Radio Frequency Wireless Headphones

These headphone had a degree of latency that would not have bothered me for TV watching, but which is far too much for guitar. They are going back

Are those headphones blue tooth?

It seems to me that there is a way to adjust the latency.
Or there may be a piece of hardware that is designed to.
What is the operating system ?
What is the software for recording?

"One significant advantage of Bluetooth 5.0 is lower latency than Bluetooth 4.2. Now, you might be wondering why latency happens in the first place. The reason is that Bluetooth audio is compressed for ease of transmission. This means that the signal being transmitted isn’t raw audio. Let’s say you’re listening to an MP3 track on your iPhone. Your phone converts the audio into a compressed format, then sends that data to your earbuds. The earbuds unpacked the compressed data and play back the audio."

I’m kinda late to this thread. My apologies.

Anyway, the latency in Bluetooth really depends on the type of Bluetooth running. There are Bluetooth algorithms that demonstrate very low latency.

APTX Bluetooth has very low latency. In fact, the latency is so low that I use a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver pair on stage for an in-ear monitor. If I am in very close proximity to the transmitter (which I am) the setup runs APTX Bluetooth and I really can’t detect any latency. If I am further away, it will auto-negotiate a different algorithm and I’ll start to get latency.

Now, I can’t really brag on what I’ve got, as sometimes there are pairing issues between the transmitter and receiver, but that has nothing to do with APTX. Plus, one thing that makes APTX have such low latency is that the audio encoding sacrifices some of the quality in favor of speed, but it’s not too bad.

So, I do intend on getting a more pro-level, RF wireless monitoring system. But, the point is, it is possible to get very low latency Bluetooth.
