Heya! I’m thinking about purchasing wireless noise-canceling earplugs (e.g. the Sony WF-1000XM4 or Apple AirPods Pro), mostly for listening to music on the go. But I was also wondering whether there are any issues (aside from the latency one) when it comes to making music on the go with these headphones? I assume it’s generally possible to configure Ableton Live to use those Bluetooth headphones instead of the internal audio card? And there’s most probably a quite high latency, but I would probably be fine with that (at least in most mobile music production situations where I would just use the internal audio card of the MacBook Pro). Anyway, would love to hear experiences from people who did this!

Edit: I’m currently using Audio-Technica ATH-M50 X (mostly at home) and Shure SE-215 (mostly on the go). So especially with regards to the Shure earplugs I’m probably quite used to not having a super neutral listening experience already.

      Interesting to hear about the mid-high frequencies. But I guess it makes sense that they’re not very neutral, considering they’re made for hifi listening and not producing/mixing music. I’m currently using the Shure SE215 which are also rather made for monitoring and hifi needs. So, I probably won’t have a huge issue with the earplugs not being super neutral.

        They’re not only not neutral, but actively interfering with the signal (as long as they do active noise cancelling of course). But yeah, better than nothing still.
