If you can hold out for Bluetooth 5.2 devices, it includes a new audio codec [0] that might be worth waiting for.

No mention of improved latency or latency figures at all. Until it's in the single digit range, Bluetooth audio will remain a gimmick, unusable in certain cases.

Right now, we're 2 orders of magnitude away from that.
