Lag using iPhone and Airpods

Note: This is answered in the FAQ. I'd delete this if I could figure out how to do so.

Greetings,

My primary use case for getting the Warbl was for travel. It should allow me to practice in crowded spaces such as airports.

Warbl into an iPhone 13 running Celtic sounds wonderful.

If I connect my Airpods to the same phone there is a noticeable lag between playing a note and hearing it.

Does the iPhone lack the horsepower or bandwidth to handle this?
Is there a better setup for playing into headphones or ear pods?

I've not tried a hardwired pair of headphones attached to the iPhone's adapter that I am using to connect the Warbl. I'll try that next.

Thank you.

Greetings,

Using hardwired headphones resolved the issue.

Hi David, sorry for the delayed reply, but as you discovered Bluetooth audio does have a lot of latency. There have been some advances in just the last year or two, but I think the latency is still too high to use with live music. So, we're stuck with wired headphones/speakers for now .
