Ironically, if they were analog wireless, thered be no latency at all
So basically radio? It would still be limited by the speed of light, you would have nanoseconds (or microseconds?) of latency!
Ten nanoseconds of travel time for every three meters of distance, or roughly one nanosecond per foot.
Wired head phones are also limited by the speed of light
Even cable has latency...
You have a pretty noticeable fidelity drop when going over radio waves, though. Any pro audio devices like wireless microphones or IEMs will go over radio waves, though. Works fine for on stage use but isn't ideal in other settings.
