Description
[What is earbuds delay?]
1. The time when sound playback starts on the device (smartphone, etc.)
2. The time when the sound actually comes out of the earbuds.
The time difference between 1. and 2. is the delay of the earbuds.
YouTube or video player apps show the video as late as the delay time of the audio in order to eliminate this delay. So users feel there is no delay. However, since this app does not perform such manipulations, you can experience the delay of your earbuds devices.
In general, devices connected wirelessly, such as Bluetooth, have a longer delay than devices connected by wire.
[How to test the delay]
When the clock hand pass 0ms(milliseconds), the device starts playing 'tick' sound. The delay is where the clock hand is located when the earbuds actually make a 'tick' sound.

Simple and to the point. Unlike other delay tests, this one takes pains to make it easier to estimate/measure the delay - generally not that easy to do - with a few different visual displays and color clues at t=0. Well done.

Does exactly what it says: helps you identify the delay on your earbuds.

This is actually very effective! You must close your eyes and then tap, it will give you clear idea about the latency. Very important to test out different TWS earbuds, and high-end earbuds with Ultra Low Latency feature and see if it's really effective.

Even better than audio tester, very useful the different visualization.

This app is like a scam, when I tested it with this, the delay was almost non-existent, but in reality, it was really bad when I tested songs and videos.

Has no functionality whatsoever, it's just a guessing game. There needed to be a slider to offset the animation, so you could tune it to make it look exactly in sync, and the numerical value of the delay would be the offset exactly. With this you can't tell sht

More like reaction speed tester. Has no headphones test functionality at all. No one has a reaction time of 0 ms to measure the latency of the earbuds
★★☆☆☆Acrylix· Oct 25, 2023
5 stars for intended purpose but every time I run this app my earbud app won't run unless reinstalled.
