If someone tries the Avantree (thanks, Al!) headset, please estimate or
measure the latency for receive audio. The spec sheet says nothing
about an actual number, even though the banner adindicates Low Latency.
Without an actual number, that is pretty worthless. Most consumer
electronics specs are similar, so no big surprise.
A few years ago, I surveyed the field for BT headsets. Because most
headsets are designed for high-quality audio, their latency can be
crazy-high. There were only a few manufacturers that targeted
communications (think hands-free phoneor HTheadsets), but their products
were crazy-expensive> It's likely thatthe usecases were government /
law enforcement.
Thanks,

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?
