Avantree Torpedo Plus Portable aptX Low Latency Bluetooth External Speaker for Laptop, MacBook, Desktop PC Computer, DSP Three Sound Modes Wireless Mini TV Soundbar for Seniors, No Audio Delay, Black

Ok. I’d like to share my experience with the avantree torpedo plus Bluetooth speaker. I purchased two of them. I’m glad I did. To be honest, I thought what I was trying to do would be very simple. Unfortunately it was not. I just didn’t have enough information. All I wanted to do was add a Bluetooth speaker in my kitchen and one in my bedroom. Sounds very simple. However it was not. Here’s my setup: I have a Samsung smart tv which plays sound through my home theatre receiver which is a Denon aw-3300. I purchased it about a year ago. The Denon is connected to a wired speaker system. Typical home theatre setup. But all wired. Two front speakers, two rear speakers, a center channel speaker, a subwoofer. Very old setup but it sounds good still. Fortunately, that particular receiver does support Bluetooth. But it only receives Bluetooth signals. It does not transmit Bluetooth. So to get Bluetooth sound in my kitchen I had to purchase an avantree oasis plus Low latency APTX Bluetooth transmitter and hook it to the Denon receiver. No big deal. That product is wonderful if anyone is considering it. Works great. However, I purchased two ultimate ears boom 2 Bluetooth speakers to place in the two other rooms. At the time I did not know what latency was. I didn’t know that your speakers had to also support low latency to avoid a delayed sound. Unfortunately I discovered that not many speakers supported this. I am not putting down the ultimate ears boom 2 speakers. I loved them. I wish I could have kept them. But I returned them. Here’s why: first of all the boom 2 speakers sounded great. But for my application they did not work. When I paired them with the avantree oasis plus transmitter, the sound coming out was delayed for almost a whole second. Unless I was doing something wrong there was no fix for this. That’s because ultimate ears boom 2 does not support low latency APTX. It was so annoying listening to a second delay throughout my apartment. Wow! Terrible. Ultimate ears customer support was very bad because I don’t think they really read my support ticket. Or they didn’t understand it. They responded by telling me to check my iPhone settings etc. My iPhone was never even in the picture at all. I never even mentioned my phone. I was not even using it. Lol. But they were trying to get me to check my phone. Go figure. All I was using was my tv and Denon receiver. Anyway I wish the ultimate ears boom 2 speakers did not have a one second delay emitting sound. But I couldn’t handle that. Very annoying. I wonder why more speakers don’t support APTX low latency? Ok. So I returned the speakers. Then I discovered the avantree torpedo plus Bluetooth speakers. When I saw the support for APTX low latency I purchased two of them. Well. They were amazing. Not a split second of delay in my kitchen and bedroom. Sounds uniform all throughout my place. They also sound very good. Sound quality is excellent but the boom 2 speakers sound better. Not going to lie. Ultimate ears boom 2 are wonderful. But hearing the one second delay didn’t cut it for me. But the sound quality on the torpedo plus speakers is very good. Plus it’s my kitchen. I didn’t need high end speakers for that. Lol. So if anyone is in my boat, buy these speakers. If you don’t need low latency, there are better speakers. But it’s 5 star all the way for torpedo plus!!! They also look nice. Also, avantree customer service is great. They actually respond to your emails.

I've owned three or four different wireless speakers over the past few years. But this one is the absolute best I have ever had or seen. I've used it on my laptop and my Television, and the sound is phenomenal for the size of the speaker.. I'm truly amazed at the level of quality that's packed into this little speaker.. Avantree has built a very respectable little unit here.. And I already own a pair of their headphones, so I am using the "Avantree Leaf" to pair with this speaker.. The two of them work fantastic together.. I can watch movies, and game with perfect lip sync.. There is no delay at all when watching TV or movies.. And it has just the right amount of bass and treble when set to 3D Surround Mode or Super Bass mode.. Battery life is pretty good for being a single 18650 Lithium Ion battery.. Lasts me about 4-6 hours depending on how loud I make the speaker.. But it also works just fine when plugged into power off USB while it's charging.. Takes about 2-3 hours to charge, but you can still use it while charging, so no big deal there.. One thing I would love to see in the next version of this product, is the ability of the user to actually be able to change the battery when it finally wears out.. There is easily the ability to build a little trap door battery compartment in the bottom where the battery could be accessed and swapped out by the user.. The way it is now, if the battery fails, there is no "easy" way to disassemble the entire unit just to change the battery in it.. Thus most people will just throw away a $60 speaker for no reason except a dead battery.. Why do that, when you could easily replace the battery for around $8 depending where you buy it.. All in all, I give this speaker a 5 star review.. The quality is there.. Granted, it will not compete against a $200 speaker, but it's not designed to do so.. If you have "realistic" expectations out of it, you'll be very happy with it.. Just don't expect to get $200 sound out of a $60 speaker is all I'm saying.. As far as wireless range? Excellent! I took it almost 75 feet away from my laptop and it performed as if it was sitting right next to it.. However, I also credit the Avantree Leaf Transmitter for that as well.. It really sends that signal out far and wide.. The two were made for each other.. I love this speaker so much, I'm ordering two more of them for safe keeping. I love this speaker and it works great with my laptop, so I don't ever want to be without it in case they quit making this model.. It's the perfect size for my laptop case.. Thank you Avantree for building a really nice product here..

