4.1. On Land Use

When using the BH-01 headphones on land, their bone conduction design allows you to hear the metal detector's signals clearly while remaining aware of your surrounding environment. This is particularly beneficial for safety in busy or natural settings.

• Position the transducers firmly on your cheekbones, just in front of your ears.
• Adjust the fit for comfort and secure placement.
• In noisy or windy conditions, you may opt to use earplugs (not included) to further isolate the metal detector's audio and enhance focus.
