Quick update, I received my KB8 and get ~120ms latency with the Edifier TWS1 Pro earbuds (AptX Adaptive, long red light). These earbuds have some connection problems, recently I could not get it to connect to the KB8 until I swapped USB ports (strange).
With the Sennheiser Momentum TWS earbuds I get ~60ms (AptX LL, blue LED with 2 red flashes each five seconds).
Another quirk: because my LG CX TV (used as my monitor) is always transmitting a Bluetooth signal as a transmitter--it can only be disabled by going into an engineering menu requiring a special remote control--and because the KB8 automatically goes into pairing mode, the two devices paired with each other automatically. I could block the KB8 from within the TV but I worry that now the KB8 has paired with it, and that the TV is always visible when powered on, this could be related to why the earbuds stopped connecting. But I might be very wrong.
In all I consider this a success. Kind of wish it had a pairing button. Glad it tells you the codec via LED. I have not used the software yet, will do that later, probably from a virtual machine. The KB8P I ordered arrived at my shopping agent's warehouse and is still on the way. I might order a second from aliexpress at that price!
