Since it is Bluetooth 4.0, will you not notice latency issues? My first thought is that the audio will lag the video, which would make me feel like I am watching a dubbed version of the movie.

SpankyTownI have the same concern. Thinking about using this for my weekend band, we use wired in ear monitors and I hate dealing with cable. This transmitter and BT earbuds would be great if there is 0 latency.

SpankyTownI own one, and yes there is a 1/2 second delay on video from my TV to the audio on my JBLs. This is my second unit, the first I had to return because it kept losing the Bluetooth connection and then stopped turning on. I will be going with a wired connection in the future and would not recommend this unit.
SpankyTownThis supports Aptx LL which is more important than the bluetooth version. The receiving device must also support the Low Latency codec to take advantage of it. Even if this was BT 5.0 without AptX LL you will get latency.

SpankyTownI have the transmitter plus the MEE BTR receiver, and I find the latency is only barely perceivable. Connected to other devices like the ES100, I found the latency is much more noticeable. I will say, you need to get as much out of the audio path as possible. I originally had this thing set up to receive audio out of my stereo receiver, and that added a surprising amount of additional latency. I ended up connecting it directly to my media PC and that significantly mitigated the issue. I'm extremely happy with the resulting setup and use it daily for TV, movies, games, and so forth.

SpankyTownBluetooth 5 holds no audio improvements over Bluetooth 4.2, mostly just improvements for beacons and IoT devices. A good video that efficiently describes the differences between Bluetooth 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 is here: https://youtu.be/z6vQ43V4WxA Codec matters far more, and aptX Low Latency (aptX LL) is the fastest codec on the market so far. With a latency of around 40ms (.004 of a second), it’s undetectable by most people. There will always be some delays as Bluetooth data is decoded, processed, and converted to analog (because speakers and headphones are analog devices). This has aptX LL, and hopefully your headphones do too (mine do, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless, the first generation). With other codecs, there will probably be a delay between 120 ms and 220 ms, depending on the processing power of the receiver, buffer size, and environmental factors like interference or a lot of Bluetooth devices in the same area. For things that require instant-feedback like games (and maybe singing with your weekend band), AptX LL (or RF transmitters) are really the best way to go. Things like receivers add their own processing which delays the signal further. For best results, this MEE should be connected to your source device with Optical.

ElectronicVicesSo theoretically, I could connect this to the Topping D50s, which also support AptX LL?
RedbaaronYeah AptX sub codec selection could get weird, not sure if the devices would default to base AptX or AptX-LL or let you select the type. AptX is moving towards an all-in-one "Adaptive" codec which incorporates their AptX, HD, and LL feature set.
