I'm having ping/lagging issues on my Mac mini when I'm playing an online game while AirPods on

I'm using 5 Ghz channel for Wifi / AirPods Pro 2

I just put AirPods off to see if the ping issue is about it, and it was gone every time.

without AirPods: 17-18 ms

with AirPods: switching between 20-40, it could seem not much but its lagging a lot, makes impossible to play

+ this happens even if im not using the mic of AirPods

To be proactive you can file a bug report / submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

Update your AirPods firmware
