless headphones
The XP ICON and ICON-X Remote Control Headphone Jack Adapter converts the remote control’s multi-point connection into a standard 3.5 mm headphone socket. Attach the adapter to the back of the remote, connect compatible wired headphones, and listen to detector audio without using XP wireless headphones.
This adapter is especially useful for detectorists who already own a favorite set of wired headphones, prefer the feel of a corded setup, or want an inexpensive backup stored in their detecting bag.
Why Carry the XP ICON Headphone Adapter?
Use Your Preferred Wired Headphones
Connect compatible wired headphones or earbuds equipped with a standard 3.5 mm plug. This gives you another audio choice beyond XP’s wireless headphone options.
Backup When Batteries Run Low
If your wireless headphones need charging, the adapter lets you continue hunting with wired headphones rather than ending the hunt early.
Secure Remote-Control Connection
The adapter is designed to connect directly to the XP ICON or ICON-X remote control’s multi-point port for a stable factory-compatible fit.
Small and Easy to Carry
Keep it in your backpack, pouch, vehicle, or accessory kit so a wired audio option is always available when you need it.
