Audio brand is no stranger to trying new things and has launched its first ever pair of Bluetooth earbuds that are gaming-focused. Urbanista claims that the mode toggle reduces Bluetooth latency by about 70ms. We haven't seen a dedicated latency toggle on many true wireless headphones. To keep latency low, most gaming-oriented headphones use Qualcomm's aptX Bluetooth codec.UrbanistaQualcomm claims that the codecs low latency variant can reduce this time to around 40ms. The only problem with aptX is that both your phone and earbuds must support it. This is not an issue with most Snapdragon devices, as Qualcomm also makes them. However, Apple devices won't have the codec support. This is what makes the Seoul headphones so interesting. You can use them in a variety of devices to achieve a low latency mode.Apart from this feature, the Seoul earbuds offer a mid-range pair of true wireless earbuds that are affordable.
