All 4 Apple laptops I've owned in recent years have had significant latency with my Sony WH-1000XM4's too. Like, sometimes over a full second. I have to regularly disconnect and reconnect to address.
And then Apple removed Bluetooth Explorer from Xcode 12, meaning I have no real way to even diagnose that on the newest macOS releases.
- philistine 4y agoDepending on what codec your headphones use when talking to a Mac, a mere second of latency is a good result. The only thing you can do is use apps like IINA which have delay features to allow you to account for the latency (I needed to use sound delay recently when watching a movie that fell off the back of a truck, even with Airpods). The future might be brighter, with Apple seemingly designing its own bespoke wireless sound standard to support uncompressed and latency-free headphones.

- dylan604 4y agoAt the risk of being conspiratorial, does this latency exist for Apple bluetooth devices?
- mingus88 4y agoThere's no conspiracy. Apple has their own proprietary bluetooth chips, the W1, and it pairs better with Airpods than with any other brand's headsets. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/what-is-apple-w1-bluetooth-chip-headphones-explained/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/what-is-apple-w1-bluetooth-...
