Preferably a dongle, but Bluetooth is ok as well. what wireless headphones do you use? thanks for all suggestions!!!

edit: because i wasn’t very descriptive, i will append this: i don’t really care about the quality too much, i want to spend ~80 usd or so, but that’s flexible within 10 dollars or so. i would prefer a headset that has a USB dongle, like a wireless mouse. i don’t really need a microphone in it, but i wouldn’t really conplain if there was one.

    Maybe you happened to have low latency phones, but in my experience the low latency is explicitly marketed somewhere in the product description or on the packaging. I believe there are also different low latency technologies. For example, the 1Mii dongle and both of my wireless headphones use aptX technology.

    To be clear, you’re saying you’ve watched videos and/or played video games with all your old headphones and never noticed any latency?

      Yes - videos. I don’t recall latency problems since many years ago with some cheapo external speakers. FWIW I just tried a latency test on Youtube to check (currently on Shokz) and it seemed good. Frankly I have no idea if some low latency tech is being automatically used but I certainly didn’t take any steps to ensure it was (Ubuntu, these days using Pipewire).
