I track myself almost exclusively. Guitars, cello, piano, vocals, and I'm tired of running around from whatever instrument I'm playing to my desk and having to deal with a long headphone cable. I would prefer to use my ATH-M50s, but I'm willing to consider alternatives if it's a dedicated turn-key solution. I'm looking for negligible latency but almost all of the wireless headphones out there are bluetooth and unless something has changed with Bluetooth, I'm pretty sure they will have too much latency. Most of the receiver systems out there are designed for microphones and guitars.
I'm not sure if the Rode GO II or the Saramonic Blink 500 systems are feasible, but I like the idea of a small receiver that clips onto the headphones. Is anyone familiar with these? They are marketed to videographers, so I'm skeptical. Is the Saramonic headphone output only for monitoring?? Mono could be acceptable.. or even preferable because I'm a mostly one-ear tracker anyway. Come to think of it, I don't even need super-high fidelity - I don't necessarily have to draw inspiration from the mix - Hearing the instrument I'm playing in its space is more important to me, which is probably why I'm a half-headphone tracker.
I'm not looking for a multi-channel system, so it seems reasonable to me that there should be something out there in the under $500 range that should do the trick, but I'm willing to spend more if that's what it takes.
