Firehawk with wireless/bluetooth headphones?

Hi All, Just bought myself a Firehawk with few other stuff as my birthday gift(s)  :lol: I got a pair of wireless transmitter & receiver for my guitar. But I'm also desperately trying to go wireless on the headphones side for late night jamming!  Is there any way I could stream the USB audio over to bluetooth headphones? Like the way we could do on a PC using a small USB/BT adapter? Does firehawk have the necessary driver for it?

 

 

In the worst case, I'd have to go with something like this adapter or these headphones? But I really want to use the digital out from firehawk USB.

 

Please let me know some ideas so that I can get rid of the wired pair.

Hey Sayid98,

 

I was looking for the same thing and bought the Taotronics Bluethooth transmitter and the CB3 Bluethooth headphones and this setup did NOT work for me. Despite the Toatronics marketing that that transmitter was "Low Latency", the sound reaching my ears was delayed by about half a second making it a difficult and unsatisfying playing experience. Strangely, there doesn't seem to be a delay when I hook the transmitter up to my TV and use the same headphones (the sound is in sync with the image on screen). Not sure why there's a delay with the Firehawk and not with the TV. 

 

Did you try out the adapter / headphone combo you mentioned in your post?

I been using an Avantree Saturn Pro plugged into the headphone output jack of my Firehawk; it works very well and pairs with everything. The Saturn Pro uses the AptX LL codec (32 ms latency) so there is no perceptible BT lag. It's small, usb rechargeable, and can be switched to either receive or transmit. In fact, Avantree also sells Saturn Pros in pairs, which is worthwhile. I have the second one, set to receive, plugged into my sound system... the stereo chorus effects and ping-pong delays are amazing. Anyway, Avantree is reliable and has cutting-edge technology. I got mine two years ago at Amazon, I use them every day, and they haven't let me down.

 

Hope that helps.
