The Pebble uses a new chipset with embedded technology which achieves a noticeably reduced audio latency while still using the standard SBC codec. Normally SBC imparts a 220ms delay, however by decreasing the transmission bandwidth to increase speed, the Pebble’s solution can reduce the delay by 50% to only 110ms. By comparison, the latency of aptX Low Latency is only 40ms. However, aptX LL requires both the transmitter and receiver to support aptX LL, while SBC is standard on ALL Bluetooth devices.
During user trials we found that most people don’t notice significant latency when using the SBC reduced latency codec and of those who did notice a delay, most still found it acceptable.
Since the SBC codec is standard on all Bluetooth devices, you can benefit from the reduced latency SBC codec no matter what you connect your Pebble to - whether it’s to our Bluetooth transmitters, your mobile phone, tablet or your PC. In all cases, the latency will only be 110ms - 50% less than that of traditional SBC.
Please note however, that as mentioned it is not 100% latency-free. Some sensitive users may notice the slight 0.5 word delay. If zero delay is very important to you, we recommend you check out our TV set section.
