no one has headphones?

[b smith]

I asked the question in three different forums about the sound quality of a gps to play music ( I have

a lowrance hunt ) and was thinking of buying the adapter for the headphones but if its not good sound

why bother, any input would be appreciated.

thanks

I think the problem might be that you are one of 11 people in the US that has a Lowrance GPS.

 

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you.

thats not right.

I've seen your question asked in two of those forums. I just don't think that any of the five* of us have tried them. It probably works fine and the only thing I'd be concerned about would be the waterproofiness** of the receiver in the wild. In looking at it on REI, it looks like you can plug any set of headphones into the adapter (I don't know this for sure -- it just looks that way), so I'd guess you wouldn't have to pony up for the $18 REI headphones.

 

My only suggestion is to eat the cost of an adapter and try it out.

 

*Not all Lowrances have music playing capability. I think there are six people that own those.

 

**Use simple terms because some of the Garmin guys might be reading.

In my opinion stumbling around while staring at a GPS screen is dangerous enough without the added distraction of headphones. Just can't see it...

Getting in your uneducated post of the day?

Just a little bit of hyperbole to explain why the OP might not be getting an answer. The Lowrance GPS is not a widely used unit in comparison to the Garmin and Magellan units so the answer may take some time coming. Sorry if I offended you. I thought maybe the laughing frog would show I was kidding.

I apologize, I could have been nicer with my response given you were joking.

I support the view that you buy the device that is the best at what it does. A GPS is good at locating you on the planet while an ipod, or what ever, does the music bit.

I am pretty amazed that you don't have a real answer to your question yet. I know Briansnat has tried out a Hunt and there ARE other Lowrance users in this forum. Maybe this bump will help catch someone's eye.

This is my first gps and will just use it as that in the woods, but if it has a mp3 player that is any good

I would use it as a mp3 player, when I'm not in the woods.I know some are old school and does not

approve of use things but if the feture is there why not.

If you can use it as an mp3 player, then by all means, do so. But for me half of the fun of caching is just being in the woods seeing and listening to what I don't see and listen to in the 'burbs.

After my earlier post, I found a review from a user at Cabela's that said he used his Hunt with a speaker to play his pre-recorded game calls in the woods. Kinda cool, I think, but I'd think if it could output game calls to a speaker in the woods, then it would probably be pretty decent with a pair of headphones.

 

For clarification, Briansnat reviewed the H2O. Although he published a very good review, the H2O does not have the mp3 player capability.

Update

Found the adapter for the headset and the sound quality is very close to the ipod I have. When your listening to music your pages are there but the gps is off.
