XP WSA ST Wireless Stereo Headphones

The XP WSA ST Wireless Stereo Headphones bring XP's latest stereo audio technology to the DEUS II, ICON, ICON X, and compatible WS6 Master systems in an incredibly lightweight and compact design.

Weighing only 72 grams / 2.5 oz, the WSA ST combines stereo audio, ultra-fast XP wireless communication, a 4-band equalizer, USB-C charging, rainproof construction, and a foldable behind-the-head design that's built for long days of detecting.

Unlike conventional Bluetooth headphones, the WSA ST uses XP's proprietary wireless protocol specifically designed for metal detecting. XP states its wireless transmission is approximately 10 times faster than low-latency Bluetooth, helping provide immediate target response and more precise target localization.

Wireless Stereo Audio

The WSA ST is part of XP's newest generation of stereo detecting headphones.

Combined with compatible XP detectors and current firmware, the WSA ST takes advantage of XP's advanced stereo audio processing, providing greater spatial and tonal information than XP's previous mono wireless headphones.

For DEUS II users, the WSA ST supports XP's latest Stereo Multi-Processing and Audio Morphing technologies available through the current DEUS II software platform.

Ultra-Fast XP Wireless Technology

The WSA ST does not rely on conventional Bluetooth for detector communication.

Instead, XP uses its own proprietary wireless radio protocol engineered specifically for detecting.

XP states that this communication system is approximately 10 times faster than low-latency Bluetooth.

That extremely fast communication helps minimize the delay between passing the search coil over a target and hearing the target response through the headphones.

For detectorists, that can mean more accurate target positioning and a more natural connection between coil movement and target audio.

4-Band Equalizer

The WSA ST includes an adjustable 4-band audio equalizer, allowing you to tailor the sound to your hearing preferences.

The equalizer can be adjusted through the compatible XP Remote Control or WS6/WS6 ST Master.

This can be particularly useful for emphasizing or reducing specific portions of the detector's audio spectrum based on your hearing and preferred detecting style.

Adjustable Volume

The WSA ST provides 10 adjustable volume levels.

Volume can be controlled either directly through the WSA ST's + / – buttons or through the compatible XP controller.

This allows you to quickly adjust audio without interrupting your hunt.

Automatic Power Control

Once paired with a compatible XP controller, the WSA ST can automatically turn on and off with the detecting system.

If the headphones are switched on but no compatible master device is detected, the WSA ST automatically shuts down after approximately 5 minutes to conserve battery power.

USB-C Fast Charging

The WSA ST uses modern USB-C charging, eliminating the older charging connection used on some previous XP accessories.

Charging Features

• USB-C charging

• Approximately 2-hour fast charge

• Rechargeable lithium battery

• LED battery-level indication

• Automatic power management

The LED system provides a quick indication of remaining battery level when the headphones are powered on.

Extremely Lightweight – Only 72 Grams

One of the biggest advantages of the WSA ST is weight.

At approximately 72 grams / 2.5 oz, the WSA ST is dramatically lighter than conventional full-size over-ear detecting headphones.

This makes them particularly comfortable during long detecting sessions and helps maintain the extremely lightweight feel of XP's wireless detector platforms.

Foldable Backphone Design

The WSA ST uses XP's compact behind-the-head backphone design.

The headphones are:

• Foldable

• Compact

• Lightweight

• Ergonomic

• Easy to transport

• Designed for extended detecting sessions

The design also works well with hats and other headwear commonly worn while detecting.

Detachable Electronic Module

The WSA ST electronic module can be separated from the backphone frame.

This modular construction means that if the physical headphone frame becomes worn or damaged, the frame can be replaced without necessarily replacing the entire electronic module.

An optional XP Clip Jack adapter can also be used with the detachable module to connect compatible wired headphones.

Fully Rainproof

The WSA ST is designed for real-world outdoor detecting conditions and is fully rainproof.

This makes it suitable for detecting in rain, damp environments, wet grass, beaches, and changing weather conditions.

Important: The WSA ST is rainproof but is not designed for submerged underwater use.

For underwater detecting, use the appropriate XP underwater headphone system for your detector.

XP WSA ST Compatibility

The WSA ST is designed for XP's current FMF detector ecosystem.

Compatible With XP DEUS II

The WSA ST can pair directly with the:

• XP DEUS II Remote Control

With current compatible DEUS II firmware, the WSA ST supports XP's advanced stereo audio features including Stereo Multi-Processing and Audio Morphing.

Compatible With XP ICON

The WSA ST can pair directly with the:

• XP ICON Remote Control

• XP ICON metal detector packages using the ICON Remote Control

This makes the WSA ST an excellent wireless headphone upgrade for ICON packages originally purchased without headphones.

This provides ICON X users with lightweight wireless stereo audio without adding the bulk of conventional headphones.

Compatible With WS6 Master

The WSA ST can also be used when an:

• XP WS6 is operating in Master mode

In this configuration, the WS6 controls the detector and search coil while the WSA ST provides wireless audio.

Compatible With WS6 ST Master

The WSA ST is also compatible when an:

• XP WS6 ST is operating in Master mode

The WS6 ST acts as the detector controller while the WSA ST provides wireless stereo audio.

This is an excellent lightweight configuration because the WS6 ST can be mounted on the detector stem while the WSA ST provides comfortable wireless audio.
