    If you use the gamingest headphones with proprietary dongles, you can get decent latency. But then you’re sacrificing on sound quality, comfort, and/or ANC, and if you have multiple devices you want to use them with (eg a console and a PC), you have to either physically move the dongle between them, or suffer with Bluetooth lag and connection hassles on one of them.

    Bluetooth is still bullshit in terms of latency. It will get better with LE Audio, but whether it will get good enough is anyone’s guess, and it’s still in its infancy and support is almost non-existent.

      I wouldn’t consider Audio-Technica anywhere “gaming” related, can be pricey though.

      I have a ATH-G1WL (wireless) and ATH-AVA400 (wired) and cannot hear any difference in sound quality what-so-ever, except the 3m cable I have to fiddle with now, which I also have to physically move when changing devices.

      Bluetooth also sucks for mice and keyboard, so yeah…
