When you listen to audio from the internal TV speakers, in most cases the picture and the sound is in sync. That's how it should be.
Now, if you try to stream audio from your TV to a headset or an speaker, it is also important that the picture and sound is in sync. But here you have a double issue to worry about.
1) First, the sound from the internal spekers must be in sync with the moving Picture on the screen.
2) Then, the sound from Your internal TV speakers must be in sync with the sound in your headset, or the external Bluetooth speaker.
Now if you run an audio cable from your TV accross the floor to the speaker unit or your headset, then you should not worry about any delay... so the Lip Sync is be OK.
If you on the other hand are using a regular Bluetooth headset or a Bluetooth speaker, you may experience a Lip-Sync issue. This because because of conversion time in the Bluetooth sender and Bluetooth receiver. The delay may be several hundred millisecons. It is very unpleasant.
