Hmmm. I wonder if A transmitter like this could be used with an iOS device to improve lag with Bluetooth devices. Does anchor make only one type of transmitter? Can you send a link to the list for the one you have? Thanks, Ari > On Mar 14, 2016, at 7:50 PM, Marie

Yes I have the LG 730 and they are currently the only BT headphones I use. I don't think you can get much quality sound without blocking some external noise. I do, however find an unacceptable lag on both my IPhone 6 and my ITouch. But I use a very tiny transmitter from Anker to send the signal

Hi Eric, Sorry, I just am not a bluetooth hi-fi expert. I think however that it's virtually impossible to get both a good hi-fi experience, and still allow environmental sound to be heard; so, I think you are stuck with either Aftershokz or to just use one ear when possible (like these
