Wireless IEMs for recording?

[ole Jason]

Having a hard time finding many search results for this. Is there an easy to set up way to use wireless earbuds to record on my PC? Obviously Bluetooth isn't an option due to latency but I'm not really finding any solutions that sound promising. Are the $800+ systems for live use the only option?

Over the ear headphones are extremely uncomfortable for me due to wearing glasses (any glasses wearers have a recommendation here?). My main use case is that I sometimes record acoustic instruments in an adjacent room and it would be nice to be able to move back and forth without messing with headphones every time.

Look for wireless gaming headphones

Or
Amazon.com : non bluetooth wireless headphones

I am sensitive to pressure with over ear headphones. Beyerdynamic DT series don’t give me pain with or without my glasses. But, they aren’t wireless.

Maybe try posting on head-fi. Lots of knowledgeable posters there. Beware of contracting severe audiophile GAS if you use the site! I hope that helps.

Alternative: I use my normal IEMs wired to an appropriately long 1/8 inch extension cable (I have a few from 10-50ft).

I avoid wireless both on stage and in studio. Ever since I got my expensive custom molded IEMs, there’s nothing else I’d rather use for comfort or sound quality. I’ve got a couple headphone extension cables of varying length, which most pro studios also have at the ready, so I’ve never felt the need for wireless.

I also wear glasses and get pain from headphones after a short period. I’ve found relief by raising the back temple part of my glasses up above the cup of the headphones. This angles the lenses downwards, which may affect vision if you have progressive or bifocals, but maybe not. It doesn’t effect my vision whatsoever and is way more comfortable than leaving the temples sandwiched between my head and the cans.
