Quick Answer

Bluetooth headphones are usually not the best choice for electric guitar practice because latency can make the notes feel late. Wired closed-back headphones are the safer first buy for a practice amp or audio interface.

If you already own Bluetooth headphones, test them. If the timing feels delayed, buy wired headphones instead of fighting the setup.
