Problem with video audio sync using Bluetooth headphones

I have recently bought a pair of beats studio wireless headphones but when using my ipad there are sync issues with video and audio. Many apps have the problem but sky go seems to be the worst followed by YouTube. Apple video is not too bad but not perfect.

iPad, iOS 7.1

I've the same problem mentioned here. I suffer from lag with all my iOS devices and all the bluetooth conections. Iphone 5S, IPad Air 2, IPad mini 4. I connected all of them to bluetooth headphones, bluetooth speakers, my car audio, and I suffer the same desync in audio - video. I repeated the test with a Samsung S3, S6, Galaxy Note 10.1 and...everything went well. So is a common problem to iOs.


A bug that is not acceptable mainly when A/V is one or should be one of the most important differentiation for Apple devices. I hope they fix the problem soon because is really annoying

Same issue for me with brand new iphone 7, latest iOs and Sony MDR 1000x headphone.


If it is a difficult issue to fix, why not simply add a "latency compensation" slider in the general settings to allow iphone users to adjust the video timing if it is a problem for them. I can appreciate that the latency may depend on audio device specifics, a general slider would solve the problem for all the thousands - and soon to be millions - of bluetooth audio device users with iphones.


Apple needs to fix this urgently since they are forcing people down the bluetooth route with the removal of the audio connector on latest iphones. Solution quickly please !!!
