I like this, but I would also want to see global audio delay settings. I am frankly not sure how that would work, though.

yeah, why no bluetooth headphones??? this is such a basic feature, why isnt this supported?

Enhanced sound is key to many apps with Oculus Quest and for a lot of those apps, corded headphones are not optimal, I broke a pair of headphones by pulling the cord with my hand by accident when playing.

This functionality already exists - I was able to connect my bluetooth headphones via the option under experimental settings

I would really love to be able to hook up the quest audio to my soundbar or a portable speaker. it would be way better than me having to buy an aux to bluetooth adapter, THEN pair it to the speaker.

I recently added LG wireless headphones in the Bluetooth config settings with no problem. Only minor latency not terrible. I wish I tried before spending hours searching for the workaround as it was not needed in my case. So for others looking to connect give it a shot first

A year late but you can definitely do this. At least with the AirPods you can.

Where is this latency story coming from?
I use BT headsets for most of my devices. I do not have latency. Not in games, not in video, not in OS's with notifications sounds. -

i dont see how latency would be a problem even with bluetooth 4...

Latency is the main problem. Bluetooth 5 has lower latency compared to BT 4, but I don't think the Quest has BT 5 with the 835 SOC, otherwise Oculus probably would've included the wireless option.
I don't really see the point in wireless headphones when your ears are mere centimeters from the jacks. It just introduces latency, reduced fidelity, more radio clutter and the inconvenience of having to charge them. -

This seems to have been added with the latest 7.0 release for Quest - I was able to connect my bluetooth headphones via the 'experimental' settings option although they can remove these settings at anytime

Bluetooth = latency. aptx low latency (if Quest supports it) will be <50ms. But most normal BT headsets introduce 100-300 ms of lag. Which is really bad for VR and rythm games.

( If someone publish an application on the store that trigger the bluetooth setting.
It is already implemented in the Quest. It is just not accessible. )
The command to use is:
adb shell am start -a android.settings.BLUETOOTH_SETTINGS -

There are earphones with no delay at all but must be connected with cable L to R, not earbuds style those always have little delay

And gamepads

I wonder how hard it is to use aptx, is it hardware or software bound? Probably cost alot. Noise cancelling neckband earbuds would be amazing.

You can do this already by accessing bluetooth through an app such as Open Room VR, but it comes at the cost of certain games having horrible performance drops, Beat Saber being one of them.

I would love this, but I think the latency Bluetooth introduces makes this impossible.
