Nokta Makro Simplex Wireless Headphones
The Nokta Makro Simplex supports wireless audio, and the usual pairing is Nokta's own green wireless headphones - owners repeatedly recommend them, often alongside the Nokta pinpointer that sounds through the same headphones. Below is what works, how to pair, and what to know about waterproof and underwater listening.
Which headphones work
The Simplex uses Bluetooth-style wireless audio, so Nokta's dedicated low-latency wireless headphones are the recommended match. One owner summed up the popular setup: "the simplex is a great machine - I'd pair it with the wireless green headphones and the Nokta pinpointer that works through the headphones." That combination lets the pinpointer's signal play in your ears so you are not carrying a separate buzzer.
Note that depending on the bundle, wireless headphones may be included or sold separately. Some retail promotions have packaged "a Nokta Makro Simplex+ with wireless headphones," while the base detector may not include them.
Pairing and the pinpointer passthrough
- Power on the detector and put the headphones into pairing mode.
- Open the wireless/connection menu on the Simplex and let it find the headphones.
- Confirm the pairing; audio should move from the speaker to the headphones.
- If you use the Nokta pinpointer, enable its wireless link so its tone also plays through the headphones.
If pairing drops, power-cycle both devices and re-pair. Keeping firmware current also helps connection stability - see Simplex firmware updates.
Waterproof and underwater audio
Standard wireless headphones are not for submersion. Because the Simplex itself is waterproof to 16 ft (5 m), underwater hunters need either the detector's built-in speaker or a purpose-built waterproof headphone option, since Bluetooth does not transmit underwater. For shore and shallow work the wireless headphones are fine; for full dives, plan around the built-in audio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Nokta Simplex come with wireless headphones?
It depends on the bundle. Some packages include Nokta's wireless headphones; the detector-only option may not. The Simplex supports wireless audio either way.
Can the Nokta pinpointer play through the Simplex headphones?
Yes. The Nokta pinpointer can link wirelessly so its signal sounds in the same headphones you use for the detector, which many owners consider a key selling point.
Do wireless headphones work underwater?
No. Bluetooth does not transmit underwater, so for diving you rely on the detector's built-in speaker or a dedicated waterproof headphone solution.
