After, yet again, getting the lead from my headphones wrapped round the castors of my chair and pulling it out of the socket, I’m wondering if wireless headphones would be an option.
I know Bluetooth ones have to much latency to be useful, but are there any other options that anyone on here has had any success with?

Hi Tim, I use a Chord wireless monitoring system which works well for me with both sets of my headphones (I use a nbon standard lead to keep the length down. It's quite usable with my mobile phone earphones: Chord IEM16 V2 UHF IN EAR MONITORING SYSTEM www.amazon.co.uk/chord-IEM16-In-Ear-Monitoring-System/dp/B00VW029N8Kind regards, Chris

For recording, yes you would notice it, very badly. You really want to be less than 10ms. Regards, Charlie

Hi Tim,
I’m with Charlie on this, I have a fairly fast system with a quality audio interface set at 48k with a 128 sample rate. I achieve an overall latency of 11.6 ms (5.92 ms input and 5.69 ms output), I could probably improve this by adding more RAM, but I’m not usually using more than a few tracks. If you’re using a DAW the combination of this and drivers can also make a difference to the efficiency of system usage and potential latency.
I had a similar problem to you and whist it doesn’t get rid of the problem of having physical leads, I went the other way to Chris and managed to get a 2.5 metre male to female jack extension lead, which makes routing the cable in a way that doesn’t get caught up much easier. However, this wasn’t as easy as it sounds as there are a lot of low quality leads which I felt wern’t doing me any favours with monitoring headphones, surprisingly I actually found a good quality lead that did the job well at the local Panasonic store.
Regards
Gary

I have a clip on my desk table where the headphones lead goes through, it's about three feet off the floor and stops lead dropping to the floor near chair legs etc, I'm not a fan of wireless headphones, too many gizmo's to interfere with sound.
