    The headphones are fixed to the unit and the foam pads of the headphones arrived loose and one was completely off the earpiece! Also gets heavy quickly feels like a dinosaur and the signal only goes about 3-4" deep

    My Grandsons and I were really excited to use this. It was a birthday gift. The main metal plate is held on by 2 small plastic clips,...the metal plate is far too heavy for these clips and they BOTH snapped the first time we took the metal detector out. They are probably the ONLY thing on the entire detector that cannot be fixed without replacing the entire unit. Extreme poor engineering when into this....being the plate is supported by these plastic clips the entire time you are using the detector, they need to be strong. (Not plastic!) I immediately wrote to Best Buy and the manufacturer, Barska, and to date, neither has taken the time to respond. I did want to give both an opportunity to resolve this, so I could add any resolution to my review, and rate accordingly. It has, however, been 6 months. It is useless, and literal garbage without the plate.

    So far, detector has been good, but is fairly heavy to carry with one arm and ear pads on headphones slip off easily. Also, it would be nice to unhook heads phones from main tool.
