Default IEM's for Studio/Tracking - Bluetooth

Hi there,
Regarding IEM's for Studio/Tracking - Bluetooth, are there any of you experienced guys using such an item to record with, or is there even such suitable item available that can compare with wired headphones. I'm using Sennheiser HD 380 Pro to record with. But would be interested to know if there was anything bluetooth that works ..?

Cheers

The problem with wireless headphones will be the latency. So far as I know, no manufacturer has come out with a set that overcomes that issue to a degree where they'd be usable in a studio environment.

Thanks Jim, Alas I am reading the same as I search for information. My G daughter has a pair of 'Apple Airpods' and they have a very reasonable sound when playing via a media player. I'm wondering if a Bluetooth audio transmitter that connected into the audio interface's headphone socket would work..?. But like you suggest the latency round trip would likely be the issue with trying to record

Bluetooth latency is worse than wireless tech (headphones, guitar transmitters) latency.
