For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I’m excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.

    In isolation aptx-hd when operating in aptx-ll mode is low enough latency that it can be used for gaming, however it’s very rare that standard bluetooth headphones will be low enough latency, at the very least I haven’t personally tested any devices that fit the bill when operating in aptx-hd. Im sure some bluetooth headphones will be able to, but none that i’ve come across. LC3Plus might actually be able to change this. IMO running a bluetooth dac is much more likely to get there.
