I've never not known latency in BT when watching video, and it bugs me no end.
BT 5.0 was supposed to specifically address that, but I haven't put the kit together to check that out.
I have no idea of my threshold to detect it, but I've not ever noticed it with wired cans.
So for me, BT is only for audio, except for the occasional video podcast to which I'm only listening.
VLC will let one delay or advance an audio track, but it's too finicky for me to bother with.
And if one backs up or forwards the video, the 'sync' is lost.
As for WiFi / AirPlay type speakers, I assume with good throughput in one's network, the greater bandwidth reduces latency below the average threshold.
WiFi cans are rare, if they currently exist at all, though I'd consider the cost, if they were effective.
Wireless ear/headphones are really freeing, and a WiFi iteration might be suitable for critical listening as well as convenience.
