sony WF1000X latency between earbuds

[henrikrene]

Is there a solution for latency on earbuds and YOUTUBE video and audio.

If i only use left earbud and the other is turned off there are no latency or lag between video and audio in left earbud. If i turn on the right earbud  then i get audio out of sync with video.

Other:

New product wf-1000x from marts 2019, also new firmware update. Earbuds used with iphone 6. On iphone all background app updates are disabled and further tweaks on wf-1000x also any kind like noise canceling is turned off. Still video/audio out of sync.

Hi @henrikrene, welcome to the Community.

Wireless earbuds need a media player with good playback codec to deal with latency. Tech at the moment just isn't quite up to getting lag-free signal to that second bud, so it's a common issue with most out-of-the-box media players. I'm not properly up to speed with the details, but maybe someone else will be able to fill you in.

I'm guessing they're fine with music? That's what your WF1000X (and most other wireless earbuds) are designed for. The easy short-term solution is to get wired!

Cheers
