The Pebble listing doesn’t mention support for the aptX Low Latency codec. Is the ‘reduced delay’ feature really good enough for watching TV/videos – Avantree Support

QUICK ANSWER

Pebble – Is There Audio Delay When Watching TV or Videos?

The Pebble has less delay than regular Bluetooth audio, but it is not completely delay-free.

Important: Pebble does not support aptX Low Latency. It uses a reduced-latency SBC connection instead.

How Much Delay?

Connection Type	Typical Delay
Pebble reduced-latency SBC	About 110 ms
Regular SBC Bluetooth	About 220 ms
aptX Low Latency	About 40 ms

Pebble has about 50% less delay than regular SBC Bluetooth.

Is It Good for Watching TV or Videos?

For many people, yes. The reduced delay can make TV shows and videos more comfortable to watch than regular Bluetooth audio.

Note: If you are sensitive to lip-sync differences, you may still notice that the sound is slightly behind the picture.

Does My Device Need a Special Bluetooth Codec?

No. Pebble uses SBC, which is widely supported by Bluetooth phones, tablets, computers, and transmitters. You do not need an aptX Low Latency-compatible device.

Need the Lowest Possible Delay?

If lip-sync is very important to you, consider an Avantree TV headphone system designed for lower-latency TV audio.
