Bluetooth headphones with Sony A7S mkii?


Recommended Posts

Does anybody know if it's possible (and easy) to use bluetooth headphones with my A7S mkii?

I have the neat little XLR KM2, and would love to ditch the umbilical connection with headphones cable.

I'm worried about lunging forward and sending my camera toppling, or putting wear on the connection jack.

 

Has anybody tried this? What headphones?

 

Thanks for reading.

Your post spurned me to try it. Connecting the Sony ECM-AW4 to the headphone output of the A7S mk2 works fine. Of course you can't monitor in stereo. I use the AW4 connected to iPhone cradled on a video rig to broadcast my shoots live via the Periscope app. The AW4 runs$160. There should be less expensive bluetooth devices out there that can do something similar to this if the quality of the mic pickup isn't all that important where all you want to do is verify audio limits are in range. Stayed connected when 60' away down a hall and through 4 walls.
