      Couldn’t believe it at first and thought mine was a defective pair. The delay is atrocious

          Yep, but as someone pointed out those were $300 at launch. I know they’re not meant for gaming and reading about latency issues seems like a 1st world problem to me because my older Bluetooth headset had lower latency.

          Come to think of it, I don’t even remember which pair they were but it would’ve been under $100 with some BT dac maybe

      That’s not a gaming headphone. A proper gaming headphone have near zero latency, you can even play rhythm games with it. Usually it will come with it’s own wireless dongle and doesn’t use Bluetooth at all.

        I bought headphones with aptxLL, only to find out that newer Qualcomm chipsets have depricared it in favor of aptx adaptive. It’s not backward compatible and at the time there wasn’t a single adaptive set of headphones on the market. I would either have to buy a >4 year old phone or get a new pair of overpriced headphones to use it now.

      I have xm4 and have absolutely 0 problems with it. I feel like unless you’re an actual pro gamer or a sweaty elitist it makes no difference.

        Gaming is the far from what they were designed for. When listening to music or whatever you couldn’t care less about a delay.
