I don’t have top of the line earbuds but the Bluetooth latency kills me. It’s just enough to be really irritating and rhythm games are infuriating. I’ve been trying to find 2.4ghz dongle type but none I could find seemed any good.

Just this week I got a pair of Edifier W240TN earbuds. About $70 on Amazon. The sound quality is good (I’m not a complete audiophile but I’ve had some crappy earbuds in the past…these are better than any I’ve had). The noise canceling is okay, not as good as my headphones, but that’s okay.

But I realize that’s not what you’re asking about. They have a “low latency game mode”, advertised as “80 ms”. I was able to pair them with my Steam Deck fairly easily and had to change the button assignment in the app ahead of time, but I tried the game mode and it actually worked pretty well. I’m pretty sensitive to audio latency, but I was impressed with them. They might not cut it for high end play on rhythm games, but swinging around on Spider-Man felt good to me. I watched a cutscene and the dialogue matched up well enough to not be distracting. They might be worth a look.

I use my Pixel Buds A-series and they work fine, but I haven’t played any games that require low latency.

AptX got open sourced in March this year, I’m hoping to see it come to the deck to help with latency.

Does the Steam Deck support Aptx LL in the first place?

I have used Jabra 85ts with the steam deck and have not noticed any latency issues. I do have to manually reconnect them after i put the deck to sleep. Otherwise they’re the best wireless earbuds i’ve used.

You can use any wireless earbuds

I use my pixel buds pro and they work just fine with low latency. I have it so it audio switches seamlessly when I turn it on.
