Wireless headphones with no lag?

[Friarspoint]

Hi,

I would like to be able to plug in my guitar to my laptop (using my Apogee Jam 96K) and listen through wireless headphones so that a headphone wire/cable does not interfere with my guitar. The bluetooth earbuds I bought (Sol Shadow) have a very noticeable lag. So, I hear my guitar well after hitting a note on it. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone solve it?

Thanks,
Scott

There's no wireless without recording latency unfortunately, you must used a wired solution for reduced latency since wireless don't go through an audio interface that can tame the latency.

If you want no or low latency for cheap, go wired. There isn't anything wireless out there that's affordable.

If wireless is a must, take a look at these dedicated in-ear wireless monitoring systems:

These reduce latency to an acceptable level, but you pay for it.

Bummer. I was afraid of that. I was hoping that perhaps Bluetooth 5.0 might resolve that problem but it doesn't sound like you think it will. Sigh. I'm not at the point where I want to spend that much just for practicing. I'll just deal with the cables on the wired headphones... Thanks!

Do you think it is safe to listen to wireless headphones?

Yes.
