Wireless earbuds for steam deck? (lemmy.nz)

I'm looking for recommendations for earbuds that I can use with my Steam Deck, ideally also being fairly useful for general use with an Android phone.

I don't play a lot of rythm games, but it would be ideal if they were relatively low latency (for Bluetooth at least).

I've seen the epos gtw 270s but I'm not keen on the dongle so they'll essentially just be Bluetooth anyway?

The Jabra 7 Elites look to be better overall buds but there are complaints about latency, not sure what it's like with the deck?

Headphones that support AptX LL made a big difference for me. I picked up a cheap set on Amazon that work well but they have really terrible battery life. I may replace them now that I know AptX LL works pretty well.

I tried several other pairs that only supported SBC and AAC and the latency was irritating, even for the slow paced games I play (like Powerwash Simulator).

Edit: This is the pair I got, they've released a new model so maybe it's improved but I certainly don't get 20 hrs on a charge.

My ears won't hold any earbuds in so I chose the around the neck style. They still fall out.
