Why is YouTube sound delayed through Bluetooth headphones?

I have a pair of Turtle Beach Bluetooth headphones. They work perfectly on my S3 and old iPod Touch. The only problem that I have with them is when I try to watch YouTube on my laptop, as the sound is severely delayed. Everything else on my laptop works with my headphones. It's fine when I plug the headphones in, but that obviously defeats the whole purpose of having wireless headphones. How can I reduce the audio lag on YouTube?
