bluetooth speakers/headset without delay

because it's bluetooth you're dealing with, you're not goign to totally get rid of delay. However, one good speaker I have is a JBL Flip. Works well for me.

Hi,
There's no way to get rid of the BT delay, except use a wire jack to connect your headphones to the iPhone via lightning or the headphone jack, if equipped. Sorry about that, but that's just how it goes with BT audio.

I would say definitely go with the bose. I have a Soundlink, and there is hardly any delay at all. I love it,even though it was very expensive.

I used to think that a terrible delay was inevitable using Bluetooth. What I have recently found to be true is that, while a delay will always occur with Bluetooth devices, devices such as the Powerbeats 3 and the Beats X headphones, which are equipped with the new W1 chip from Apple, have less delay than any bluetooth headphones or speakers I've ever used. Also, I have found that devices with more advanced Bluetooth protocols have less of a delay as well. For example, my Logitech UE mobile boom box and boom box both are older speakers I bought in 2013. My Motorola sliver and my LG HBS750 are also older headsets. All of these have a delay that is hard to deal with, especially, like you said, when typing. But my JBL Charge 3, which is new, has a little less of a delay. Nothing beats devices that have the W1 chip in them though, and sadly, the only ones that have it, to the best of my knowledge, are Beats. I hope Apple lets third parties make use of this chip very soon. But do some research on the W1 chip, maybe there's something I don't know about that has it. My other speakers and headsets used to have a half second or more of delay. With both my Beats headsets with the W1 chip, the delay is a fourth of a second or less.

Hi,
The delay is there on jabra move headphones, but it's not a big deal for using the mac. i honestly don't notice a delay at all on my end with that headset. I had an older Jam transit headset and used it on iOS sometimes. The delay was noticeable, but not a deal breaker. Also, the W1 chip is available as far as I know only on the beats and on the apple airpods. I think the delay is honestly something that we just need to deal with until the W1 chip gets into other stuff, which I doubt it will.

I've owned several Bluetooth headsets and speakers over the past few years, and have had mixed results with audio delay. The Backbeat Sense headphones, while techie, were some of the worst for this.

What I've found lately, is that you want to buy devices that have Bluetooth 4.1. Every device I've tried that has this newer protocol seems to have far less lag. You'll always have a little lag with Bluetooth, but with newer 4.1 devices, I hardly notice it. And I regularly input text and do other tasks where this would be very noticeable.

I don't notice much of a delay with my blue tooth head set but when I type, I hear a loud high pitch beep for each character I input. Not sure what's causing that.
