Regarding latency: although I love my AirPods and I do not miss the headphone jack, there’s one real application that I doubt will ever be adequate over Bluetooth: monitoring the audio while you’re playing electric guitar through an amp simulator on your phone. The tiniest amount of latency really stands out while you’re playing.


Haven't found a set of BT headphones that have acceptable latency for gaming, so I thing the latency a problem for any audio application that requires low-latency.


That, and playing rhythm games. No more Tap Tap Revenge.


similarly: wireless microphones for blogging.


Could you elaborate? Do you mean the latency for wireless microphones is unacceptable for dictation, or what?
