One of the main criteria to select a wireless headphone for TV is minimal latency to avoid sound sync issues. However many headphones in this article have considerable latency to be unfit for TV watching.

Why did you do that?

Yeah, why are you recommending Sony's WH-1000XM3? They have terrible delay.

I bought a pair of the sony wh-1000xm4 this week. The audio latency is disgraceful! Within 15 minutes of watching a movie, the latency is approachin 1 second!! You have to reset the bluetooth connection every 10 minutes to be able to watch anything. I returned my pair.

This article is a joke.
Their No.1 TV headphone, the Sony XM4 does not support the aptX codex, so it does not support the low latency aptX LL.
They may be the best for listening to music from a smart TV app, but not for watching movies.
