Ok i watched the whole video about it. I got a Raycon today for Christmas. It works extremely well but my problem is when im gonna play games like Dragonball Z Dokkan Battle and Dragonball Legends the audio is lagging and not matching with the game. KZbin and other app are fine. But when im playing with the game is lagging. My phone is a Lg k40 and the raycon are e55

[@HandyHudsonite]

Thanks for sharing your issue here. Have you tried the Metronome app for Android where you can adjust latency?

[@spoodystk]

@@HandyHudsonite there is a lot of metronome apps that i don't know which to pick. So i need recommendations which is the better one to pick. The first ever one is by Soundbrenner

[@HandyHudsonite]

SpoodySTK恕音 Definitely. Search out "The Metronome by Soundbrenner" on Google Play. That's the app used for latency. Also, you can search out "How to Adjust the Audio Latency on Android" - there's a good article on how to use it.

I got a new Galaxy A51 for my birthday. I only have bluetooth issues. When I want to play a game with my galaxy buds or any other bluetooth speaker/headphone the sound always comes with a delay, so if I tap on something the sound will come a bit after I tapped. the Soundbrenner MEtronome didn´t help :( I don´t want to send it back when I could fix it. Can you help me out?

[@angelofmusic477]

Lots of folks do not fully understand low latency Bluetooth aptx. For the user to enjoy full low latency ,both the sender(transmitter) and the receiver ( headphone, speaker) must be low latency (aptx). Don't just go out and buy a aptx headphone ,you need to check if the blue tooth device in your phone or TV are also aptx compatible. I use to design low latency Bluetooth headset and transmitter.

[@Sweeps]

Only problem is with something like garageband. The touch-to-noise is slightly off with airpods, but it’s quite noticeable.

[@HandyHudsonite]

Yes, certain apps are worse than others - it just depends how they've built in the codecs. Just make sure the software is up to date. You could also test your AirPods on another device with Garageband to see if it gives you the same problem.

@@HandyHudsonite i gave my headphones to a friend to test them for a week. i am expecting his answer and see if he's experiencing any problems.. my guess right now is that the headphones have Bluetooth 5.0 and phone has only 4.0, what do you think ?

[@HandyHudsonite]

@@Turnivor That could be the case - the mismatch can create those type of issues. It's best if they do carry the same BT technology. Also, other hardware components in the phone may lead to these problems too if they are older and not as fast as newer ones. Let me know what your friend discovers. I just posted a new video about some lower cost earbuds that have excellent latency, so your issue is probably related to the phone and not the headphones.

Hmmm. It could be a discrepancy with the way the gaming apps were developed and the Android OS. Have you tried with an external Bluetooth speaker, does that produce the same lag?

I use Sony MDR1000X Bluetooth headphones which can be used corded as well. I use OnePlus 7 Pro android, and I notice for game apps like rhythm games like BanG Dream (バンドリ) the coming notes are perfectly synced to the song at default 0 calibration in game settings when it's corded and through phone speakers but the latency is off beat when it's on Bluetooth mode like the notes are coming later than actual starting point of the song which sounds off time by a lot

[@HandyHudsonite]

That's an interesting observation. I was aware of those headphones where you could use them both corded and with Bluetooth. Have you tried the Metronome app (The Metronome by Soundbrenner) that I've mentioned to other people in the comment thread? You can adjust latency in that app which could help with your Bluetooth lag on those headphones.

Bottle neck for lag will be which of your devices is using old or crap codec. Have a new shiny pair of BT 5.0 headphones that support aptx low latency but the $10 bluetooth USB dongle on your PC is 10 years old? Get a transmitter that supports the fast codec your headphones use. Or vice versa, you get the idea.

[@HandyHudsonite]

Great advice, Jonathan! Good idea on the transmitter. Thanks for watching.

[@DaniellianGaming]

The best way around this that I found is to find a wireless USB headset (kinda like the one you showed in the video, but wireless, and has a USB port to plug into a PC or something), and take an OTG adapted to plug into your charging port of your phone, and stick the USB in there. Best alternative to Bluetooth headphones I've discovered, however, you will need to unplug it if you want to charge your phone in any way. The benefits of this were sound quality, volume, and almost zero latency. I could play something on my phone in real time and have no noticeable latency issues doing this. I'd give it a try.

@@HandyHudsonite it didnt work either with other devices

[@HandyHudsonite]

​@@itzgeoro3500 Sorry to hear that they didn't work on other devices also. It's possible that the i7s don't support a Codec called "aptX Low Latency" which helps to minimize the latency (or lag) of your audio. I did find a link that shows what headphones/earbuds are supported for your phone, if you want to look over that list (bluetoothcheck.com/d/huawei-y6-2018/accessories). Other than that, you could try some methods to try to minimize the lag like: Making sure your software is updated (OS & Apps), minimize other Bluetooth interference from other devices, minimize the distance you are from your device, etc. If you have another Bluetooth headset, you could test that with your Huawei phone and see if it produces the same problem. I know BT issues can be frustrating, but just keep pressing ahead with your research and testing to see what's going to work best for you.

