Or 3.5mm jack. But both are going the way of the removable battery I'm afraid.

This is out of stock now. Seems they have over sensitive anti-fraud measures as my order was cancelled.

There's also a setting in the Qudelix app as well. Classic bluetooth will never have good latency, but it's as good as it will get.

scix replied to rhabdoviridae on Poll - Has Your Mobile Device Been Blocked, by Which Network (3G Shutdown) ?
Consider switching to Vodafone (or a reseller) which doesn't depend on B28.

scix replied to djoz on Proactive Action - Xiaomi (& Other Chinese Brands / Import) Phone Owners Affected by 3G Shutdown (Now Due to Be Network Blocked)
Perhaps phones that support E000 and VoLTE but not B28 will work on Vodafone, but if the legislation requires the latter too then yeah.

scix replied to [Deactivated] on Sennheiser Momentum 4 Special Edition Headphones (Black with Metallic Copper Detail) $350 Delivered @ Amazon AU
These have aptX adaptive which means low(er) latency for gaming and the like, but you'll probably need a dongle to take advantage of it.
