Top VX Multi-Flex — full wireless and advanced tuning
The Garrett VX9 is the top VX Multi-Flex model with full wireless audio, advanced Multi-Flex programs, and Garrett's best separation in the VX family. It competes with serious all-around machines while keeping Garrett's familiar ergonomics. Garrett designed it for advanced hobbyists and semi-pro hunters who want flagship Garrett performance below Axiom pricing. Beaches, large parks, and iron-heavy permissions are where the VX9 is meant to shine.
