Heya! I’m thinking about purchasing wireless noise-canceling earplugs (e.g. the Sony WF-1000XM4 or Apple AirPods Pro), mostly for listening to music on the go. But I was also wondering whether there are any issues (aside from the latency one) when it comes to making music on the go with these headphones? I assume it’s generally possible to configure Ableton Live to use those Bluetooth headphones instead of the internal audio card? And there’s most probably a quite high latency, but I would probably be fine with that (at least in most mobile music production situations where I would just use the internal audio card of the MacBook Pro). Anyway, would love to hear experiences from people who did this!

Edit: I’m currently using Audio-Technica ATH-M50 X (mostly at home) and Shure SE-215 (mostly on the go). So especially with regards to the Shure earplugs I’m probably quite used to not having a super neutral listening experience already.

    I LOVE the idea of wireless. But I haven’t been able to get to to work reliably. To me the latency was absolutely too much. I suppose if you never play anything but use a piano roll or sequencer instead it might work.

      The latency is miserable!!! Unfortunately I don’t think wireless is worth the convenience is this case