Depends on the type of headphones/earbuds you have. Also, the device you're connecting to. If either of them do not feature good low latency codecs, you'll experience issues especially if there are other BT devices nearby. Can even experience interference from your router.

I have 1st Gen Jaybird Run. Audio syncs perfectly the video on Android but not with Windows 10. Any tips on how do I use them with my surface pro?

[@HandyHudsonite]

That's a great question, Manan. However, a difficult one to address here in the comments. Basically, what it comes down to are the specs for your Surface Pro. The latency default is set in Windows 10 (~1.3ms). However, your audio driver will be the one that controls buffer size and then you have the processor limitations. Also, the Jaybirds are older earbuds so they're probably operating with slower BT than today's 5.0+ versions so that will also have an effect. Do you get any better results when you're using different applications on your Surface Pro? (i.e. KZbin vs Media Player vs. Gaming, etc.) I apologize that there is no easy answer here, but if you do some investigating you might be able to improve the latency problem. For example, if you're technically savvy, consider this driver that has helped some eliminate larger latency issues in Windows 10 (www.thewindowsclub.com/sound-delays-lags-and-audio-latency-in-windows-10). As for your Android device, I'm not sure why it performs well with your earbuds. Is it a newer Android? Thanks so much for watching and for your question.

[@lizaheart9595]

Thanks for the tips, but unfortunately none of these help me. I don't have a pair of wired headphones and the latency is only clear in game apps. I have a game called Geometry Dash which requires timing your taps to the music, but the lag is far too much to make the game playable. If it helps, I'm using a brand new set of Panasonic BT headphones. Also, about the not having wired headphones, even if I did, this phone is a heavily used one with something stuck in the aux jack. If there is anything I can do, let me know! Thanks.

[@drumspirit6395]

So what is the answer? I am using MPOW H19 IPO headphones on my PC and it is lagging.

[@HandyHudsonite]

Most low-cost Bluetooth headphones are going to have latency issues. They don't have the higher end codecs that reduce latency issues. Also, factor in what Windows version you have on your computer, your Bluetooth receiver on the PC. There are many factors that play into latency. So, in short, to get minimal latency you need headphones that support AAC, or aptX Low Latency. You need to ensure that the Bluetooth receiver is up to date and can handle the higher transfer rates. Finally, the software you're using needs to support these codecs as well. Hope this can help.

What about fixing latency when connecting headphones to a computer? (on PC right now but have a mac too)

You'll need to evaluate a couple of things: 1) Make sure your OS is up to date 2) Make sure any applications you're using to listen to audio are also updated 3) Make sure the OS Bluetooth firmware is also up to date 4) What is the Bluetooth firmware on your headphones? (4.0, 4.2, 5.0?) If you're connecting a newer version of BT-enabled device to an older PC or Mac that could present issues. How far from the PC are you using the headphones? Are there other BT devices nearby that could be creating interference? Particular software programs or apps may not be developed to fully support the type of BT device you're using. One other thing you could try is connecting the headphones to a different PC or Mac to see if you get the same latency problem. I hope this can give you some guidance with this.

Besides those speakers, whenever I watched videos (on the phone) while parked, my car stereo never seemed to have that issue. My job is scaling trash of customers and throw them into containers. A lot of time can pass without a customer showing up. That's why I watch videos in between. That's why I was looking for a solution. Because that does bother me.

I received some AirPods Pro and they have worse latency on my new iPhone 11 than they did on my android. Does anyone know why this is?

[@HandyHudsonite]

Sorry to hear you're having this issue, Eddie. Did you update to the latest firmware on your AirPods Pro? They recently updated the firmware. Also, make sure your apps and the iOS on your iPhone are updated also. It helps to test on another iPhone (preferably on an 11) to see if you're having the same issue to see if it's the AirPods or the phone. Hope this helps you out.

[@cosbronaut4405]

Handy Hudsonite my phone is running the latest firmware, this audio delay is through every app I have. I am unsure on how to update my AirPods though. Is there any way to update it manually? Or do I have to wait until it updates automatically?

I recently bought a Logitech 5.1 system with bluetooth and I hoped to be able to watch youtube/play games on my phone and laptop using this system via bluetooth but the latency is just too large (about a sec or more). Is there any fix for that?

[@HandyHudsonite]

Alex, thanks for your question. I'm sorry you're experiencing that lag with the Logitech system. Can you give me a little more detail so I can see how to help? What laptop are you using? Mac or PC? What type of phone? iPhone or Android? Also, which model of Logitech? If you can let me know the models that would help even more so I know how to respond. Thanks for watching this.

[@alex19121995]

@@HandyHudsonite Thank you for responding! The system is Logitech z607 5.1, the laptop I use is a two year old ASUS (I don't remember the exact name) and my phone is OnePlus3. I noticed today that the further away I am form the subwoofer, the greater the latency. When I am next to the subwoofer the latency is almost unnoticeable but when I am in the other corner of the room the latency is about 1sec (just like the one you did at 0:05 ). This example is tested with my phone. The laptop is always near the subwoofer but the latency is a little bit greater than on the phone when it's also close.

