..where the BT stands for Bluetooth. Sure, it's probably NG for tracking because of the lag, but what about mixing? I love my 50x's and I hate the wire. Besides, I sure would love to be able to get up and walk around while giving a critical listen on occasion. I did a quick search and cut to the chase, I read that all but the high end of most program material sends out a max of ~500 kbps. A wire can handle over 2000 kbps, but the 786 kbps that Bluetooth supports seems to be more than enough for the job. I record at 48k max, I doubt my stuff gets close to the max. I've never heard of a need for kbps headroom - or is there a compression protocol at play? Let's say I can put up with the occasional drop-out. Can I expect them to perform as well as my wired set?

Bluetooth is a digital protocol meaning that it doesn’t face the same kind of companding artifacts found in analog RF transmission. However, the limited bandwidth requires the data to be compressed (like mp3) and the quality is dependent upon the specific codec being used in the particular device.

Yeah, I just went to the AT web-site. Read some FAQ's and Reviews.. Looks like a a bad solution - and not a great marketing decision. Funny, you would think that a decent percentage of 50x owners use them for recording and mixing. Why set those folks up for disappointment with your brand?

Bluetooth sound sucks. I have two bluetooth headphones, one is an expensive high end model given to me. It's in my closet and I don't even recall the name because I refuse too use it. Maybe for airplanes...
