Bluetooth Headphones for CW

Dave Sublette-2
Good morning all,

Skip to the last paragraph to get the question.

I operate almost exclusively on CW with a KX3 and K2 that I built in 2004.
I have the audio from two computers and both radios run to a small Xenyx
502 mixer , then to a small stereo amp and a nice pair of speakers.  I
seldom use the speakers and I run a couple of pairs of corded headphones
from the mixer.

I often run afoul of the headphone cord. It gets tangled in the arm of my
chair, etc... I would love to have wireless, noise cancelling headphones.
However, this would involve putting a bluetooth (or other wireless)
transmitter on the mixer output, compatible with whichever model of
headphones I buy.

The big issue (as far as I can understand it) is Latency.  The CW sidetone
must not be delayed.  I have googled latency specs and found some pretty
good data for headphones.  I found at least one pair of headphones that
measures 40ms latency, a number that would probably work.  However, that
doesn't include the latency induced by the transmitter.

Is anyone using a transmitter/headphone combination for CW that works? If
so, please share your setup details.  Thanks.

Dave, K4TO
