Not great, but should allow phone conversations without too much fatigue.

- jeromegv 6y agoYep, they made up that 500ms number.
- eropple 6y agoI didn't realize the latency on AirPods was that bad. That actually explains a lot of the difficulties I have with phone calls on them. (One of my hats is "audio engineer", and two people on AirPods plus transmission delay has to get up into the 350-450ms range, and that definitely is fatiguing given that my ears are always cued to this.) Back to holding my phone against my face, I guess.
- friday99 6y agoYeah, this is crazy that Apple is only using AAC for their codec and not anything like aptX that can get down to 50ms range. I would expect Apple to do better here and even have different low latency codec specifically for voice calls.
