Ideally a pair for both:
However it has a 226/252ms latency depending on the codec. (XM5's lower latency LC3 codec only works with Sony phones.)
That's a little too high even though I don't play competitive FPS.
The alternative would be Airpods Pro 2, with all the benefits of the Apple Ecosystem and a comparable sound quality to the XM5's.
Seems to be 160ms with SBC (no data for AAC) which isn't ideal but barely passable considering the sound quality.
Low latency options requiring 2.4GHz dongles or AptX adapters don't really appeal to me (Razer Hammerhead, Sony INZONE, Sony Pulse Explore).
Rant: I would have to pay extra for the dongle (if not included) and have something stick out my laptop, to reduce latency while experiencing worse sound quality.
- iPhone in public/commuting (20% of the time)
- PC for single-player gaming, movies (80% of the time)
