Hello ProStarGhost, This is very unusual to hear about any lag on any RIG wireless headset as they all operate on 2.4GHz digital RF wireless networks which is typically lag-free. But after some investigation, we did find that 2.4GHz networks aren't entirely immune. But there are ways to help. A high-speed audio cable will not help since this headset is only wireless. Our research yielded the following: a 2.4GHz wireless audio connection can experience lag, although generally less than Bluetooth due to its faster transmission speeds, but it can still be affected by interference from other devices using the same frequency band like Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, and cordless phones, which can lead to audio glitches or delays. Key points about 2.4GHz audio and lag: Interference is the main culprit: The 2.4GHz band is crowded with various devices, so if there's a lot of activity on that band, your audio signal can be disrupted causing lag or stuttering. How to minimize 2.4GHz audio lag: Choose a less crowded channel: Adjust your dual-band WiFi router settings to select a less congested 5GHz channel so the headset and your WiFi aren't competing for the same bandwidth. (Set to 5GHz only instead of dual-band). Position devices carefully: Keep your RIG 900 Max audio transmitter and RIG 900 Max headset (receiver) close together and with a clear line of sight to minimize interference. And finally, create space between your wireless headset setup (headset/transmitter) and your WiFi router to reduce interference. We hope this helps.
