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.
One thing you need to be aware of is the sample rate and codecs your wireless headphones use. Different DAWs handle this differently and it can be a massive headache if it doesn’t get handled well.
I haven’t tested with Ableton but both Logic and Studio One have their quirks when using Airpod Pros e.g. having to go into settings and re-select the headphones as the main output every time I take one earphone out using airpods.
Headphones that aren’t “true wireless” i.e. have a physical cable connecting L&R might be be less fiddly but I have no experience with those.
