Avantree HT41899

Excellent dual set of headphones. I bought these almost a year ago and have waited to review to see how they performed. I needed these so my partner and I can watch TV at night without waking our son up, who is a very light sleeper. I read tons of review and looked at different brands, these seemed a good performing set at a good price. I was nervous about the lag issue but these are really excellent, no lag and they have agreat sound quality. It takes seconds to plug into the tv and turn the headphones on, and to get the tv back to regular sound I just pull out the jack. Great purchase that I'm very happy with.

Bought these because NHS ear aids hardly helped in giving us clear speech on the tv. These 'phones were just amazing, They were clear with good volume available and easy set up. Enough listening time to have a once-a-week overnight charge. Much much better for the neighbours than full volume on the tv speakers. We both wear specs and mine can press against my head after a couple of hours or so. Could be the thin metal of my frames as my wife has no problem. Very very pleased with the product. Recently one of the 'phones stopped charging, but the problem was resolved by Avantree, quickly and politely, with a final e-mail to check the replacement had arrived and all was now resolved. So the warranty works well too.

After nearly 2 years these headphones have actually been pretty good. Sound is ok for the price point and generally the connection is fairly stable, with the occasional issue that a switch on switch off usually fixes. The only issue is one side of one set has stopped working after about a year. Loose connection I would say, but other than that the been a good purchase.

They look good and feel good too, very comfortable and adjustable to all size heads,. Sound quality on the actual headphones will I believe, depend on your tv, I used the 3.5 mm headphone lead to connect the transmitter, and that made the sound a great deal better on our tv, I have to use the tv remote to set the volume level high enough for the headphones range, which was a lot lower number than the other optical method. So if your tv has both connection methods, try both to see which one works best for you from your tv, But me and my partner think they look good, feel good and sound great, happy with them. But, for older generations may find the instructions a little confusing , not like we were used to, but its not too difficult to work them out. I connected them to Sony 43" smart tv and they do what we needed and hoped for, worth the cost IF you can get them to work for you, patience may be required, not all TVs make it that easy, so check your tv outputs before ordering,. Transmitter is powered by standard USB port, so you just plug two leads into your tv and turn the transmitter on, and select for one set or both, they are colour coded so you know which se tot use for single user. Ps, most tv's do not do they have red or white RCD ports anymore so don't bother taking it out of the packet unless you want to alternate them for a stereo music player. too.

Excellent for home use, top sound quality. Can highly recommend

So, these are some decent headphones, and although the sound can be lacking, this is normal for headphones to send data to two sets while keeping the sound in sync, remember this. Quality is very good but lacking base. Sound issues? Well, only use the OPTICAL connection, anything else will suffer greatly. It is the best connection. The AUX is the worst connection, so don't use it. Bluetooth connection issues? This is possible, but remember to pair both the main unit and the headphones one by one. A long press on the headphones is needed to pair the first time. A long press is also needed on the main unit to enter paring mode. Both the headphones light and main unit light should rapidly flash blue and red if they are in paring mode. Once paired, when you turn on at a later time, sometimes they connect automatically, other times you may need to press the main button on the headphones once to connect (don't hold) only press quickly. I can reach out to anyone in questions of you post one below and mention my username. I've familiarised myself with the problems people have posted and replicated many and have fixes. Of course Avantree should be your first port of call.

A slight fault on the recharging of one if my headphones. Thanks to Rie, and having purchased them over a year ago, the problem was resolved by them supplying a new ones. The service was polite, efficient and incredibly quick. Thank you so much.

Bought the two headphone version, needs a charging cable for the transmitter and it would have been good to also have a cable for each headphone but only supplied for one headphone so cant charge at the same time, also the connecters onto the headphone are the old type, and unlike the later C connectors have to be inserted the correct way round which is a bit fiddly. I used the optical input from my Samsung smart tv and this allows the tv sound to remain on or off as required, there is plenty of volume on the headphones and can be adjusted on the transmitter as well as the headphones. I did find after a while my ears got a bit too hot though. Set-up went through with no problems.
