Topic: airpod
Hi, we bought Pianoteq 6. Could we use airpod to listen to the music from the software? We can use normal earphone, but not airpod. Does it matter? Any suggested bluetooth earphone work with Pianoteq 6?
Thank you.

Re: airpod
Hi,
I would imagine so if your pc/laptop/Mac has Bluetooth but I wouldn't recommend it as it Pianoteq will not sound great through them.
I would advise investing in some decent over ear headphones to get the most out of the sound from Pianoteq.
This is purely my own opinion by the way.

Bluetooth headphones have lag, even the best ones. You will feel completely disconnected from the piano.

Re: airpod
If you need to go wireless, you'll want RF-based headphones. I don't know about the newer models, but I bought a pair of Sennheisers a few years ago that are great. The batteries don't last that long. Maybe 4-5 hours or so. But the sound quality is decent. And unlike Bluetooth, the latency is low enough to play a keyboard.

Most of those are Bluetooth, which you don't want. Here are the RF models they're currently offering:

Re: airpod
I am personally using Mpow X3. It is a wireless bluetooth earbuds. Its noise cancellation feature and the battery timings are the key points for me to buy it. It also supports both android and ios devices. Do have a look on this too.

Re: airpod
I would not recommend any type of bluetooth device in the signal chain.
Neither for midi transmission (keyboard to computer), nor for real-time audio transmission (computer to headphones).
There's latency occuring, meaning it takes to much time from the point you press a key till the moment the sound reaches your ear.
It feels like you're playing in the past. Not good.
RF headphones offer way less latency.
In my opinion wired devices are the way to go when it comes to real-time transmission.
Also it makes troubleshooting easier (why don't I hear anything?).
Cables are your friend
Just my two cents.

Re: airpod
Bluetooth compresses the audio as far as I know and that's the reason why I wouldn't use it, except for streaming music from my phone which is already compressed. I don't know if the specific have changed in newer versions (I doubt it) but you always lose something by using BT to listen to music.
