Latency just still isn't there unfortunately

Fuckin' what? Is this meme 10 years old or what?

Have you used a wireless set of headphones lately?

With Bluetooth latency isn't an issue for media, but it's noticeable while gaming. But over 2.4GHz... there's no noticeable latency at all.

I'll never understand wireless keyboards. They just sit on the desk? Why go through the hassle of charging it?

You clearly haven't used wireless headphones in last 10 years, have you?

I really wish other PC guys would stop being like

"noooooo you don't understand there's a 10 millisecond lag time with wireless so it's LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE TRASH, no I don't care that's about 1/10th as long as it takes you to blink, I totally notice it and it ruins it for me!!!!!!"

It really seems like some people only get enjoyment from the idea of having the best possible version of something and being elitist about it. Rather than just enjoying their thing that plays games for what it is.

The latency isnt the issue for me. I just hate stuff that runs on batteries when cables work perfectly fine. Batteries will wear out faster than cables do. (Good cables at least) and this makes more e-waste.

Cables FTW

Wireless headsets are amazing. It is so nice to just be able to walk away from your desk while still hearing the video you were listening to

Wired best because i don't need to charge it and there is no possibility of signal jamming by operating a microwave.

Sennheiser GSP 370. I literally cannot tell if the have latency, and being Sennheisers they sound really nice, too.

But this particular pair beats one the big issue I've always had with wireless headphones, having to charge them... these have 100 hours of battery life.

I don't charge them for weeks. And when they do finally complain about low battery, you still have more than enough juice to finish that night of gaming, and one more, before actually plugging them in. Unless you leave them unused for months, or don't plug them in at the end of the session when they do get low, they are ALWAYS ready to be used.

Only issue I’ve ever had with wireless headphones is the ear piercing screech they do when the battery is running low

I use wireless headphones nearly exclusively now but hate wireless mice and keyboards....

The latency has been good for a while. The sound-quality has also caught up recently too with stuff like the Audeze Maxwell

For average wireless headphones, sure, but there are plenty of options without lag. Low Latency Bluetooth is a thing and so are 2.4ghz connections. I don't have issues with either

I really like my steelseries artics 7. Battery last so long, I sometimes forget when I last recharge them.

Also amazing reach, I can go anywhere in my house while keep on listening.

I use wired keyboard and mouse, because they're always in the same place and the cords don't bother me.

As long as you use headphones and a bluetooth adapter that both support APTX LL (low-latency), it's instantaneous for me. Same as using it wired.

My wireless headphones have a double battery meaning I never have to charge them. My wireless mouse and keyboard are always connected as they run out of battery to fast..

audio quality too, man the difference that I have experienced is night and day between my 80$ DUNU Titan S IEM and the 200$ Razer Opus 2021, the Opus is now mostly sitting collecting dust

Go watch Crinacle:)

The affordable stuff is usually cabled, so I use that.

You rich asses talking about latency, I'm just out here trying to keep gaming.

I use the Sennheiser Momentum 4 with no latency problems at all.

Although gaming is usually on speakers for me (Edifier) and that's all cables.

is this a common problem? I just use the same soundcore p3 earbuds for gaming or listening to music from my phone

I've got Nova Pro Wireless on my desk and they're fucking great. No noticeable latency and the sound is impressive too.

I am extremely rough with my headphones to the point that I'd always break the cable on wired headsets in a few months. Yeah, wireless isn't on par with wired headphones in every single way yet, but once I switched to Bluetooth, I was able to keep using my headphones for years at a time before the battery would give out. Add in that I can wander around freely with my headphones, and yeah, the latency is a pretty good tradeoff for my situation

my biggest issue with (my specific) wireless headphones is that the sound is shit when i am also using the mic. other than that, theyre fine

I learn this lesson about twice a year. One of these years that shit is going to be good.

The biggest issue imo is the microphone quality. Audio quality and latency have improved a lot over the years but so many wireless headsets still have garbage mic quality. The Logitech g pro lightspeed costs $250 and sounds worse than a $10 Webcam mic. I only went wireless after the razer blackshark 2023 came out. The microphone is by far the best mic I've heard in a wireless headset.

Ironically, if they were analog wireless, thered be no latency at all

Wireless Mice and Wireless Keyboard are a no for me.

Not because of latency, but because of the annoyance of needing to charge them.

I technically have a wireless mouse, that I just keep wired perpetually.

Wireless sounds nice because it's clean, but it's terrible to use because of the nature of a battery being finite.

I wish they made open wireless. I know you lose quality in wireless but I love the sound stage.

Hm. The only wireless thing on my gaming engine are the headphones, because I stepped over the cables a few times

Is this on Linux or Windows? Haven't noticed anything on Linux...

I love my wireless headphones but they have fallen so many times that the left one is completely useless.

I play rhythm games on PC. I use ASIO4ALL to bypass any kind of audio processing being done by my OS to reduce audio latency as much as possible, and I do research before even attempting to buy any monitor. I got a Logitech Z407 for my birthday and even using the audio jack it introduces enough audio lag (~3ms) that I went back to play on wired headphones.

Wait, you're still using BT 4.0? In 2023?
