Possible to have zero or close to zero latency with bluetooth earbuds on PC?

[Altaren]

Tired of playing shooters or other action games with full size headphones and i'm wondering if its possible to get a good wireless experience with earbuds. I'm currently using Sennheiser TW Momentum 3 with a somewhat generic BT 5.0 usb adapter (something like this).

Trying to google this i only run into people with delay and severe latency issues and no actual way to completely remove latency.

Is such a thing even possible, maybe with a better bluetooth adapter or something else?

Bluetooth will always have noticeable latency. Iirc it’s around 100 to 150ms and If you were playing a game at 144fps, that would mean 25 frames of delay. I remember some protocols with lower latency (aptX LL) BUT I am not sure if you can make use of that on PC.

So its impossible then for now. I expected as much, just couldnt find that confirmation online. Thanks

On windows extra latency is added due to windows bluetooth being just miserable.

 

Aptx does make it a lot better but its basically not functional.

 

Logitech now has those gamer earbuds for a very high price for something that'll have a dead battery in 2-3years
