Re: looking for Bluetooth headphones with the minimum amount of latency.
So it's quite confusing, and I guess there haven't been many third party tests to confirm this yet, but here's the deal with low latency on the Iphone.
Basically, no the Iphone doesn't support APTX LL, or even regular APTX. It has it's own codec called AAC, which apparently sounds a bit better in real world usage than APTX anyway, but has a medium amount of lag still, just like standard APTX.
However, things change on the Iphone 8 and X, because they support bluetooth 5. Which (on paper) reduces lag allot on it's own even if your using a regular codec.
So if you've got some bluetooth 5 headphones and a device that supports bluetooth 5, and your using a decent codec like APTX or AAC, then it (should) be almost as good as APTX LL is on versions of bluetooth below 5.
Which would be great, because apparently their are no phones or laptops that support APTXLL out of the box, meaning that you have to have an external adapter if you want to use it and that's kind of annoying.
But again reviews are mixed, and part of the confusion comes from the fact that phones automatically start video a little late so that the audio syncs up properly even if the codec is laggy, and that some phones/headphones may be implementing bluetooth 5 better than others, as it's still pretty knew.
So it's worth a try especially if you can get a good return policy so you can test it out for your self, but it's not a for sure thing.
