Can Bluetooth headphones cause audio delay?

Archived editorial answer

Yes; Bluetooth codec and television processing delay can place sound behind video.

A practical check

Replay the same dialogue twice with TV speakers and then Bluetooth. If delay appears only on Bluetooth, check the device’s audio sync settings. If delay grows during both runs, record the player version and where the drift starts.