It took me a while and a fair number of experiments to work this out, but the bar is now working and I am generally pleased. The most significant problem resolved was that the sound bar was incompatible with Firefox, my default browser. After switching to Chrome, difficulties receiving sound from the internet were fixed. I had not seen this particular fix mentioned in the fora I consulted for ideas. Before getting bluetooth to work, I had been able to correct the auxiliary wired connection. This was troubled by the extraneous noise, a hiss or buzz, that was omnipresent. This noise, which all but obviates any advantage in the bar vs. the laptop itself, is absent when bluetooth is used. Thus auxiliary is really not a serious option, at least for my set-up. Customer service was very attentive, but I had better luck on my own. The sound with bluetooth is satisfactory, definitely far better than my surface pro 6 produces. I am able to ramp up the volume with a program I use called Musescore, and it becomes plenty loud, though at some point there is, not surprisingly, significant distortion. Generally speaking I am satisfied with the product. I would comparison shop if a replacement were needed, but I might well purchase this again. It now works and sounds pretty much as I expected for a device at this price. I give it a "4" Positives are quality of sound and attentive customer service. It has also been trouble free once I got the Bluetooth to be functional. Negatives include auxiliary sound buzz and for difficulties in initial set-up. Also a bit surprised that the incompatibility with Firefox has apparently not been recognized previously. ORIGINAL POST: [I don't expect Bluetooth to work, and it didn't. The connection comes on and off, but no matter, there is no sound either way. This is why I selected a speaker for my Surface Pro 6 that could also be wired. This should be a no-brainer. Indeed, so obvious is the set-up for a wired connection that this option isn't even mentioned in the quick-start guide. However, NO sound with wired connection, either. If "Support" comes up with a simple fix promptly I'll revise the rating, but right now this is just another piece of junk cluttering my desk.]

I had been searching for more-or-less a miniature wireless sound bar to use on a tv as part of a bedroom configuration - I wanted a decent quality sound at my headboard shelf so we could watch shows without bothering the kids @ bedtime, etc. Size (limited space to work with Ton the headboard), performance/quality and reasonable price were factors. I considered another Samsung R1 WiFi speaker, but they seem to be on the road to being phased out. (and never really blew my socks off in the first place) So I tried a generic BT transmitter with a standard, reputable decent quality speaker. The inherent lag was unacceptable - everything had that dubbed Godzilla movie effect, I’m much too OCD to deal with it. (Disclaimer - I’m a minor, hardly authoritative AVophile with a fairly sensitive eye/ear, I may be a little bit on the spectrum when it comes to this type of thing) The audio delay in the tv settings only worsened the problem - what you’d almost need to make such a thing work would actually be a video delay setting, not sure if that’s even a thing. I took a chance on this combo - the speaker along with the Avantree transmitter with low latency. Very simple install and startup at a reasonable price ($100-plus before tax for the set). Well, I am glad to report that the chance paid off - under a fair amount of scrutiny and testing, there is no discernible video delay. This setup is fantastic! Low latency is definitely where it’s at to avoid lip sync issues w/video. Sound quality of the speaker is fantastic - it’s not a high end speaker, at this size and cost it has limitations. But for a relatively basic non-home theater application, it puts out good, rich sound with a few mixing options, including Extra Bass (my usual default for now) and a Surround setting that I haven’t quite figured out yet. I’m using it fairly consistently in the same spot plugged into the wall, so I can’t speak to the charge. Minor complaint - the USB power/charge cable could have been a little bit longer. Avantree has followed up with emails regarding overall satisfaction, faqs/troubleshooting, etc that is kind of a nice touch. All in all, a fantastic little speaker that actually achieved what I was about to give up on. I may be chancing the $50 on a second speaker in the not-too-distant future and see how a multi speaker application works -

Has a really good sound for a soundbar so small. I bought this to supplement the soundbar on my television. I have a hearing problem and really wanted the aptX Low Latency to avoid the "echo" effect if the speakers are not in sync. The Torpedo is easy to use, easy to pair, but also that is where the problem lies. The unit will often lose sync on the station I'm watching, but often remains good on other stations. The only remedy I've found so far is to re-pair with the transmitter on my TV. It is an Avantree Prima III which seems to work fine. It's also paired with my Audition Pro headphones and I've never had a problem between them. Other than the sync problem and a battery that is good for about 5 hours (it's listed at 6) the unit works as advertised and sounds great.

