Low Latency APTX Earbuds

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Hi All! I cashed in my 2018 clad for a whopping $21.36 at the Coinstar and received an Amazon gift code.

I have the Miccus Bluetooth headphones, but figured it would be good to buy some waterproof earbuds for rainy hunts.

Anyone have good luck with low cost wireless earbuds with their Nox? Thx

None of the low cost earbuds I have tried have turned out to be true APTX LL EVEN when advertised as such on the sites. Buyer beware.

I just go wired in bad rain or put my hood up in lighter rain with the Miccus since there is no wire to worry about or...

I like these IP6 rated backphones which are weather resistant which are APTX LL (but need a special firmware update to get there so PM me) but they are not inexpensive nor good in cold rain/weather since they are on the ear phones.

The following are supposedly APTX LL but have decided to stop rolling the dice:

The Samsung level u pro's are aptx low latency but are not waterproof... they pair up nicely with the equinox and sound pretty good for earbuds... they are nice to have when the weather here in Sacramento gets over 90-100+ degrees!!!

$21.36 may not be a lot of $$$ for some, but thats a lot of squats no matter how you look at it

I use the SoundPEATS Bluetooth Headphones Magnetic Wireless Earbuds IPX6 in-Ear Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Earphones Upgraded Q12 Plus earbuds on my Equinox 600 & they work great. This particular model is an Amazon Choice.

Those were the ones in my second link. PA dirt or taterbill, let us know whether the definitively light up the bluetooth symbol with a plus sign on the Equinox display indicating that are true APTX LL.

I just purchased these last night after reading this post.

Yes, they light up the Bluetooth symbol WITH the plus symbol. I’ve also previously bought supposedly “low latency” earbuds....only to find they were not!

Thanks, Bill. Will have to check those out then.

How critical is low latency? Does it really lag that much with standard BT?

It does make a difference when detecting.

Standard SBC BT = 170 to 250 ms delay (unusable for metal detecting)

AAC BT = 90 to 100 ms delay (still unusable IMO)

APTX (non-low latency) = 60 to 80 ms delay (borderline usable except on very fast swings like trying to wiggle off target or in hugh recovery settings).

APTX - LL = 30 to 40 ms (delay not normally perceptible to most even on fast swings)

I personally notice the delay for anything other than APTX-LL BT. Some folks swear they can tell the difference between wired and APTX-LL or even the WM08. I find that hard to swallow, but if you do perceive a delay of any sort, it us very distracting, especially when trying to pinpoint a target. Makes it seem like there are two targets on the ground separated by a small distance. Standard BT is not even close to being usable. Standard BT and AAC delays can even percetibly screw up audio to video synchronization on videos.

I've used these briefly just to test the connection and could barely notice a delay. Maybe half a second if wiggling over a target. I already had them for hands free calling. They are only ATPX. I need to test them next to the stock headphones to see if I can tell any difference.

I just put a plastic bag over my regular bt headphones, It is a little hard to breath but they stay dry.

They do as I have them already.

Swung for about 30 min with the SoundPeats. They worked well, but did not do a good job keeping my ears warm in the 14 degree wind chill.... I’ll be using the Miccus headphones, but good to have a low cost spare set of viable Bluetooth earbuds. I can see using these when I travel and in the summer.

Got my new SoundPeats earbuds in today. Only tried them at the house so far but I think I may have found my favorite audible device for the Nox.

Yeah mine came a few days ago and love them. Sound is very good, comfy, and no lag. Good buy!

 

[vferrari]

Very good buy. I like them, too.

There's a 5% coupon on them on Amazon right now; saved another $1.50. I actually have a pair of the older standard BT version of these I use for working out and loved them. Went ahead and ordered a pair as I'm finally pulling the trigger on a Nox in a few weeks and V's great explanation sold me on the reasons why
