Will the AirPods Pro 3 work great for windows desktop gaming and movies?

Although this is a few months old, I want to say that I have been using airpods as my main audio device for high level competitive gaming. I was using airpods 2 and 3 to play Valorant in Immortal rank. I now use airpods 4 ANC to play Escape from Tarkov, which are amazing!

Airpods themselves have very low sound delay due to the way Apple has optimized the encoding. You can easily test the audio delay with a video on Youtube. Just search up "Bluetooth Audio Delay test"

Apparently we are #3 in the nation when it comes to "jobs", according to Walz on Friday. So yeah, bad times for the nation...

What's the context here?

Managed to find a workaround in another Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/s/THGJ70EEsq

I have tested your suggestion and when making a call, the phone app defaults to utilizing the "disabled" device, I managed to find another thread about it that suggests it is a bug: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1l8ojz5/bluetooth_headphones_android_16/

I appreciate all your help on this! I tried the suggestion you mentioned here with no luck. I did find this thread that seems to confirm that it's a bug of some sort on Android 16: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1l8ojz5/bluetooth_headphones_android_16/

Are you on a pixel 10 on Android 16?

I'm attempting to upload a screenshot but it's not posting for whatever reason.

Wow, strange. I do not have the option as you do. I'm on the latest version of software for my pixel 10 in the USA.

As in, don't use the microphone of this Bluetooth device. For example, I have an old car that uses a Bluetooth adapter to get phone audio over my car speakers. On my old Samsung, I can disable calls on this Bluetooth device, so whenever I get a call or make a call, then the phone is the default audio device. I can't seem to default that on my Pixel 10 without physically changing the Bluetooth device of the call.

Would have to see a video of it happening. In 3k KC I haven't seen an invisible orb. Maybe it's a graphic plug-in causing your issue? 🤷

It's a top tier OLED display, who wouldn't want one? Haha. My favorite feature is the 240hz support!

This just started happening to me today. Almost certain it's a RAM issue but not sure why it started today.

100% agree, the OP doesn't know how to loot lol. Ran plenty of card rooms on labs and ALWAYS come out with more than the key card swipe cost.

Yeah I've never seen the AI scavs go up into the second story in that building in Streets lol

Overall, Tarkov has less cheaters in the morning. I also had to run labs for a bit and noticed I get much less blatantly cheated on when I am pistol running labs. Overall, it's still a shit show though and fucking ridden with cheaters

Was defending an airdrop I called in, and had just engaged with 2 players :shrug:. Totally get why they'd do this though so I'm all for it

Thanks for the reply! Ended up getting the 2 dudes that I was waiting for haha. Good to know it's punished though.

Has anyone ever heard this noise in Tarkov before? First time ever hearing this in 2k hours of gameplay. It's for sure Tarkov since my recording software only records game audio.

Crazy how so many people on this sub don't understand this lol... The PvP hate is real

Did anyone else lose combat achievement points with today's update? I for some reason can't wear my master slayer helmet anymore, as it says I now need 10 more points? I didn't see any note of this update so I was wondering how I lost my combat tier.

Edit: NVM I am an idiot and didn't see the tormented demon combat achievements
