That must be subjective then because I spent about 15 minutes in an Apple Store with the Airpods and noticed the lag instantly, it was probably as good as bluetooth lag gets, but my Voyager Edge and a couple of other bluetooth device I have are no different. In my case the Plantronics Backbeat Sense were so bad that I packed them right back up and returned them which was easy as I had bought them from Amazon. That was about over a year ago so maybe they have done something to the current generation which makes it better. I rarely use a bluetooth keyboard so this terrible lag was using the onscreen keyboard and I would say it was at least a three quarter second, that is absolutely too much to be acceptable. I have yet to try any bluetooth device with no lag, the technology at this point is such that a 0 lag device simply does not exist.
