HT5009 - Wireless Headphones for TV Watching with Clear Dialogue Mode, Enhanced Volume & Comfortable Fit for Seniors, 40hrs Bluetooth Headset, 164ft, Pass-Through Support, No Audio Delay

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.

These are very comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. It could not have been easier to set up. I'd almost call it foolproof but you know there is always someone that cannot figure out plug one end into base and other end into TV. But it is exactly that easy. Take the base, plug one end of the optical cable into the base and other end into the TV. Connect power and done. That's it. There is 1 extra step if you use a sound bar but its pretty much the same. Connect Optical cable from TV to Base then connect another Optical cable from Base to Sound Bar. There, done. And the sound bar works as before. I'd give these headphones 4.8 stars if I could. They are nearly perfect for me with only a couple of.....not complaints but irritations. Irritation 1... Cannot use when charging. Now with 40 hours of battery life you would think that this would not be an issue but there is no battery light to tell you how much charge is left and I prefer to let electronics run all the way down before recharging. Yes I know the manufactures say batteries no longer build charge memories but they DO. My phone is a perfect example, I never used it for more than 2 hours before putting on the charger and now my battery only holds a 2 hour charge. So it would be nice that when the headphones run out of power, I could then just connect a charging cable and charge while using it. Just a minor irk but still. Irritation 2... I dislike the charging cover. I must always find a tool to pop the cover so I can connect the charging cable. I know they made it like this to keep it looking nice and to keep it clean but it is still annoying. So much so I cut the d@mn thing off. I dont think it looks bad without it and I can clean it if it gets dirty. Irritation 2.5.... Not really a complaint or even an irritation just something that would make it even more comfortable. I wish the ear cups were slightly deeper. They work fine and they dont hurt or anything but they do push my ears just ever so slightly. So the rim of my ear touches the foam covering the speaker. If the padding on the cups was even 50% thicker my ears would not touch and I'd be happier. But unless you have ears that stick out like Dumbo, I dont think they will be too bad. Just one of those little things. Overall I am very please with these. I use them for TV watching and Gaming and am very pleased. On a side note. These have a very good distance. I used them yesterday while mowing the lawn. I turned on music on the TV and wore them while riding the lawn tractor and only once did I loose signal for just a sec at the far end of the yard., About 150 feet. I dont recommend them for this purpose but I wanted to see just what they could do. Anyway they ave excellent range.

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).

This now my 3rd type of tv headphones, and they are great, super light and the receiver draws power directly from the tvs usb so no need for an extra power point to plug it in. Happy with that.

Tried a range of other brands including very expensive ones. Value for money, this pair are hands down the pick of the bunch. Long battery life per charge, rugged but comfortable (they pass the falling asleep with them on and not breaking with flying colors) and so easy to use. Highly recommend. Currently looking at getting their Bluetooth to iPad/iPhone as they also appear to be rugged but light weight and easy to connect. Only downside is the Bluetooth signal distance. It’s good but not quite as good as some others.
