    Barely noticeable while gaming. Rhythm games for sure, but otherwise my biggest complaint is that all 2.4ghz headphones are “gaming” headphones. Not many low latency high end options.

      Every rhythm game worth its salt has visual offset nowadays so its not an issue

        Unfortunately, my game is not a rhythm game. I basically can’t tell which of my shots hit the target. If I shoot 3 times in 300ms, I don’t hear the first shot until I click the second time, so if I miss the first shot, it sounds like I missed the second shot, it’s very jarring

      Sennheiser headphones support AptX low latency. 40ms is very good for most uses. And you can plug them if you need.

        It doesn’t compare since 2.4gh, is half at 15-20ms of latency. Though since I primarily play rhythm games, I like my headphones wired anyways.
