AptX (even the non-LL one) is the only codec I know that has acceptable latency where it's even good enough for gaming.
Sony WH-1000XM3 had AptX, WH-1000XM4 does not and other latest generation ANC headphones also do not.
So headphones from 5 years ago are more useful than modern ones. Modern ones are so bad, if you stop a song you hear the song still playing a bit after you pressed stop.
Might this open sourcing increase the likelihood of acceptable-latency first-tier ANC headphones again?
Or are they still going to be like "open source is too open, let's keep using my own high latency proprietary codec anyway and add a few ancient even higher latency ones like SBC for compatibility"
- noname120 4y agoaptX LL has 40ms latency in the best conditions[1]. You should look into: – LLAC/LHDC LL: 30ms[2]. – BLE LC3: 7.5ms[3]. – BLE LC3Plus: 5ms[3].

- Aardwolf 4y agoI don't seem to find any modern first-tier ANC headphones support any of those (LLAC, LHDC, BLE LC3) either though...

I have similar observation. 3-5 years ago it was easier to find headphones with that support multiple codecs. Now aptx is kit always supported.
