Bluetooth Headphones on MPCX SE?

Hi! Noob here!

MPCX SE arriving tomorrow. No immediate access to wired phones.

Is there any way to use Bluetooth headphones to monitor?

Thanks!

No, bluetooth audio not supported, too much latency.

Thanks!

Suggestions for wired phones? (Or new topic / existing FAQ's)?

Objectives:

Sub $100 or so

Balanced sound (not "boomy Bass"):
(Reference-quality audio balance)
I know, consumer / pro-sumer here...

Closed cup

Great adjustability to fit smaller head /
distance from top of head to ears.

Thanks!

These are decent https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-A ... 00HVLUR54/

I've got the field-serviceable (FS) version of these and can attest that they're fantastic for the price. For less than $100 USD, you could do worse. I wear glasses and these are even comfortable in extended sessions. Very flat response. Just great cans.

Another vote for those. I use the step up from that model (ath-m50x, $169) and I love them so much that I've bought three pairs now.

The ATH are the best bang for your buck. If you care about a flat signal/honest sound you can’t go wrong.

Thank you! Looks great! I like the dual cord option and screw-on adapter. Specs say Li battery required but doesn't show included. Unless NC, don't get that. Is that a mistake? Folding design reminds me of phones I used for live sound. Pretty sure they were JVC. Came with a (started out) white bag with wide/flat gray drawstring closer. Sounded great, definitely "true" sound. Had them for years. Just not sure where they went or are.

Thanks! What makes them FS? Is that a potential benefit outside of on the road / performance environments?

Thoughts on fit? I often need a spacer pad under headbands to get cups to fit. JVC's (pretty sure that's what they were) were always fine.

Curious, why 3 pairs?

Fit for short distance from top of head to ears?

One pair is 15yo and gigged heavily and I've worn out the cable at the 1/4" end due to the way it bends on my weird setup. The earpads are pretty tired-looking as well. You can buy the cable on Amazon and I think the earpads, too, but I just bought a new pair. I still have that pair if I feel like replacing the cable. I bought two new pairs, one for my MPC and one for my laptop.

None of that makes these a poor choice. I give glowing reviews of them.

I think I have a largish head, so I can't say if the fit will be right for your head. I've seen young children in their dad's studio wearing them. I dunno if that helps.
