Is aptX Good Enough For Real Time Monitoring?

However, the question I'm asking here is, can this Bluetooth transmitter and receiver do the job? Is the latency of aptX really low enough to make it comfortable to use and is the Trond actually good enough to support this?The advertised latency of aptX may be well below 40ms but in reality and when used with a low price chipset on the Trond and any extra latency that the receiver may add, what is it really?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" width="1/1" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid"][vc_column_text]

Where this test is valid, however is that it demonstrates exactly how I intended to use them with the Trond device. If it doesn't work, it's not really up to the job I had hoped.Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing to the channel if you enjoyed the video.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" width="1/1" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid"][vc_column_text]
