So I've seen and own many Bluetooth receiving devices... console controllers, audio receivers to make wired headphones into wireless, etc... I guess technically my phone, laptop and other devices function as BT transmitters...
 
But outside of Bluetooth DACs, is there a device where a signal can be sent in from my interface, and then I could (through Bluetooth or some other wireless protocol) send the signal to a pair of wireless headphones/earbuds/a speaker for example?
 
Or is a Bluetooth DAC the solution I'm searching for? Is it fast enough even, or do I need to stick with wired?
I'm looking for a way to do wireless tracking with roughly equally low latency as I manage with wired, or when doing direct input monitoring without going thru the DAW. Someone mentioned doing it that way in another thread.
 
 
Thanks in advance, ya'll! I'm slowly making my way toward greater efficiency and higher-end functionality and aesthetics for my home studio.

I tried Bluetooth headphones with Sonar.  There is a undesirable delay (latency).  I was warned, on here, about the delay but I tried it anyway.  The BT headphones now collect dust.

Bluetooth audio tends to have quite a lot of latency. I seek to recall that the spec allows for something like up to 40ms.

Bluetooth MIDI is more usable, but there’s still some overhead compared to USB or MIDI cables. How much depends on all the components involved.

As Seen On TV: Sharper Image OwnZone Headphones - $60. NOT Bluetooth - 100 ft range - and you can use 2 pairs at the same time! If you order from the TV promo you get a 2nd pair free (pronounced "separate fee"). They were also offering a higher end version for a little more.
 
I can find no mention of audio delay so that would need further investigation.

Or consider HPs that use Kleer wireless like the Sennheiser.
 
Bluetooth uses compression whereas Kleer does not. It can also connect 4 HPs at once.

If you're listening to finished audio, BT is fine (as you won't notice the latency).
If you're trying to play/track while monitoring via BT, the latency is going to be too high (uncomfortable).
