The latency while playing video cannot be compared with the one from when playing a game. When playing a video, the source (PC/smartphone) adds the delay from BT to the video itself - it basically syncs what you see with what you hear, based on the BT latency. When playing real-time content, like games, the PC cannot add a delay to what you see, hence why you will notice a delay.

    Having a headphone jack on a phone nowadays is a bliss for your pocket, and sound quality.

        these are the best, that can't be argued.
        but after 2 months of using them I can tell, the eartips won't last long. I have searched all over internet and have read reviews, I have no idea why noone has mentioned that.
        the medium ones fit for me but unfortunately they don't work with noise cancellation the way the large ones do. and The large eartips are ruined with just 2 months of use. so I have to replace them.

          I like high tech inside of them, but i dont like sound quality so much in low freq. To me one old senheiser momentum 1 is much more annyoyable to listen. Technics az60 is better too for that part and I like more sound from previous sony model xm3 and thinking this is a step back in audio quality department.

Mee Audio M6 pros.. 1more triple driver... Tin audio T3..meze 12 classics.. and the list is endless.. In over ear.. there is no competition.. In 100-150$ you can get some studio monitors that can beat any Bluetooth headphones in any budget.. Beyer dynamic.. ATH.. Sonys.. Philips.. Sennheiser's

              Anonymous, 12 Feb 2022Best earbuds ever. 10x better than Samsung's. 1... morebetter at noise cancellation.. everything else.. the Buds live are better .. and this is coming from a guy who owns multiple studio monitors

                You have to tweak the EQ in Sony's app to get the best sound for your liking. Many reviewers have said this.

                  I have the WF-1000XM4 for gym use. In my opinion the sound and noise cancelling are very, very good and the fit stays secure. Prefer to use airpods 3 for general use, walking around, shopping as i find those more comfortable for long term use.

                    "Have I heard better at a fraction of the cost from wired earbuds ? Absolutely"
                    ~GSMARENA
                    So what are the wired earphones that are cheaper and sound better ?
