Maybe a delay in sound plus the aircraft engines were probably still spinning down after impact.

From watching the video of the crash I wonder if the aircrafts variable-sweep wings were extended , they didn't appear to be - would explain the very high speed and angle

Come now, this plane most probably was transporting an email server from upstate NY.

That said, it is shocking how the craft simply seemed to hinge in the middle as it touched down. Almost as if the cockpit section simply broke away. By the sound, it is almost like the engines were still running post explosion, or there were other craft in the are spun up.

Hard landing with their barrel bombs still armed...?

“The bomber was reportedly not carrying any weapons during the crash.”

Its kind of hard to have an explosion without explosives on board. That leads me to think of a stall on landing approach. The Russians are good at making military toys so this is indeed perplexing.

Wouldn't call that an explosion, looked more like jet fuel igniting, it does have 8 fuel tanks scattered from near the nose gear to near the drag chute at the rear, (one tank over the bomb bay).

Either something was wrong with both pilots, or something had to be wrong with flight guidance. That video made it look like they didn't expect ground that fast and literally slammed the thing into the runway.

It also looked too level for that low to the runway.

You also noticed that? Yes...wrong wing configuration and no nose up attitude just as it was about to touch, which leads either pilots had a problem with themselves or flight guidance.