I received this with the transmitter from Avantree and they work great together. Transmitter: Avantree Priva III I primarily bought it to have sound from the TV close to me so as not to keep the family awake when I watch while the rest of the clan is asleep. Couple things to note: 1) sound quality is good, but not great if you are using it for high quality music. Great for background... Bass is only OK (as you would expect from a small speaker) 2) I leave it plugged in, so am not too worried about turning it off and on. It's new so I don't know what that will do for long term battery. 3) When I undock, it travels through the house nicely. watching TV from a far room (like the kitchen) without it blaring through the house is my favorite feature. 4) audio sync is realtime. Lip sync is way better than older Bluetooth connections. Almost perfectly in sync with the tv sound if they are both on. 5) some reviews have complained about a loud beep. That ONLY happens when you push the volume button and it has reached the max or minimum. Volume can be controlled from the TV. (I have the transmitter hooked to the headphone port of the TV. I put the TV on mute, which does not affect the Headphone port. Volume from TV up/down works fine.) 6) the product comes with a USB cord, but not an AC-USB converter. Some usability feedback for Avantree: 1) the volume "up" volume button should be switched with the "mode" button. My intuition is the up volume button should be above the down volume, not behind it. The "mode" button does not need to be the most accessible button. 2) volume buttons should be continuous. Currently I need to repeatedly hit the button to get is softer and softer (or louder and louder). It's a step function. I should be able to hold them down, the volume should keep getting quieter or louder for as long as I'm pressing the button. Overall, I am very satisfied. The look is sleek, the feel is soft, the sound fully meets my expectations (Keeping in mind this is a small $60 speaker)

Definitely returning this Avantree Bluetooth speaker. $67 for this crap? The various sound modes do nothing to make the speaker sound better than it actually is. Awful, distorted, unlistenable sound on extra bass mode, even at low volume. The “balanced” mode was anything but — no bass, weak, pathetic sound that can’t compete with cheaper speakers you can buy today. The 3D mode sounded better than the first two, but that’s not saying much. It sounded passable but not particularly satisfying. Can’t believe that the people at Avantree thought that this piece of junk is actually worth selling! The disappointment prevented me from trying the other EQ modes and at that point, I really just wanted to put the speaker back in its packaging and get rid of it. It’s garbage.

The default sound setting sounds like any cheapo bluetooth speaker but this speaker is not cheap. The only other sound setting that is usable is the extra bass setting. This setting adds so much to the sound quality and actually sounds great, only problem is low end tones just wash out and ruin anything this speaker has going for it at any usable volume. Just too much bass for this little guy to handle. This should be put in the speakers description so people know not to buy it. The speaker is also strikingly smaller than the photos make it seem. aptX is sweet and should be standard in 2023, so no problem with latency. They got that right at least.

Si lo quieres usar para un monitor como es mi caso este es un dispositivo indispensable , muy buen sonido ,su opción Superbass funciona muy bien , y la opción 3d es la bomba para ver películas ,es una emulación 3d por supuesto solo hay dos altavoces , pero esta muy bien lograda , es la primera vez que doy un cinco estrellas , pero en este caso para mi las merece , su relación calidad/precio es inmejorable segun mi opinion

Top geluid voor deze prijs!

I initially encountered some difficulty syncing the product with my Mac mini. However, after resolving the issue, it has been working flawlessly. The sound quality is impressive, offering a good volume level when needed. Additionally, its compact and lightweight design is a major plus. Overall, I am pleased with its performance so far.

Perfetto, piccolo ma potente, lo uso in veranda, quando la sera mi rilasso guardando la tv, avevo il problema delle auto o camion che transitavano nella statale a fianco di casa, il rumore dei motori che sfrecciavano a velocità elevate, mi obbligavano ad aumentare e subito dopo a diminuire il volume della tv. Ora non più, dopo averlo sintonizzato con il Bluetooth (una volta solo) della tv lo posiziono davanti a me, sul tavolino e sento tutto senza interruzioni. Semplice da installare, comodo da trasportare, lo uso anche con il pc, che dire, lo straconsiglio, soldi spesi bene. Ciao.

Il suffit de la mettre sous-tension, synchroniser avec un émetteur Bluetooth (tablette, smartphone etc...) et écouter. Ce n'est point plus compliqué que ça. Excellent produit à la fois discret, compact et pratique, un élément indispensable que l'on emmène partout pour peu que l'on souhaite écouter avec un son de meilleure qualité. La batterie se charge avec un câble USB (fourni) via le chargeur de votre tablette ou celui de votre smartphone. Elle peut aussi se connecter par un câble équipé de prises jack 3,5 mm mâle-mâle (fourni) à une source audio non Bluetooth. Le son est bien clair, le mode Super Bass est appréciable car le volume sonore est plus puissant que les 2 autres modes. L'idée de colorer chaque mode de fonctionnement avec une couleur de diode différente n'est pas mal du tout. Au chapitre des regrets, il lui manque un réglage basse-médium et un bouton circulaire façon potentiomètre est préférable à la place des 2 touches + et - pour ajuster le volume.
