Wireless headphone solution?

[DavidT]

It would be nice to not have to mess with wires when recording guitar/bass.
Has anyone come up with a good, simple wireless headphone solution? Transmitter in Model 12 port, etc?
Haven't seen anything on the forum.
Any helpful solutions are appreciated. Thank you!

Seems like you’d have to employ an external wireless-gear solution, sourcing the signal from the headphones out jack…
Though I don’t remember anyone doing this, anywhere, ever. Headphones are part & parcel of studio work…

EDIT:
Obviously, your issue would require ’phones that have a transmitter, that can accept input from the M12’s h’phone output…
Like THESE…or THESE…
HERE’s a set clearly geared towards general listening…same HERE…
Maybe a wireless headphone amp, to use w whuteva w/less phones you choose?

Lookin’ into this…can’t help but mention:
I can’t speak for anyone else…but if I’mma spending hundreds on ‘phones for the studio…I’d gladly abide the torment of wired ‘phones in exchange for top-end recording-studio-caliber sound reproduction…mebbe less so for general tracking, but surely for mixing/mastering…shoot - even my cheap-y daily-use ‘phones, for tracking ‘n stuff, are $200 Sennheisers…

Agree with @shredd, after spending precious time and money to find a reliable headphone I will use it whatever it takes. When recording and mixing.
I recognize that IEM can be a blessing for instrument players, and thankfully there are many models to chose from. Last time I searched on Thomann I got no less than 90 results, starting from 166 EUR and up to 4000.

Good point! IEMs should work fine for me. Ordered one today. Thanks.

It would be interesting to know your opinion about IEMs. Don't miss to report back when you test them.

I should have them in the next day or so. I’l report back to the group.

I have some pretty decent wired headphones, but I’m interested in the “freedom” part. Plus they get tangled up in my other wires.

Got the IEM's and nice earbuds. IMO, they're good for listening to yourself while playing guitar or bass, but I wouldn't use them for mixing, etc. The don't represent the true sound - a bit tinny I'd say. A little better when you have the right sized earbud cushions so the ear seal is tight (retains some bass).
