Bluetooth Headphones

[Pete Wellock]

Hi everyone,

 

does anyone know if its possible to use my AirPod pro headphones with my new Casio PX S7000 please?

 

It has pairing capability but not sure if it will do sound out via Bluetooth. I’ve managed to play sound in from my iPhone but the out is proving tricky.

 

Thanks

Pete

That is not possible.  Bluetooth on the PX-S7000 is a receiver only.  It does not transmit audio.  There is a reason for this.  Most Bluetooth speakers and headphones are not suitable for monitoring musical instruments because they introduce too much latency.

Thanks Brad, that’s great and sadly what i thought. New pair of headphones it is. 

 

Thanks for taking to time to reply 🙂

While Bluetooth latencies in the past have varied widely, some of the newer Bluetooth (5.0+) transmitters and headphones have technology that significantly reduces the latency.  For example, Qualcomm's Aptx-Low Latency (available at pretty reasonable prices now in headphones and transmitters) reduces the latency to below 40ms, which is about the limit that most people can actually distinguish.  I believe its primary purpose was for things like TV and gaming, where a timing difference between what you hear and the action/dialog on the screen can be a little distracting.  But in music terms, you can think of it as no more than the duration of a 64th note when playing 120BPM.  So while wired is still better, I'd say that Bluetooth is no longer out of the question for music instrument monitoring.
