I know. I read. I repeat: not an issue. Network buffering and compression latency (H.264 and whatever audio codec you're using) is far greater than the 100 ms of Bluetooth audio.
In fact, you should not use aptX because you don't stream aptX from a video camera. You should have the video camera compress audio into AAC, and Airpods can decode that natively, eliminating a whole round trip compression.
No, this has nothing to do with streaming.
When I record someone speaking (you know, like an interview, television news, etc.), I as a cameraman need to monitor the audio.
This is very awkward, if there's a delay between the real voice and the monitored audio.
Being tied up to the camera with wired headphones makes a lot of things way harder. In professional video world mics turned to wireless 10 to 20 years ago for the same reasons I'd like monitor the camera's audio without a wire.
Camera's does not have to send aptX out by itself, there's plenty of cheap transmitters on the market.
What is missing is advanced headphones that have good sound AND:
1) low delay
2) in-ear; can be used with helmets
3) controlled noise cancelling, you can adjust what and how much you here around you
4) might be nice to use with wire when needed
B&O might release a product this year that that has all these features.
So that I could only have one headphones, that I can use in all things I do. Not a pair for every different situation.
Btw, latency is usually way worse than 100ms with out aptX:

And seems to be that apple's airpods pro's latency is 227ms withBT and without aptX.
Apple AirPods 2 are a bit better: 204ms.
Beats Powerbeats Pro: 183ms.
Sony WI-1000X has latency of 151ms even with aptX. I want something less than 100ms.
