Wireless headphones and bluetooth transmitter for a digital piano/hammond?

What's Hot
A good pair of wireless headphones would make my life easier playing the piano quietly at home. I would need to buy a bluetooth transmitter as the piano is old.
I'm very tempted by the Bose QuietComfort 35, which I could use with my iPod too.
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth transmitter too?

    General consensus is that Bluetooth has too much latency for listening while you’re playing. Certainly I’ve found it unusable for guitar, and I can’t imagine that piano would be different.

    If latency is over 12ms it will be a pain (at least for guitar /bass)

    Thank you @mart and @spark ;
    a cord it is then. I’ll pop over to the bedroom playing headphones thread then.

    Hang on, IEMs? What’s the technology there for zero latency?

    Good point. That and the tech used for wireless guitar systems (or are they the same?) must work with low enough latency to serve your purpose.

    In last few years all manufacturers are transitioning to WiFi (some of them to 5G) because there is no restrictions as it happens with vhf/uhf in different countries, the cons are some dropouts because there is WiFi everywhere, some latency (my line6 g75 has 1.5ms so you cannot notice at all) and there is some conversion analog/digital/analog.

    sorry for my crappy English.
