I’m preparing for my AirPods 3rd gen in two days. My PC doesn’t support Bluetooth, so I need the smallest possible delay. I’ve learned AirPods 3 support Bluetooth version 5.0, but I’m curious about using a USB 3.2 adapter. I also heard that PCIe antennas—which also work with Wi-Fi—might be better. Since everything is inside a case under a wooden desk, would it help to connect a USB 3.2 BT 5.0 adapter directly to my monitor just a few inches away from the AirPods? Or should I consider using PCIe Bluetooth cards and positioning the PC closer to the device with a glass barrier? I also have an external Wi-Fi USB adapter for backup, but minimizing latency is my main goal. Thanks ahead!
