Not sure if the article mentions it or not due to paywall, but wireless earphones are still useless for anything which is latency sensitive e.g. music making/playing a virtual instrument, and I would guess some categories of games.
The last product I worked on was a piano learning app where the user’s mobile device generated the sound of the piano, and we had to explain to users that unfortunately they couldn’t use their AirPods/other wireless headphones with the app due to this lag. IIRC it was around 200ms for AirPods, and all the way up to 500ms for other brands, though I may be misremembering.
