Wireless latency is consistently highlighted as best-in-class for gaming, with the HyperSpeed Gen-2 link and 10ms mode described as effectively instant and ideal for competitive shooters. A common tradeoff noted is higher power draw when the ultra-low-latency mode is enabled, so some users may disable it to extend battery life without feeling much lag.
Latency is reported as well controlled in at least one video test, with no noticeable audio-video sync issues. Broader cross-review evidence is limited, but nothing flags major lip-sync problems.
Audio/video sync is generally strong within Apple’s ecosystem, and Apple’s Vision Pro mode is specifically positioned as a major latency reduction for immersive viewing. Outside that use case, latency is typical of mainstream Bluetooth earbuds rather than a gaming-specialized solution.
LE Audio and the USB C dongle keep latency low for fast paced games, maintaining tight audio video sync so footsteps and effects track closely with on screen action across supported devices.
Reported latency is low enough for video calls, gaming, and video watching, with no widespread lip-sync complaints. This is treated as a performance strength for mixed media use.
Video playback is generally well synchronized over Bluetooth with little perceived lip-sync delay, and wired digital use can eliminate latency entirely when supported.
Latency is generally well-controlled for video and gaming when Game Mode is used, with reports of minimal noticeable delay in mobile games. Enabling low-latency modes may trade off range in some scenarios.
Video playback is generally well synchronized with little noticeable lag, and low-latency or gaming modes (when available) help keep streaming and mobile games in sync.
Real-world video watching is generally reported as free of distracting delay, with several reviewers describing latency as not noteworthy for movies or streaming. One review still acknowledges some lag is conceivable over Bluetooth, so those sensitive to sync (or gaming) may prefer a wired connection.
Audio/video sync feedback is mixed: some note a small delay with certain codecs (such as SBC/LDAC), while others report effectively zero lag on iPhone use; LC3/low-latency settings can help where available.
Latency is generally low enough for video and casual gaming, and low-latency modes are referenced in several reviews. Achieving very low latency figures may require a third-party Bluetooth dongle, and competitive gamers may still notice delay.
Latency is generally low enough for video when using AAC or aptX Adaptive, and some reviewers recommend those modes specifically to reduce lag. Results can still vary across Android phones and apps, so audio-video sync is usually good but not perfectly uniform.
A low-latency or gaming mode is available to reduce delay for video and games; most coverage notes the feature rather than providing measured latency numbers.
A low-latency gaming mode (often cited around sub-80ms) improves lip-sync for video and casual gaming, though some latency can remain for rhythm-sensitive apps.
A dedicated gaming/low-latency mode is commonly cited around sub-80ms latency, improving lip-sync for video and casual gaming. Some reviewers still notice a bit of delay, but it’s meaningfully better than typical Bluetooth latency.
Gaming/low-latency options exist, but reviews are mixed on how noticeable the improvement is; it’s generally adequate for casual video and mobile gaming rather than competitive play.
On the 2.4GHz dongle, sync is well-suited to gaming, but at least one reviewer noted more noticeable lag and weaker impact when using Bluetooth for games and video.
