Anyone tried wireless earbuds with VR?

Every now and again I have another search for audio solutions for my Rift S.

I had a pair of Koss KSC75's adapted to hook on to the head band for a while, and they worked well - but I got fed up with the fitment.

And I get very hot playing something like Beat Saber, and find that something over my ears exacerbates that.

So, I wondered about some wireless earbuds - given that I am tempted to buy a pair ready for a long haul flight next year anyway.

The idea would be to get one of those mini bluetooth transmitters to plug into the headset. But how good are they? Could I expect a good result by using one of those with say some Sony WF-1000XM4's?

And if anyone has experience with this, can you recommend a transmitter?
 
Cheers. That wouldn't work with the Rift S, since it connects via USB, not via 3.5mm jack though.

Thanks @Mujja for your experience. Do you reckon the latency was down to the earbuds themselves though - or the transmitter you used?

I also wondered whether you would even need to connect the transmitter to the headset - you could run it from the computer instead if you had the computer set to mirror VR audio.
 
How do you connect them? BT dongle? Is your headset a Quest2, so your dongle is connected by USB? Or a Rift so it's connected via the 3.5mm jack?
 
No - just trying to better justify spending a ton on some earbuds becasuse they would be used for multiple purposes - both travelling and VR, but not at the same time. :)
