RE: Latency with using Bluetooth earbuds
Thanks all. I am guessing the latency on this pair of earbuds is on the better side, but I’m not going to rush out and buy another pair now for comparison. The main reason I got the Bluetooth is because I kept burning through wired earbuds where the connections just broke down. I’ll probably buy another pair of wired earbuds and use those when I know I’m going to be typing and leave the Bluetooth primarily for reading and listening to podcasts.
