Wireless headphones latency

[madshooter]

I'd like to buy wireless headphones, but I'm afraid of the latency. My friend has got some cheap ones and the latency was like a half of a second. What should I look for if I want an unnoticeable latency ? Thanks

Actual wireless (using wireless band). Those will come with a dongle you have to plug in to the device, typically. Otherwise, latency is an issue for Bluetooth, in general, but you'll fare better if you get Bluetooth 5.0, and your device(s) support 5.0.

And what about SBD, AAC, aptx ? I'm deciding between Marshall Major IV and Sennheiser HD 450BT. Sennheiser has all of them, Marshall has none. Do you think it will make a difference ?

It depends on the headphones/earphone. For example, my Airpods 2 has lesser latency than my Sony WF XM3 but that's only when using them for desktop with BT adapter.

 

For what will you wanna use wireless?

mostly watching movies, listening music and some casual gaming (WoT, Fallout 4, DOOM etc.)

If you are adament about wireless

1. Don't cheap out

2. Get something with 2.4 ghz connectivity

The only good wireless headset IMO that has even close to the sound of it's price  in the market right now is the audeze penrose. Everything else I've tried in the market their sound is not representative of the price

I'd like to use them with my phone as well, so 2,4 ghz isn't an option

if you can afford the Penrose it does both Bluetooth and 2.4 ghz this way you negate the latency issue for the most part and keep wireless connectivity with your phone
