For those saying Bluetooth is the answer, that may be true for the vast majority of users, but for musicians using iOS to make music, Bluetooth audio latency is too high in many situations. Additionally, if you're connecting the USB adapter (Camera Connection Kit) to plug in a MIDI keyboard and/or audio interface, you'll need to pass those through a USB hub and add a USB DAC to plug your wired headphones into.
- Roboprog 8y agoSomething the “just get an Android” crowd needs to understand - Android isn’t good enough for making music. A $650 Pixel 2 lags behind a $160 iPhone SE in terms of latency and drop-outs: http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2018/02/17/10-years-later-android-audio-quality-still-lags/ http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2018/02/17/10-years-later-... I wonder what the latency is on Bluetooth audio with Apple’s newer peripherals? My experience using Bluetooth speakers at home was “not for playing music” (on a keyboard). At least my ‘SE still has a headphone jack, as does my iPad Mini 2. I usually just use the headphone jack, even if there’s a little bit of noise bleeding across it. OTOH, I do have a powered USB hub with a built in DAC in it, like you mentioned, for plugging in multiple controllers. Thanks for pointing out this latency issue. Hopefully Apple just might reconsider the needs of a somewhat important customer subgroup. Cuz, musicians are cool :-) (And Apple is all about being “cool”, right?)
