RE: Apple wireless EarPods

[John J. Fioravanti, Jr.]

I tried them a few weeks ago and there was no lag time. I sent them back 
because they did not fit firmly in my ears.

Hello List, I was wondering for those who use the Apple wireless EarPods, how 
is typing using them? I know that using Bluetooth and typing on a virtual 
keyboard is sluggish at best. Any input is greatly appreciated.

RE: Apple wireless EarPods

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You won’t notice any lag with bluetooth keyboards, it’s when you use the 
onscreen keyboards where bluetooth earpieces show their limitations. I know 
some of you say it doesn’t exist with your Voyager Edge or your Airpods or 
whatever other fancy headset or earpiece you have, but I have tried many over 
the years, I have a Voyager Edge and while the lag is not horrible, it’s 
noticeable. I tried Airpods at an Apple Store with the same result, it’s just 
the nature of the beast. Maybe when Apple releases new Airpods next year with 
Bluetooth 5.0 support and a new W2 chip they finally get past that. Until then 
one other observation I have made is that just because a headset or speaker is 
new and uses a higher version of Bluetooth such as 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2 that does 
not automatically mean it has less lag than say a Bluetooth 2.1 or Bluetooth 
3.0 device. I experienced this first hand when I bought a quite expensive 
Plantronics stereo headset which had Bluetooth 4.0 and the lag was so bad that 
I returned it because it was impossible to use it with Voiceover.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Apple wireless EarPods

[Michael Feir]

I don't experience any sluggishness with my Microsoft Universal Mobile
keyboard while typing. This is the case even while using airpods or my
Trekz Titaniums. However, I do own a couple of older Bluetooth speakers
which are very sluggish to the point of being useless if using Voiceover.
You should be in good shape presuming you're using reasonably modern
equipment. I type around 90 words per minute. Currently, there is a nasty
problem with Braille displays when using iOS11. Hopefully, that will be
fixed in the upcoming iOS11.1 update.
