Swee****er sells the wireless headphone boxes for $230


5ms may be good enough - best try it out. Quite inexpensive ....

Most regular analogue IEM system could do similar, in stereo if desired,
without the latency.


If you're going to put the live feed into the mix, latency on the headphone
is critical for tracking. 5ms is enough to cause weird comb filtering on
the vocals in the phones.

If you're not going to put the live feed into the mix, latency doesn't
matter at all. You could have several seconds of latency and it would
be just fine, you'd just have to advance the new track up a little in
software.

And to be honest, tracking headphones can sound pretty awful as long as
they have a good sense of presence.
