You might not like this answer, but the only headphones I have used where lag is almost non-existent are the Airpods 4, I have the ones with active noise cancellation, but you can get them without and they are not all that expensive. Otherwise I have used cheap ones and expensive ones and sometimes the expensive ones had more lag than cheaper ones, it is simply a fact of Bluetooth which is why I absolutely can't tolerate Bluetooth speakers or headphones on my Windows Pc. I have used computers with Jaws since 1989 and I have Eloquence set to speak somewhat fast although not as fast as some may like, but I type fast and navigate very fast and this is simply not possible with a Bluetooth audio device. There is maybe one exception which is what I am currently using on my laptop and that is a dedicated Bluetooth dongle (not the built-in Bluetooth) in connection with a Bluetooth headset which supports the Bluetooth LL (Low Latency) protocol. I forget the name of the dongle I have, but the headset I use is from Creative and it's actually rather inexpensive, I think I paid around $50 or $60 Canadian for it and it's an on-ear design similar to the old Logitech H800, it has foam cushions which sit on the ears but not around the ears which is much more comfortable and less hot and it's relatively light weight compared to all these fancy over the ear headsets. Not sure how this would work with the iPhone, but I don't think the iPhone supports Bluetooth LL which in any case has been replaced as far as I know by a newer protocol which from all I read is good, but not quite as good as the Low Latency protocol. Of course as new Bluetooth standards emerge, this is likely to get better.

I have purchased several in the past but every time I use them, the game or app that I’m using is really draggy, slow and hard to navigate. Any suggestions why this is happening. I blame it on the headphones, but maybe it’s some other issue. Please don’t reply with suggestions of buying very expensive headphones, that’s not a possibility for me. Is there some setting on the phone that I should be changing so they will work better? This happens no matter what IOS I am running. I have an iPhone 13. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
