Bluetooth Headphones in Garageband Lag

When I try to record guitar in garageband through my Beats Studio Wireless headphones there is a noticable lag in the audio output. I was wandering if there is any solution to this because it would be nice to be able to use them with no cable to get in my way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

bluetooth a2dp headset profile support not sort of feedback of audio progress it's fire and forget
so there really is no means for the iOS device to know if it should stall audio to wait for video or the other way around
you'd face the same issue with computers too
only cure it finding a bluetooth headset which does not attempt to clean up the audio from noise and buffer it to avoid cut outs if signal quality
is poor

Wireless Headphones in Garageband Problem

I just got a pair of wireless (bluetooth) headphones and tried to play guitar on the new garageband and the sound output had a lag on it. Is there a way to fix this?

Audio over Bluetooth is slow, it needs to be compressed, encoded to be sent and then uuencoded all on the fly. Wired is the way to go when latency is a issue.

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband?

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband? I can't get it to work after many tries.

I can pair the headphones with the computer but the sound from GB is distorted and muffled. I can barely hear it. The set works with iTunes, but not with GarageBand.

Bluetooth headphones playback issues with iOS 6

Has anyone been experiencing some playback issues with the latest iOS 6 and Bluetooth headphones?
A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sony's MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones and ever since I updated my iOS devices (4S & iPad 2), playback of tracks has been lagging for the first few seconds. Whenever I choose a song on my iPhone or iPad's player, I just can't hear its first 3~10 seconds. I've contacted Sony about this issue and they bluntly replied that it's Apple's issue, but when I contacted Apple, they referred me to their Bluetooth connectivity site. In other words, my problem still hasn't been solved.
Could anyone help me solve this frustrating issue?
Thanks.

Phone apps & bluetooth headphones

Can I get bluetooth headphones that will work with the phone apps like Truephone & Skype?

I'm not sure why they would do this as wired headphones are available with a microphone (they work for Skype etc.) Are they the only ones that make the headphones with microphones?
a) They're holding back features so the consumer can be impressed by "free" add-ons in the future
or
b) They haven't worked out the kinks in the system and this is the best they can offer at the moment, with headset support in the future as they fix bugs, etc. Routing audio through bluetooth isn't as easy as using wired headsets. Bluetooth is just like using the internet. All data gets compressed/encrypted/packet'd, then sent to the other device, where it does the reverse. That's on TOP of the audio processing that is done with both wired and wireless audio. So, you then have to factor in, how to do all that, without lagging the audio too much (like watching poorly dubbed Chinese movies, the guy is talking but the audio comes out a second after he starts)
take your pick.

Success using Bluetooth headphones A2DP

Has anyone had success using bluetooth headphones with the Mac OS X 10.5+?
I have a pair of JBL Reference 610 bluetooth headphones and would like to use them with my MacBook Pro. I have no problem pairing them and can listen to sounds, music, etc. for a short period of time. Within 1min - 5min of listening the sound will cut completely and then come back in after a few seconds. When it comes back in, the music sounds like it is speeding to catch up. It might continue this way for a few seconds, come back, and drop out again. This continues to degrade until no sound comes through at all. The headphones remain connected during this time and I must disconnect them in order to listen to music through another way.
Please post here if you have gotten bluetooth audio to work or if you are having problems.
I opened a ticket with Apple support and this incident has been reported to engineering.

Same problem. I just bought $400 stereo music Bluetooth headphones to lose the wire. Every other music app I have plays to the headphones, even cheap little toys like Kalimba. But not GarageBand.

RAM preview audio will not play through bluetooth headphones

I am using bluetooth headphones (Jaybird Freedom Sprint) to try and edit audio/video in after effects. However, when I go to Preferences>Audio Output Mapping and choose "Freedom Sprint" and click OK, close the preference window, and it will automatically go back to the default "Built in Output" when I open it back up. It will only play the sound through the Mac Pro tower I am using. Is there a way to get the headphone option output to stay permanently?? Is there a reason why it is not staying selected? Another thing I forgot to mention is that all other sounds work (like iTunes, volume up/down) through the headphones except for the audio RAM preview in After Effects. How can I disable the audio from playing through the tower? Very frustrating!
BTW - the only time headphones actually work is when they are plugged into the tower. These ones obviously can't be plugged in.
Thanks! (Screenshots provided for help)

Thanks! I definitely did try that first... (trying to find a solution with the headphones). You can't find any info about them online/their website. Regardless though, After Effects will not allow me to play the audio output through any other device except for the Mac Pro tower - even playing it through the LCD Cinema Display won't work.
Thanks for your reply

Is there a way to listen to radio on iPod nano 7th gen with Bluetooth headphones?

I know the iPod nano 7th gen uses the headphones as an antenna. I know there will need to be some sort of antenna attached. Does anybody know if there is an antenna on the market that can be plugged into the headphone jack that will allow audio to be sent to a pair of Bluetooth headphones?

There is currently no such antenna available.

Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?

Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?
The sound when I record video is not so good, so I'm trying to use the Bluetooth headphone/microphone to capture a person voice but not know which setting to use.

Hi Robert
Thanks for answering. I didn't know where to post other than the bluetooth forum which is relatively quiet and had no answers forthcoming.
Yes the voice isn't reaching the amp although it is registering on the input bar in the Sound System Prefs, just won't "play through" as it were. I can't see how it could be done I was just hoping someone might see something I am missing.
It seems a shame that you can't do it as iTunes on an old iBook makes a good juke box for DJ'ing and with everything becoming wireless these days it seems sensible that you could cut that one last wire.

Can you use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad 4?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad?
It is so my children can watch a film or listen to music together.
Thanks

No

Bluetooth headphones in 8.1 won't switch between laptop and headphones

can set speakers or headhones as default but won't swich back and forth when push headphone on off button worked perfect on old laptop with win7 now running win 8.1 on hp 13 split x2
turns off headphones totally (need t factory reset) and shuts off music playing until restart

Hi zimmetp,
If I understand correctly you have paired a Bluetooth headphone to your notebook and it works fine. The problem arises when you go back to your regular notebook speakers and/or headphones and the sound doesn't work.
Are you turning off the Bluetooth when you try to go back to regular sound? If the computer still sees a connection to the Bluetooth headphones and they are set to default then it will continue to use those and not the regular ones.
What is your product number?

Question about Bluetooth & Headphones to avoid damaging the miniport!?

Well, I finally experienced the same thing a lot of others have already ... the left side audio failed completely on my Touch, so I had to go return it and have it replaced. Luckily, the folks at Best Buy were nice enough to just swap it out and give me a new one, even though I was outside of my 30-day return policy. I have a service plan there, but I didn't want to go without my Touch while they replaced it elsewhere and sent me a refurbished device which probably wouldn't be in the same condition I keep my own in (immaculate -- 40+ days I've used it for 3+ hours a day, and there is hardly a scratch on the stainless steel, and the screen is flawless ... or was).
So now I have a new Touch, but I want to prevent this from happening again. Personally, I think the mini-port on the Touch, while it doesn't have the same problem as those of the iPhones, it has a design problem as well. But I don't want this thread to end up being a discussion of whether there is a design issue or not, but rather I need some help to find an accessory to fit my specific needs.
What I am looking for is either, a website actually selling [this product|http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/princeton-technologys-bluetooth-head phone-adapter/|Visit www.podtropolis.com today!] to customers in the U.S. ... or a product nearly like it.
I don't even need the iPod-Bluetooth transmitter, as those are VERY common. What I need is the other part, the receiver with a miniport Audio-Out (headphone jack). I don't even need the capabilities of the remote. Especially since this particular device may not even WORK with the iPod Touch. I'm hoping the audio-out features would, but I could care less if the remote-control did.
Basically, I'm reaching out in desperation with a severe headache from too many google searches with little to show for it ... I need help finding a Bluetooth headphone Audio-Out receiver.
And before you ask why I don't just buy a pair of bluetooth headphones, my reason is this ... bluetooth headphones can't be used wired when the battery dies, or to save battery when there's little chance you're going to drop the iPod and bend the miniport connection inside. With this, I can use the headphones I already have, I like, and still easily have the capability of switching to wired if I NEED to.
This is the only way I can think of to truly prevent the overuse of the Touch's mini-port and the wear & tear that comes from it.
Please, if you have any suggestions, please provide at least a semi-accurate device name and manufacturer, or, preferably, a link to a site in English with an online store!
Thanks!

This device -> G-Lite BH-Q395T Bluetooth Stereo Sport Clip-On with 3.5mm Adapter is similar to the one you linked to.
It has a BT transmitter which plugs into the iPod and a BT receiver which you plug standard headphones into.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Chris ... sometimes I wonder how I could LIVE WITHOUT YOU! You're an iPod GOD!
You pointed me in the right direction ... I found it sold at Beach Audio, with JUST the receiver, so now I can buy my preferred iPod BT transmitter as well! Plus this device is useful for other things:
Specifications:
-- Wirelessly stream music from a cellular phone or Bluetooth enabled iPod or MP3 player
-- Listen to music on a cellular phone through A2DP protocol
-- Sporty clip-on design for ultra-lightweight design and ultimate portability
-- Features echo elimination and noise suppression
-- Supports AVRCP, A2DP, VoIP and Skype"

Bluetooth Headphones Audio Delayed after Updating to Yosemite

Ever since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite my Bluetooth headphones have started having pretty drastic delays on my iMac. When I first start up the computer it seems normal, but after a half an hour or so, I have more than a 2 second delay.
I googled it and found that lots of people have this problem, but I haven't found any fixes. Is there anything I can do??

I Just got an update on my bug report from Apple yesterday. They think they've fixed the bug in the next release 10.10.8.2.
Hopefully this does the trick and it's just a matter of time Before we all get the update.
I Havent been able to confirm the fix, but it's something!
