Tried many BT transmitters, even went into $100 ranges - none are worth it and the delays are easily noticed. I wanted to see if any of these even came close to Sienheisser RF wireless headphones that I had, unfortunately, none did. I ended up buying another set of the good old Seinheisser RF headphones.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

KZbin on Android has been really bad the last six months or so for apparent latency. I don't think it is latency, I think it's the app on Bluetooth. I can watch other video apps and have no issues (downloaded or streaming)... But it's the. KZbin app itself, it just always gives a quick stutter and goes out if syncs but about half a second.

[@HandyHudsonite]

Thanks for letting me know about this.

[@enscroggs]

What a long-winded discourse without any specific advice. I think Handy Hudsonite is somewhat offbase in his concentration on "upgrade your device". In fact, I'm pretty sure that my Bluetooth audio problems are directly related to Windows 10 and not my hardware. My hardware is a hackintosh, it dual-boots macOS 10.15.7 Catalina and Windows 10 Pro 20H2 on exactly the same hardware: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B365M-DS3H CPU: Core i7-9700K RAM: 32 GB Video: AMD Radeon RX-570 There's no Bluetooth capability native to the MB, so I'm using an IOGear BT 4.0 USB dongle. This device is intended for Windows and Linux only. IOGear officially does not support Apple devices or macOS. Yet, my BT speaker pairs and works perfectly when running the machine under Catalina. However, when running under Windows 10 the audio sucks (pardon my French) -- it lags, staggers, and sputters -- totally unusable. Microsoft has dropped the ball when it comes to BT -- badly. In fact, it seems to be basic incompetence on Microsoft's part. If Apple's operating system (and every Linux I've used) can handle the simplest Bluetooth technology, i.e. one-way data transfer, perfectly on hardware Apple does even support, then it stands to reason that Windows 10, an OS that's purported to be virtually universal is at fault.

[@nomaschalupas2453]

No, windows have so many builds and customizable. You have to make sure your pc is compatible if not you do have to upgrade at the least the Bluetooth hardware in the pc. If you only buy what stores have on shelf and not build ur own. It’s ur own fault for not making sure you buy the product that fits ur needs because windows pcs are not all thousands of dollars and only sell products that can not be customized besides the color and memory. They are the software and what your problem is most likely hardware. You can’t upgrade last gen hardware with current gen software and updates.

[@Dnizzle25]

Thank you Handy Hudsonite you helped me figure out what my issue on my bluetooth gaming on pc using a BT receiver is and now after going back and reviewing the specs on the PC BT being 5.3 and the receiver being BT 5.1 now I see why there is latency! Now when I use that small bose BT speaker something higher quality there is no latency.

[@T.T.inVA777]

Thank You. I viewed at least a dozen other KZbin videos before I watched yours. Finally you fixed my Audio Latency immediately. My problem was using an older cellphone with 2 newer Bluetooth speakers. Tried to sync them again using a later model wireless phone and it worked flawlessly. Again. Thanks.

[@nguyenangtuandung2745]

I have an AX200 wifi card. I connect to both my wifi and bluetooth device. I already connected my PC with 5Ghz band. The stuttering is still there, but not as bad as when I connect the pc to 2.4Ghz. One thing to note here is that my mouse (which also connects via bluetooth, but it has an external dongle) is not lagging or stuttering at all. Should I buy external bluetooth dongles for my keyboard and my headset?

Hey can u please help me I just got new airpods 2 for my Samsung galaxy A51 an Di changed developer settings and stuff but it keeps lagging😔

[@HandyHudsonite]

Thanks for your question. It seems others have had Bluetooth issues with the A51. Do you have the latest Android OS installed? It's hard to know if you're experiencing OS issues or with the actual BT hardware in the phone itself. Have you tried connecting your AirPods to another device to see if you experience the lag? AirPods are very good with low-latency so I doubt they're the issue.

[@kenjihhx]

@@HandyHudsonite yes I have the latest version of Android and I connected them with my sisters iPhone and they worked fine so its in my phone guess

[@HandyHudsonite]

It could be issues with the BT hardware then. Every device can vary in the way it handles BT and the codecs it supports. I have knockoff over-the-ear headphones that used to lag really bad when connected to my iPhone, but since the last Apple iOS update they've been working perfectly with almost no noticeable lag between video and audio. I don't know if Apple updated some codec in the the release or what. It's possible you may experience the same thing with a particular future Android OS update/fix. Bluetooth is super convenient, but very frustrating as many of the issues are not necessarily fixable by us but depend upon codecs, hardware, etc.

How to fix Audi A4 2016 Bluetooth lagging issue? I have iPhone X

[@XChristianNoirX]

The big problem is with cars, when you can update the car's Bluetooth and the stereo is old.. And you can't replace it. There should be video/audio sync correction built into android that has sticky settings for each Bluetooth device. If that's not possible, apps like KZbin should have this functionality built-in. Not having this capability is literally stupid.

I have 0,5 sec delay with my Minipod speakers (bt4.0, aptx, tws) when connected to a windows pc. I have wasted days, but it wont work in stereo - only mono. On my Android 10 phone (or iphone) they work in stereo without delay. :s Confusing! (If I hook it up via toslink optical or aux - the delay is the same) Here is a tip for android or ios users: make sure to turn off every other BT device in range (bt mouse, bt dongle on pc etc..) so you only have eg. your earbuds and phone turned on. If you have multiple BT devices running they can interfere and also cause a delay. This was in my case at least. It did not solve the delay on pc though, so if you have any ideas please share. (tried cmr 4.0, creative bt 4.2 and omnitronic transciever bt5.0) Also searching for a new TV hoping that it will connect via bluetooth without this nightmare, but I fear it will be the same.

There may be different dependencies other than just Bluetooth version, but, there is an audio lag when listening and watching a video on the laptop while there is no lag watching on the phone. I'm looking at the Device Manager of Windows, and the Bluetooth driver of my headphones is dated 2006 - a bit off considering Bluetooth 5 came out 2016. Anyway, neither Windows website nor headphones manufacturer's website got newer driver for download. I guess that's the roadblock.
