Bluetooth headphones ?

As I'm fed up with all the cables around me when I make music on my iPad, I've bought bluetooth headphones (Plantronics BackBeat Pro). While the sound that comes out of it is very good, the latency is simply unacceptable. :(

But this latency isn't the same depending which app I'm playing with :

On the one hand, using Gadget is impossible, I can almost go and drink a coffee between the time I touch the screen and the moment the sound finally arrives to my ears...

On the other hand, playing with Virsyn Tera is "nearly acceptable"...

So, I'm wondering if it's possible to use a bluetooth headphone to play music on iPad (and which model) or if I have to return to my old but still excellent AKG 240 ?

  • Have you checked to see if they work with Audiobus?

  • Im my experience "nearly acceptable" is really the best you can get over bluetooth -- the latency inherent in bluetooth transmission is really too high for playing

  • @knewspeak, no, I haven't...

    @nick, it's a pity, but while watching a film with a the little latency is acceptable, playing synth or guitar is impossible... I'll stay with my cables.

    I used to watch television at my Nanny's. We would put it on a few minutes before the programme started because it took a while to warm up. That seems funny now. Now we boot up our desktops and they take a while to 'warm up' too. I have no doubt that by the time my kid is my age (may he make it successfully) latency in headphones (WITHOUT CABLES!) will not be something folks think about, but having spent all kinds of different money over the past couple of years on these objects my short answer is: Not there yet.

    Ah, but what of the dot of infinity when you turned the telly off.

  • @knewspeak Funny. That Dot of Infinity is one of the things I keep in my House of Eternal Sentimentality (it's an enormous place mind).

  • Played with cubasis and a bluetooth speaker and when you pres a key on the keyboard you hear the sound almost a second later.Heard that in the near future they gonna release wifi speakers and headphones to prevent the latency problem.

  • Just bought a JBL flip 2 speaker. The latency thing really bummed me out, but with cables it works a dream.

    Btw, if anyone can recommend a way to play guitar into Logic Pro x without latency, I will buy them the moon. even with a Roland Due Capture I can't get my head around it!

  • I understand that BT LE is supposed to reduce the latency considerably, however I don't think there are many headphones that offer it yet.

    ... and ever expanding... ( )

    This television anecdote brought back the impulse I felt some weeks ago to report here, when my (younger) brother let me sit in his car, mounting a device above the windshield, turning on the radio, opening his ipad and playing his new song he made, on the stereo, musing about the possibilities of mixing ...
    Of course I immediately started to play some instrument apps over the locked frequency that was established by this fm transmitter thingie, and to my great astonishment found most of them quite responsive ... but I can't exactly tell, it was one of those busy, accelerated, quickly fading and distracting days I wish I could avoid.

  • On ear, over ear (full size), in ear, which kind of Bluetooth headphones do you prefer?

    I just got myself some JBL E50BT and I like them for listening to music and watching TV/videos. For music making I definitely have to go wired because of the latency. But I can recommend these. They sound great and are not overpriced.

    I have to reboot core audio now and then to cure latency while inputing guitar through an iRig Pro: Preferences/Audio/Devices, uncheck and recheck Enabled.