[@HandyHudsonite]

Alex, thanks for giving me more info. Regarding your ASUS, you could make sure that the Bluetooth drivers are updated. If you have an Intel chip you could try investigating their download portals to see if there are any updates (Search out: Intel® Driver & Support Assistant). Do you know what version of Bluetooth your laptop has? (4.2, 5,0, etc.?). A slight mismatch in version could also cause some issues. Your phone issue might be a result of it having older Bluetooth technology (Probably 4.0 or 4.1) - that model released in June 2016. The Logitech speakers you have are 5.1 Bluetooth so that mismatch could be resulting in your audio lag. There is an app for Android that allows you to adjust latency. You could try it and see if it helps at all with your phone (Search out The Metronome by Soundbrenner). Other than these tips, make sure all of your OS is updated on your laptop and phone (and your apps are all updated). If you haven't restarted your laptop or phone in a while try doing that to see if it makes any difference. Discovering BT issues is detective work, just keep performing small tests and tweaks and research out the issues. Let me know what happens and if there are any other ways I can help out.

[@alex19121995]

​@@HandyHudsonite Thank you for all the useful information! I am doing the driver check right now. About the Bluetooth version, my phone and the speakers have Bluetooth 4.2 so the app should fix it and the laptop has 4.0 and i guess that's the main cause of the latency. I have a bigger issue that is not related to Bluetooth and I wonder if you cold give me some tips on how to fix it. After I start watching a video on my laptop, after about 15-20 min (and sometimes even less) the same audio-video latency comes in. It doesn't matters what source I use: BSPlayer, Windows Media Player, VLC and even youtube making me unable to watch movies anymore. This problem dates from about one year ago and a windows reinstall used to solve it for a while but now it does not help anymore. My laptop is an ASUS R510VX and it runs on Intel Core™ i7-6700HQ 2600 MHz, 8GB DDR4, nVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 950M 4GB. A build that lets me play some pretty demanding games with no problem whatsoever, the video-audio latency occurring only when playing videos/movies. I searched a long time for a fix but no one seems to have this problem or I don't know how to search so if you could help me with a tip on how to fix it or an advice on how to search for it I would be forever grateful. Thank You!

[@HandyHudsonite]

You’re welcome. Glad you discovered those differences. Regarding the latency on your video playback, it is possible your video card might be to blame. Try watching videos with your dedicated “on board” driver and see if the issue goes away. You could also investigate the Nvidia settings to see if there are any audio delay adjustments. Is your GeForce Cards’s driver software up to date? I’ll let you know if I think of any other ideas.

How about for gaming?

[@HandyHudsonite]

It depends what device you're using? And what the gaming apps are? There are so many factors that contribute to Audio Latency - the codecs in the software for the games, the OS, the firmware for the headphones/earbuds you're using. You want to make sure all of these are updated to the latest version. It also pays to test out your headphones on other devices to see if you're experiencing latency in the same way, or it could be the issue of the device you're headphones are connected to.

Make sure your Android OS is up to date and apps are all updated. Then unpair the earbuds and try again to see if you get the same issue. If so, it could be something that will hopefully be updated on that phone.

Thanks for letting me know. It's possible the BT technology in the headphones is older or not of great quality, causing the issue. Could also be the phone. Are you able to connect the headphones to another device to test if you get the same issue? That would help you narrow down whether it was the headphones causing the problem.

Ok, just make sure the iPad has the latest iOS. You could try restarting the iPad. You could also "Forget the device" for your headphones and pair them again, sometimes that's enough to get them synced better.

Here , Bluetooth Plays in Perfect Sync ! Moto One 5G ace with LG SLM5Y Soundbar . Computer has Bluetooth 4.0 , and plays with perfect sync to the LG SLM5Y soundbar . Here is a setup that has sync issues : moto One 5G ace with "SoundLogic XT Twins" , speakers . These speakers are said to have BT 5.0 However, they are most likely using a generic codec , cause there is noticable sync and the phone seems to be doing extra number crunching while playing videos. also , the above computer plays with sync issues to the Soundlogic XT Twins , speakers . Obviouslly these speakers are the issue . Conclusion : having the latest version of BT 5.0 or 5.1 or 5.2 isn't necessary , as BT 4.0 works just fine . What is needed is both devices need to be using an efficient high quality codec ,... such as LDAC or aptx LL . Unfortunately , manufactures Never list the BT codecs in their products , leaving us , the Consumer in the dark ,... We don't actually know what we are getting when we purchase their product.

The latency from using Bluetooth is because of wireless being slower(duuuhh). So there is nothing to do to minimize that directly that I know of. Downloading stuff before playing it will reduce the latency caused by the download time, but not the latency due to wireless. The combined latency will be better because you improve one of the causes but not the latency caused by Bluetooth. What did you mean when you said "natively". What does natively mean in the context that you used it? I know what it usually refers to but not the way you used it. I'm always wanting to learn new things and ways of using words and expressions so that I understand what someone means when they use an expression in a way I am not used to. Thanks for the video. I found it a bit drawn out but that's just my taste. Some people prefer it that way.
