Are wireless headphones laggy and up to the standards like Sennheiser 650?

Interested to know what peeps have experienced using wireless headphones in the terms of laggyness and sound quality. I use my wired Sennheiser HD598SR for first person shooters, music and movies. Lag to me can't be tolerated due to the nature of first person shooter games and watching movies.

Can't speak about headphones or gaming, but I can tell you that SQ and latency on BT earbuds can be very, very decent, certainly better than just good enough. Can't see why BT headphones would be worse. A corner was turned in the quality of product offerings in late 2019.

Rtings has info on latency for quite a few BT headphones broken down by codecs - https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/connectivity/bluetooth

Wowzer... some of those latency specs are up ~4/10 of second. Even 1/10 of a second is high for FPS stuff. Thanks for the link

Bluetooth is too laggy. However the dedicated gaming headsets with their own usb dongles and latency around 30-50ms work great. Some like the Arctis Pro even sound pretty good.
