The main problem with digital wireless headphones, especially Bluetooth
ones, is the latency. Whatever you play will come through the headphones
as if it were being played through a speaker about 20 to 30 feet away,
as the round trip delay through the codec system is about 20
milliseconds at best.



And unless you are listening from a smartphone, you will likely need a
stand-alone bluetooth transmitter. Not a problem in itself, but likely
not yet available in the newer standards.

And if you read this article you may begin to appreciate what a nest or
worms Bluetooth is, and that it is not that straightforward to even know
what you've got !
