Just curious. Is there a noticeable time delay between the picture and audio playback via BT headphones?
Bluetooth headphones lip sync?

I have noticed a very, very slight problem on both of our Hoppers with two different headsets (one ear buds, the other over the ear. You really have to be looking for it. Under normal viewing, it is not noticeable. If you have the head sets on and the TV volume up you can hear a slight echo, which tells me, since there is no sync problem with either TV, that it is the Bluetooth head sets. Like I said, not noticeable listening with only the headsets. Someone using headsets while others are watching the same TV, because of a hearing problem, might get annoyed with the reverb.

SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC: There are times that I like to listen to The Hoppers' SiriusXM channels on my sound bar using Bluetooth with the TV off. When I turn the TV back on and tune it to a channel with people speaking, there is a very noticeable lip sync issue. Since I only use the Hopper's Bluetooth option to listen to SiriusXM music, it doesn't bother me. But, the lip sync issue is definitely there.
So... The delay is being caused by the bluetooth-endabled sound bar?
The sound bar works perfectly when synced with Bluetooth on all of my other devices. So, I'm not sure if it's the Hopper, the Sound Bar, or the combination of the two. All I know is, there is an issue which is not present when combining the sound bar with other devices by way of Bluetooth.
Not really off topic.
I am sure if you turned the TV on when listening to music on Sirius XM on the Hopper through your Sound Bar, you would hear the echo/reverb that I am talking about also.

The reason I asked is other people who bought a Miccus Home RTX (don't know what headphones they had) described an unwatchable delay when used with a TV (or receiver). I bought one, and I was interested if I had a fallback position if it was unusable, i.e. upgrade to a Hopper. It turns out the delay is exactly as you described above: small and not really noticeable without the TV sound being on at the same time.
Thanks again to everyone who shared their insight.
