One reviewer specifically calls out very low perceived latency for video, suggesting good audio-video sync for everyday streaming.

Low-latency performance is a standout across sources: the L500A includes a gaming mode aimed at reducing AV lag, and WL500-focused reviews emphasize near-imperceptible sub-5ms latency for instrument monitoring.

Low-latency 2.4GHz performance is one of the headset's clear strengths. Reviewers repeatedly described gaming and video playback as free of noticeable lag or sync issues.

Video latency is generally reported as well controlled, with reviewers noting little to no audio-video sync issues during typical streaming and YouTube viewing.

Reviewers generally report good sync for video use, with latency described as not an issue for typical phone or laptop watching.

Audio-video sync is generally reported as strong for video watching, with latency management helped by codec selection in some advice-focused reviews.

At least one reviewer reports gaming use without noticeable sync issues, suggesting latency is well-managed in typical handheld use.

Latency is generally fine for video and typical gaming use, and Apple touts particularly low-latency behavior in its own ecosystem (notably with Vision Pro). Like most Bluetooth earbuds, it is not a universal low-latency solution across every platform.

Low-latency mode delivers good audio-video sync, with most reviewers reporting minimal lip-sync delay for video and casual gaming.

The 2.4GHz dongle mode is repeatedly praised for low-latency gaming and quick switching between wireless modes, keeping audio and on-screen action in sync.

Latency performance is a clear strength for gaming use. Reviews that tested gameplay specifically report little to no lag, helping the headset feel responsive over wireless connections.

At least one hands-on video reviewer reports no noticeable lip-sync delay when watching video, suggesting good real-world A/V sync in common streaming playback.

Where discussed, reviewers report good lip-sync for videos and casual gaming, with no dedicated gaming mode but acceptable performance for non-competitive use.

Over the primary 2.4GHz link, reviewers typically report very low latency suitable for competitive play. Over Bluetooth, some call out higher latency on SBC for gaming unless you can use LC3 or LC3+.

For video and casual gaming, sync and latency are generally reported as good, aided by low-latency modes and modern Bluetooth. Competitive gaming may still benefit from dedicated dongle-based solutions, but most users should find A/V sync acceptable.

Wireless-focused reviews describe the low-latency dongle as subjectively delivering negligible lag between on-screen action and audio cues.

Video lip-sync and general A/V timing are typically good, and low-latency/game modes help in demanding scenarios. Some gaming use can still show slight delay in fast shooters depending on device and settings.

Bluetooth latency is typical for wireless cans, but multiple reviews highlight wired and USB-C paths plus newer updates as improving low-latency editing and sync.

Video and gaming latency is generally reported as good, helped by a low-latency or game mode in some setups, though availability can depend on device and settings.

Low-latency/LE Audio capabilities are mentioned as a benefit for reducing delay in supported scenarios, though real-world results depend on device and settings.

Latency is generally low enough for gaming, especially with the wireless dongle or game mode, though the advantage is smaller over Bluetooth.

Low-latency mode is positioned as good enough to keep dialog in sync with video.

Audio-video sync and latency performance are repeatedly praised when using the 2.4GHz dongle or wired connection, making it well-suited to competitive play. Bluetooth is positioned as secondary, with LE Audio helping but not replacing the dongle for lowest latency.

Latency and sync are generally reported as good for video and casual gaming, especially with LE Audio features on compatible devices. Some modes are described as beta or device-dependent, so results can vary by source device.

Audio latency is best over the 2.4GHz dongle and 3.5mm wired mode. Bluetooth is fine for casual listening but not ideal when timing is critical.

Latency performance is generally good for video and casual gaming, with game mode helping and several reviewers reporting no obvious lip-sync problems.

USB-C wired audio is noted to reduce Bluetooth latency by tens of milliseconds, which can improve lip-sync for video compared with wireless use.

A movie/low-lag mode is referenced for improving lip-sync, and several reviews report little noticeable delay when watching video or gaming, though impacts vary by device.

Latency and A/V sync are generally reported as good, especially for video; gaming modes exist, but several reviewers say improvements are subtle and best for casual mobile gaming.

Low-latency or gaming mode is mentioned as helpful for video and gaming, reducing perceived lip-sync issues to a generally acceptable level.

Several reviews mention low-latency or gaming modes and head-tracking features; real-world A/V performance is generally positioned as competent, not a class-leading differentiator.

Latency is generally well controlled for video; gaming/low-latency modes are reported to help keep audio and visuals in sync with minimal delay.

Low-latency or gaming mode is commonly mentioned and helps A/V sync, though some testers still notice remaining latency in the most timing-sensitive use cases.

Latency is generally described as low enough for video and casual gaming, with good audio-video sync in normal streaming use.

Latency is generally good enough for video and casual media use, with several reviewers noting low-lag behavior, though this is not positioned as a gaming specialist.

Latency performance is solid for budget headphones. Game mode exists, and reviewers generally found video watching and casual mobile gaming suitably in sync.

Low-latency features are mentioned (including a low-latency mode and published latency figures), and reviewers generally position it as suitable for video and gaming at this price.

Most reviewers report acceptable video sync for casual watching, but the limited codec stack means some users may notice lag depending on device and content.

Gaming or low-latency modes are mentioned as helpful for video and games, with generally positive expectations for sync, though deep testing details are limited.

Low-latency performance is generally solid. Reviewers who tested gaming or video playback reported little to no obvious lag, though one review found the mode made little audible difference.

Video sync is reported as fine for streaming and everyday video use, though serious low-latency gaming is not a standout strength.

One review found latency pretty decent, including for video and quick-reaction games.

HDMI 2.1 passthrough and switching generally work well once configured, but multiple sources mention occasional signal drops, flicker, or device-specific quirks that firmware updates may improve.

A/V sync is typically fine for video, but Bluetooth gaming latency can be noticeable for some reviewers. Using the case as a transmitter is repeatedly framed as the lower-latency workaround for flights, TVs, and certain gaming setups.

Audio-video sync is usually described as low-latency for movies and TV, especially when features are working properly. A couple of reviews report occasional lip-sync hiccups during TV Audio Swap that were resolved by reconnecting or pausing playback.

Audio/video sync is usually fine for casual viewing and even editing for some users, but multiple comments suggest latency is not ideal for competitive gaming or fast-reaction play.

Latency varies by device and mode. With the dongle, it is often good for movies and casual gaming, but several reviews note it is not truly esports-grade and real-world results may sit closer to typical Bluetooth latency.
