Best Bluetooth transmitter for HiFi quality audio

warwick2001

Morning all,

I have a Roland RD-700NX digital stage piano. It is not bluetooth ready, therefore I need a transmitter which I can plug into the headphone socket so I can use my bluetooth earphones (these are pretty damned expensive, so I don't want to replace with wired ones). Which would be the best transmitter to use? I have had a quick google search, but I'm not really finding anything conclusive.

Does anyone have a set-up using a transmitter with a high end stereo? I am happy to pay premium if I get the quality I would like.

Many thanks

I have no idea about quality of transmitter.
I think it usually state it come with aptx HD?

Why not just buy a pair of wired headphones in addition to your bluetooth ones for use with the piano?

You can google the various blutooth modes and which have the best fidelity, but BT is not an audiophile connectivity option although of course it scores high on convenience

What BT modes do your headphones support ?

• LDAC and AAC but not aptX or aptX HD

This directly from the Sony website, I have the WH-1000XM4's

As I already have my wireless headphones, I would prefer to continue using these and get a BT adapter, rather than a new pair of headphones. To get the same sort of quality in the wired ones would probably cost me approx. £150, where as a decent BT adapter would be around half that (or a quarter if I go for a mid-level one, Avantree do a range, starting at £30 ish and going up to £90 ish).

Looking at the spec for those headphones you can plug in the mini jack cable to make them wired, no need for a transmitter. Bluetooth is not a good protocol for good quality sound.

^^^ that is the best way forward. Will beat Bluetooth any day.

Well, looks like I'll be going wired then. Shame, but such as it is

Wired is better, but if you aren't too fussed about the audio quality not being optimal then a bluetooth transmitter will work. It depends on your priorities.

Those Sony headphones perform very well wired make sure they are powered on even when wired
