I know that using Airpods with iPhone/Mac doesn't have a lipsync issue because iOS/OSX automatically delays audio slightly to compensate, but when trying to use Airpods with a bluetooth transmitter (TaoTronics Bluetooth Transmitter) which is connected to the headphone jack in my Yamaha A/V receiver, there is a noticeable lipsync delay.

I've read that bluetooth headphones by nature have this delay, in the case of Airpods it's up to 250ms or so.

Does anyone have any recommendations on using Airpods with TVs? I'm currently investigating whether there A/V receivers that can be paired natively with bluetooth headphones without needing an adapter which seems the best way but it doesn't seem like a common feature and I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle switching receivers.
