I'm no expert, but getting Bluetooth wireless phones and.or buds to work with sufficiently low latency is (based on my limited experience/research) dependent upon BOTH the BT version/capability (hardware AND software) in BOTH the phones/buds AND the BT receiver/transmitter in your device (laptop/desktop, et al).

I DO know that even my very nice and up to date Jaybird earbuds which are awesome for music, et al.  do not work with sufficiently low latency on my Dell E6540 Laptop with the Intel Wireless AC and Bluetooth card I am using.... I suspect it is a problem with the BT implementation used by the slightly long in the tooth Intel BT card...

Looking through the archive, I didn’t find much info about what units people 
are using.  I did, however, notice several caveats about the latency of 
Bluetooth headphones, especially for CW.

It looks like there are now several BT headphones on the market that claim to 
have low latency, which may or may not be suitable for amateur radio use. Of 
course, an external BT transmitter would have to be plugged into the rig’s 
headphone jack.

One item that looks promising is the Avantree unit:

Has anyone tried this or something similar?
