    How common is it that they don’t have that? because it’s a long time since I had latency issues in years of Bluetooth headphones. Anker, Phillips, Sennheiser, Shokz, all sub $100 headphones and I haven’t had latency.

      Maybe you happened to have low latency phones, but in my experience the low latency is explicitly marketed somewhere in the product description or on the packaging. I believe there are also different low latency technologies. For example, the 1Mii dongle and both of my wireless headphones use aptX technology.

      To be clear, you’re saying you’ve watched videos and/or played video games with all your old headphones and never noticed any latency?

        Yes - videos. I don’t recall latency problems since many years ago with some cheapo external speakers. FWIW I just tried a latency test on Youtube to check (currently on Shokz) and it seemed good. Frankly I have no idea if some low latency tech is being automatically used but I certainly didn’t take any steps to ensure it was (Ubuntu, these days using Pipewire).
