XP - WS6ST - Stereo Headphones (Deus 2/ WS6 Master)
XP - WS6 ST - Wireless Stereo Headphones: The XP WS6 ST Wireless Stereo Headphones are much more than a traditional set of wireless metal detecting headphones. Designed for the XP wireless ecosystem, the WS6 ST combines high-quality stereo audio, an integrated control module, Target ID display, detector controls, MI-6 connectivity, and the ability to operate as a standalone master controller for a compatible XP search coil. The removable WS6 ST module can be used with the headphones, removed and mounted on the detector stem, or used as the primary controller in an ultra-lightweight detector configuration. For DEUS II users who want maximum versatility from their wireless audio system, the WS6 ST provides both advanced stereo audio and detector control in one compact package. More Than Wireless Headphones Unlike conventional wireless headphones that simply receive target audio, the WS6 ST contains its own control interface and display. When paired with a compatible XP search coil, the WS6 ST can operate without the full DEUS II Remote Control. This allows the WS6 ST to serve two completely different purposes: Wireless stereo headphones when used with the DEUS II Remote Control A standalone detector controller when used in WS6 ST Master mode This modular design allows you to configure your XP detector around the type of hunting you're doing. Three Ways to Use the WS6 ST XP designed the WS6 ST around three primary configurations. 1. WS6 ST + DEUS II Remote Control When used with the full DEUS II Remote Control, the Remote acts as the master controller. The Remote controls the search coil, detector programs, and settings while the WS6 ST functions as your wireless stereo headphones. This configuration gives you the full DEUS II Remote interface combined with XP's advanced stereo audio. 2. WS6 ST Master + Additional Headphones The WS6 ST can become the master detector controller, communicating directly with the search coil without requiring the DEUS II Remote Control. The WS6 ST module can be removed from the headphone frame and carried or mounted where its display and controls are easy to access. Compatible XP wireless headphones can then provide your audio. This creates an extremely lightweight detector while retaining access to Target ID and detector settings. 3. WS6 ST Master – Ultra-Light Configuration For the simplest and lightest configuration, the WS6 ST module remains attached directly to its backphone frame. The WS6 ST communicates directly with the search coil and provides both your detector controls and target audio. No DEUS II Remote Control is required. This creates one of the lightest possible configurations of the DEUS II platform. Removable WS6 ST Control Module The heart of the WS6 ST is its removable electronic control module. The module features its own 64 x 64 pixel display, allowing you to view Target ID and detector information without using the full DEUS II Remote Control. The module can be unclipped from the backphones and mounted separately when desired. Control Module Features 64 x 64 pixel display Accurate Target ID Built-in detector controls Search coil battery indication Headphone battery indication 10 search coil memory slots MI-6 wireless pinpointer connectivity Rechargeable lithium battery USB-C charging Wireless XP communication Stereo Audio The ST in WS6 ST represents an important evolution of XP's wireless audio system: stereo sound. The newer WS6 ST electronics support XP's latest stereo audio processing and advanced audio features available through the current DEUS II ecosystem. This provides detectorists with a more immersive and detailed audio experience while retaining XP's extremely fast proprietary wireless communication. Ultra-Fast XP Wireless Technology The WS6 ST communicates through XP's proprietary wireless radio protocol rather than conventional Bluetooth. Fast wireless communication is particularly important in metal detecting because delays between the search coil passing over a target and the audio response can make precise target location more difficult. The XP wireless architecture is designed to maintain extremely responsive target audio while eliminating conventional headphone cables. MI-6 Wireless Pinpointer Integration The WS6 ST provides wireless connectivity with the XP MI-6 Pinpointer. When properly paired, the MI-6 becomes part of the XP wireless ecosystem, allowing pinpointer information and audio to be integrated with your detecting setup. This creates a streamlined system without requiring you to remove your headphones every time you recover a target. 15-Hour Battery Life The WS6 ST uses an internal rechargeable lithium battery capable of providing approximately 15 hours of operation. That provides enough runtime for long detecting sessions without requiring disposable batteries. Battery & Charging Rechargeable lithium battery Approximately 15 hours of battery life USB-C charging Fast charging in less than 3 hours Headphone battery-level display Search coil battery-level display Extremely Lightweight The complete WS6 ST weighs approximately 82 grams / 2.9 oz. Its lightweight backphone-style design minimizes the bulk associated with conventional over-ear detecting headphones and is particularly well suited for long detecting sessions. Foldable & Ergonomic Design The WS6 ST uses XP's lightweight behind-the-head backphone design. The headphones are: Foldable Compact Lightweight Ergonomic Easy to transport Designed for extended detecting sessions The backphone frame is also replaceable, allowing worn components to be replaced without replacing the entire electronic module. Weatherproof Construction The WS6 ST is designed to handle normal outdoor detecting conditions and is weatherproof. This makes it suitable for detecting in changing weather and damp environments. Important: The WS6 ST is not designed as a diving or fully submerged underwater headphone system. Use XP's appropriate underwater audio equipment when detecting fully submerged.

WS6 ST The WS6 ST includes: Display Target ID Detector controls Search coil control capability MI-6 connectivity 10 coil memory slots Stereo audio Removable control module The WS6 ST can actually serve as the master controller for the detector. WSA ST The WSA ST is primarily a lightweight wireless stereo audio headset. It does not replace the detector's primary controller in the same way the WS6 ST can. If you want the most capable lightweight XP headphone/control system, the WS6 ST is the more advanced option. Lightweight Control Without the Full Remote The biggest advantage of the XP WS6 ST is flexibility. Use it with your DEUS II Remote Control and you have advanced wireless stereo headphones. Leave the Remote Control behind and the WS6 ST can communicate directly with the search coil, giving you an exceptionally lightweight detecting configuration with its own display, Target ID, and controls. Remove the module from the headphone frame and you can position the control display separately while using another compatible audio solution. It's a modular approach that allows you to configure your detector around the hunt rather than being locked into one setup. Stereo audio. Integrated Target ID. Detector controls. MI-6 connectivity. 15-hour battery life. At only 82 grams, the XP WS6 ST packs an impressive amount of technology into one lightweight wireless headset. Compatible XP Products The XP WS6 ST Wireless Stereo Headphones are designed around XP's advanced FMF detector ecosystem and can function as both wireless headphones and, in compatible configurations, a standalone detector controller. Compatible With XP DEUS II XP DEUS II Remote Control XP WS6 Master configurations XP 9" / 22.5 cm FMF Search Coil XP 11" / 28 cm FMF Search Coil XP 13" x 11" / 34 x 28 cm FMF Search Coil XP HF2 High-Frequency Elliptical FMF Search Coil XP MI-6 Wireless Pinpointer XP WSA ST Wireless Headphones when the WS6 ST is being used as the master controller XP WSA-XL ST Wireless Headphones when the WS6 ST is being used as the master controller DEUS II Integration When paired with the XP DEUS II Remote Control, the Remote Control operates the detector while the WS6 ST provides wireless stereo target audio. Remove the DEUS II Remote Control and the WS6 ST can become the detector's master controller, communicating directly with a compatible XP FMF search coil and providing Target ID, detector settings, and target audio. This makes the WS6 ST one of the most versatile components in the XP DEUS II ecosystem. Note: The WS6 ST should not be confused with the WSA ST. The WS6 ST contains its own display and detector controls and can operate as a master controller in compatible configurations, while the WSA ST is primarily a wireless stereo audio headset.
