This is very interesting, i'm going to check the net about it. So you think that i can add let's say my Sennheiser Amperior Bluetooth functionality?

Edit: Now i researched a bit... it could be a temporal solution for a semi high end audio. Just have to make sure the receiver you pick is BT 4.2 and aptX enabled. But in my case won't work because when one of Apple devices is in the equation it will work with AAC as Apple just only works with AAC and no aptX that is propietary to other systems as Windows. So if you purchase an aptX Bluetooth receiver to make your headphone wireless with your Apple computer it won't stream at the good quality but very low audio quality called SBC. You need to look for/ find a Bluetooth receiver that is compatible with both AAC and aptX if your using with an Apple device.

Here is more info:

In my case i need an AAC compatible Bluetooth receiver that i can plug into my Sennheiser Amperior headphones to get a quality that is fair to my headphones. Searched a bit and only found one in Amazon compatible with AptX Low Frequency and AAC, problem is form/shape is squared and heavy so no way i can attach that to my headphones. The type inteneded to plug into the headphones has not been created in AAC compatible yet. But anyways if you have a Windows 10 PC you wouldn't have this problem as most Win machines are compatible with aptX, that is almost same quality as AAC.
