Wireless headphones question

[bassjim]

Dear collective Brethren of the deep

Sorry if this has been asked before..

Any recommendations on wireless headphones that are good for all round use. Recording bass tracks but also for general listening to muzac while Mrs BassJim is trying to talk to me about the shopping ,dogs eaten the remote, wheres that tenner for the window cleaner ect

I cant recommend any wireless, because I would always recommend wired headphones. Anything using bluetooth might be good enough for general listening, but probably have too much latency for recording. Which probably rules out 99.9% of the 2020 wireless headphone market

As stated above, bluetooth will have too much latency for recording.

However, many (most?) bluetooth headphones allow you you use them with a cable too, so you could probably find a pair that sound good and use them with cable for recording and enjoy the wireless for listening?

This is what I do with my Sennheiser Momentums - plug the cable in for use with my audio interface, but I can remove the cable and use them wirelessly with my phone (or anything with Bluetooth) when I’m in “casual listening” mode.

Your spoilt for choice with blue tooth/wireless for listening. But avoid going down that route for playing/recording instruments. Terrible latency.

 

I have spent a lot of time trying to find what you’ve described. You MAY be able to do it but at a pointlessly phenomenal cost.

 

Get good studio cans for playing. Get decent wireless for popping to the shops.

Non-Bluetooth wireless may have noticeable compression.
