Hopefully this means lower latency.
- I would expect so. 2.4ghz wireless headphones for PC and Console gaming have been very good for years.
  
  Bluetooth is 2.4Ghz wireless.
  A Wi-Fi based system will almost certainly have higher latency given how much more processing the network stack needs. It adds more buffers in more places.
