Avantree HT5009 Plus – Wireless TV Headphones for TVs with Optical (TOSLINK) or AUX Audio Output, Clear Voice and Volume Boost, Comfortable Over-Ear Fit, 60H Battery Life, Charging Dock Included

Our Avantree products have been a lifesaver for us. My partner is now 80 years old and has trouble hearing the TV even with his hearing aids. He used to have the volume up so high I could hear it outside the house and I'm sure the neighbors did too. I tried a couple of products but they weren't great. I found an Avantree system and I tried it. Perfect! This was probably 10 years ago and used wired headphones that plugged into a small receiver connected to the transmitter. A few years ago, I saw they had a wireless version and gave it a shot. My partner loved them. No wires to get tangled up in and the sound was excellent and also no delay in the sound transmission. The headphones are very light and earpads are so soft. He can and does wear them for hours at a time. He recently lost the sound in one side of his headphones. After checking them myself, indeed, one side had no sound.. I reached out to Avantree through the Amazon link and was contacted by Rosally through email. She had us ship the headphones back and within a few days we had new headphones. She kept us informed throughout the replacement process. Once again my partner is happy as a clam! I would highly recommend Avantree devices to anyone, either for issues hearing the TV or simply to watch TV late at night and not disturb the household. They are easy to set up and use and the sound is amazing for the price! This is now our third Avantree system and they keep getting better and better. Amazing products and their customer service is wonderful! G viets

I'm now on my second Avantree product for TV watching/listening. I've used their Audition Pro for many (many!) years and it has served me exceptionally well. But, since the headband is completely worn out and I've gone through a few sets of ear pads, I decided it was time for a replacement. Rather than try for another Audition Pro (I don't think they even still make it) I opted for the HT5009 headset/transmitter package. Very easy to set up the transmitter (I'm using the optical connection with pass through to my sound bar), and the headphones pair quickly and reliably. The headset fits my head and ears as well as the old Audition Pro - very light and comfortable. Sound quality is excellent and I can set the equalization for voice or music listening with a toggle on the headset. The transmitter will support two headphones and will even pair with my old Audition Pro but it isn't a good solution as the voice/video are not perfectly in sync with that old headset. I guess if you want to use two headphones with the transmitter then stick with the headphone model they recommend. One caveat, if you integrate your sound bar and TV via HDMI then the transmitter may not be the best choice as it has to connect via headphone cable or optical connection. And your TV must be set to use PCM output. This is OK for me but might not be for you. All in all, this is a really great solution for TV listening for long after your partner heads off to bed or if you have trouble hearing the dialog on some TV shows. I've not had to use Avantree tech support but there are all sorts of ways to contact them if needed and I feel they will be standing by for my call or email. Highly recommended. UPDATE: I found out that, depending on your TV and sound bar, you can connect your TV to the sound bar via HDMI (allows the TV to turn on/off the sound bar, adjust volume, etc.) and still use the TV's optical output to drive the Avantree headphone transmitter. Still have to set the sound output to PCM (and not Dolby, etc.) but the sound quality is still great on my sound bar. And, since the Avantree transmitter has an optical splitter built in, I now have an optical cable running from the Avantree transmitter to my old low latency bluetooth transmitter that connects to my old Avantree Audition Pro headset. Voila! Both new and old Avantree headsets now connect perfectly so I'm set up for two listeners at once. Even more recommended now.

This is a surprisingly good TV headphone set. I get clear sound even going 35 feet and through two walls. They are comfortable to wear for an evening's TV watching. The downside is do not expect good musical reproduction as these are meant for TV and do filter out a lot of the over modulation some programs have. The other problem is lack of volume control and switches that are hard to use. Very easy hook-up. Overall a 4.5 on my scale.

今まで、使ってきたワイヤレスヘッドホンの中で 最高の一品。 ひと晩充電しておけば、翌日はまる一日使える。 また、雑音がほぼ入らないのもありがたい。 何より感激したのは、ヘッドバンドがやわらかくて、 長時間装着していても頭が痛くならないこと。 リモートワークにもお勧めです。

Overall this is a fairly ok purchase. That is the highest praise i can give it. It did work according to the instructions and the write-up on amazon. The shortcomings are as follows. 1. The headphone is described is over-ears. I am small size and it barely covered my ears. It is NOT over ears and even for me it was only on-ears. So with people with "bigger heads" beware! lol! 2. The Bluetooth transmitter "speaks" out loudly every single time you connect the device is switched on and every single time the headphone is connected to the transmitter. I live in a small apartment with others and I watch tv late at night. Every time I switch it on it announces to everyone in the apartment that I am watching TV. The manufacturer should have made it possible to switch off this "voice". 3. This might not be a game changer but the power connection is by USB only. Thus you need to buy a USB adapter to connect it to the power socket. It in itself is not much but actually does add to the whole experience which is not positive. Thus, I ended up returning the product for a full refund. I will not recommend to anyone who uses headphones to watch TV regularly and looks for a quality product.

Globalement très satisfait de cet achat. Les points positifs: 1) Le casques est confortable même porté plusieurs heures; 2) La batterie tient très longtemps; 3) Le setup et la connexion est assez simple, les cables pour les différentes options sont fournis (voir néanmoins difficultés ci-dessous) 4) La qualité audio est bonne; 5) Si nécessaire, le casque peut être remplacé par un casque audio plus qualitatif; 6) Le prix est correct pour la qualité du produit. Les points négatifs: 1) Le réglage est à priori simple mais peut nécessiter une configuration spéciale (par example j'ai dû déselectionner l'option "format automatique" dans les options audio avancées sans quoi la connexion entre le tranmitter et le casque ne se faisait pas); 2) Pas d'option de mise en "auto-power off" donc risque de retouver le casque déchargé; 3) Pas de chargeur pour recharger le casque, seul un cable micro-usb - usb; 4) Pas de réglage du son ( bass/treble).

I love this head set. It’s easy to set up and to operate. Being a bit deaf I use it instead of my hearing aid.

Works well, arrived quickly
