Bluetooth can make for a liberating listening experience, but older setups may suffer from limited range and—worse—high latency, resulting in distracting lip-sync problems when streaming movies or TV shows.
If you’ve been noticing choppy or laggy Bluetooth performance, it might be time for something like Creative’s new, state-of-the-art $50 BT-W4 USB transmitter. In the BT-W4’s case, “state of the art” means the Bluetooth standard 5.2 and Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive codec, a combination that can deliver greater range, higher fidelity, and lower latency.
Of course, you need the same tech on the other end to really take advantage of the latest Bluetooth standards and Qualcomm’s audio codecs, but we never said upgrading your Bluetooth setup would be easy—or cheap.
