Wireless monitoring?

[Steve St.Laurent]

Since it's such a creative bunch here I figured I'd throw this one out there.  I'm trying to figure out a way to set myself up to be able to monitor myself through one ear on stage.  I use a Line6 Pod HD500 which has a headphone out so I can hook right to that.  I was hoping to do this wirelessly as this is a church worship band so I'm up and down potentially a few times during a service.  I tried a bluetooth transmitter that took an 1/8" input and sent it out through a2dp protocol over bluetooth and then used a bluetooth receiver to a headphone but the lag was horrendous (I'd guess around a 1/2 second).  I've searched for other solutions and haven't found any.  Anyone here run across anything? 

If I can't do it wirelessly then how about wired options?  I've looked at the Aviom belt pack with a volume control and I'm also looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GIFBM4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=29HDLXFNHJSZO&coliid=I3T9F4UVF86S2M .  I need to be able to control the volume right at the headphone because the Pod's headphone output volume is tied to the all of the outputs so I can't just change that volume on the fly as it will mess with the sound guys.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Wirelessly you  want to look at a transmitter and receiver pack. Unfortunately not a cheap solution for anything decent. Currently I use a Seinheuser (sp?) solution.

Before when I was wired, I just took out my IEMs and left them onstage along with my instrument.

I've never used this particular system, but the price is certainly affordable.

There are a variety of wireless in-ear solutions out there.

After searching around for a while I gave up on the wireless idea.  I bought the cord I linked from amazon above and am using it with a pair of apple earbuds.  Tried it with the band for the first time last night - I just put on earbud in my right ear and I hear the band through the stage monitors mostly through the other ear.  Worked great.

A friend of mine recently gave the Takstar WPM 100 a shot and it seemed to work well for what you're after. I've included the link below. I haven't used it personally, but it seems decent for the price when you consider the cost of something like a Shure PSM 200 setup. I've got a Line 6 HD500 myself and it's one of the most versatile Pods they've ever made. The headphone out is indeed a nice bonus.
