Reddit mentions of Avantree Priva III aptX Low Latency Bluetooth Audio Transmitter for TV PC (3.5mm AUX, RCA, PC USB Audio, NOT Optical) 100ft Long Range, Wireless Audio Adapter, Dual Link for Two Headphones, No Delay

Gaming requires low latency audio (at least for PC games like PUBG or CSGO). I don't think there is any BT headset on the market that can replace wired solutions ATM.

If you want a wireless solution close to wired, buy the FiiO BTR1 or any other decent aptX-LL (Low Latency) receiver and the Avantree Priva III or Avantree TC026 for aptX-LL audio.

The brain needs <100ms audio delay to make the audio synced with video, i.e., make the latency "disappear".


LDAC, AAC, SBC, aptX-HD and aptX all have >100ms latency which means that for most FPS games the audio will feel out of sync. aptX-LL has a latency of <40ms which is acceptable for gaming (although professional eSports players will probably notice the difference).
In some cases, AAC and aptX latencies do go below 100ms but it's not guaranteed unlike aptX-LL.


Also, mic audio over Bluetooth is bad for in-game chat. Bluetooth's outdated codec is good for 2G calls and nothing more. At least from my experience. It sounds worse than a 10 year old webcam mic for me.

For the mic, I would probably buy something like a modmic (with the short cable) and buy another aptX transmitter/receiver pair to transmit the mic audio to the PC.
Or a simple wired mic with an appropriate pickup pattern for my desktop setup.


aptX-LL does cost like $120+(the cost of mic&headphones) for a full fledged bi-direction stereo transmission, but I think it's worth it for multiplayer games.


With the added input lag of various peripherals and software, and the network latency - high audio latency is the last thing I would want.

Plug in a Bluetooth transmitter to the 3.5mm headphone output of the TV and you'll be able to connect any Bluetooth headphones. This is a great one - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5KKUR0/

Or for a cheaper approach, just get a super long 3.5mm cord and use wired headphones.

For ballin' on a budget you will want to look at headphones that have the Qualcomm® aptX™ LL codec. These have a latency of around 40ms (1 frame @ 24fps). You can get a pair off Amazon for around $60. I have tested these for an engineering project and they were the best bang-for-the-buck - https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Wireless-Bluetooth-Foldable-Headphones/dp/B01A0EAYDI. But any option that uses the same chipset and codec will work. Be wary - aptX HD is not low latency, and will incur a delay of around 150-200ms - too much for use with sync sound. You may also need an aptX LL transmitter, which you can buy for around $40 - https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B01N5KKUR0. Bonus is you can take this home and use for TV or other stuff where sync needs to be "close enough." Hook it up to your camera when you shoot and ditch the tether if the sound man doesn't have Comteks.

Other options include oldschool RF and 2.4G technologies, which tend to be more expensive or harder to find. Something like these Sennys should do the trick - https://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-headphones-home-audio-rs-175

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5KKUR0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can connect two bluetooth headsets to it.

I can speak from experience that the bluetooth quality on this one is phenomenal, but I'm by no means a bluetooth expert. haha

Sadly there arent any BT5.0 transmitters yet but I'd say the Avantree I linked is probably one of the best BT4.2 transmitters around.

No, hes right. The adapter is to connect a Bluetooth source to an aux input. OP wants to do it the other way, so connect a source to a Bluetooth output.

@OP: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01N5KKUR0/ref=psdcmw_1626220031_t1_B00NB4SN8I looks like what you’d need.

I just did something like this for my dad. It does have a Bluetooth transmitter, but it always connects for me and it runs off of USB so there no battery. Never have to turn the transmitter off.
Most important is there is zero sound delay(latency) I tried 3 different speakers and they were about 1/2-1 seconds behind the lip sync.
You can also connect 2 speakers at the same time.

There are some bluetooth transmitters that support two connections:

Avantree makes a bluetooth streamer with aptx and usb connectivity. https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B01N5KKUR0/ref=pd_day0_hl_147_4/147-1812237-3827345?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N5KKUR0&pd_rd_r=cdf98f4d-6844-11e9-afd4-2da01f345a74&pd_rd_w=YosI9&pd_rd_wg=WiSyc&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=H1M09ZAR6SYN5EKAWM2M&psc=1&refRID=H1M09ZAR6SYN5EKAWM2M

Your best bet is to get a splitter.

I use the Splatoon2 splitter, but this one works:

I use avantree Bluetooth headset, and the avantree 3.5 dongle to get wireless sound and chat with buddies through discord.

I’m using these:

Dongle:

It works great!

Here is a similar package together:

I use wireless headphones (Bluetooth). I use this guy for transmitting https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B01N5KKUR0/

​

At that point any headset that supports AptX will do best because of the low latency. Works fantastic with my Plantronics Bluetooth Headset (which supports the AptX codec). I also have an Avantree brand receiver which lets me plug in any wired headset and I often use that with a regular set of earbuds that I own.

​

As others have said, I have a separate mic to pickup my voice. There are a gajillion options out there depending on your needs. But getting something on a mic stand on your desk will give you the best results :).

Hmm, well I don't have anything against gaming equipment, but maybe try something like this with your bose?

This is their older model for a bit less:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N5KKUR0/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1

Sports aptX and is targeted at TV and PC users so that sounds about the right category

It works for me with PC, can't say for Mac. I highly recommend this product: https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Headphones-Micrphone-Handsfree/dp/B01LZRB8HJ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1486665478&sr=8-12&keywords=avantree paired with this: https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Headphones/dp/B00LAZ6RTW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1486665478&sr=8-10&keywords=avantree or this: https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Supported-Headphones/dp/B01N5KKUR0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1486665478&sr=8-7&keywords=avantree

I got one of these and it works pretty well for me. I'm hearing impaired and it helps me.


Avantree aptX LOW LATENCY... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5KKUR0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Second this. I got an aptx headphone last year and happy with it, it’s light, good build and sound quality, and good battery life:

The cool thing is that you can also buy an aptx low latency transmitter and have audio transmitted wirelessly to your headphone from any device (like from your TV, surround system, PC, etc...)

This uses aptx low latency technology, so there’s no lips delay when you watch a video.

Best bet would be to buy a BlueTooth transmitter which would support low latency audio like aptx.
