I want a consumer-grade wireless headset that has the latency of my Rode Wireless Pro microphones. I don't know what the latency actually is (it's a digital link) but it can't be more than 1 or 2 ms. Give me something like the Sennheiser RS-185 with that kind of latency, or, even better, a receiver/transmitter type thing for which any generic 3.5mm output can be used, which is both digital and extremely low latency like that, and also doesn't compromise on audio quality, and I'll be happy.

I specifically mentioned consumer-grade here, because there are high-end wireless IEM systems that do exactly this, but certainly not in the consumer space, at least not that I can find.

Edit:
I found something online that says the Rode Wireless Pro latency is 6 to 7 MS. So maybe I'm a bit off. Still, though, it's basically undetectable by just listening, unless you purposefully feed the microphone back to a nearby speaker or something.

I work in education & I use & recommend #LibreOffice to my students:

No licence fees (great for students on a tight budget),

Forward & backward compatibility with files (so you don't lose access to your own & others' work),

UX that just lets you get on with work/study (no pop-ups, ads, nag-ware),

Really useful plugins, e.g. Zotero connector,

& just a pleasure to use! 🤓

Instead, I chose to #donate to the following #opensource projects, which I use and I am grateful for, and provide clear instructions for donating on their website or in their READMEs, allow one-time donations, and do not require GitHub (Sponsors) account:
