Avantree HT5006 - Wireless Neckband Headphones for TV

This device has enabled me to enjoy TV movies again. I’m hard of hearing and my hearing aids are as good as they make. My TV has an added sound bar, but movies and shows come through with garbled conversation. Getting this Avantree transmitter with wireless earbuds changed this. For the first time in years I can hear conversation in movies and shows on TV. I researched the HT5006 along with similar transmitters and decided to go with the top rated Avantree. Its pass-through capability is one of its prime features. It turned out to be a wise purchase. From my perspective, they’re worth every dollar. I’m not dwelling on the sound quality of LL vs. HD, because I’m neither an audiophile nor in need of ANC headphones. To be fair, the earbuds could be improved, but I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Since my TV doesn’t have a USB C 5 volt 2Amp output, I needed to buy a good multi-port transformer. In my opinion, Avantree could have done a better job stressing this requirement more than they do in their video instruction and manual. The USB C power supply is critical to its operation. Even reviews don’t make this clear. It needs one output for transmitter power supply and another for charging the earbuds. I’m not used to wearing earbuds, so I needed to get used to them. They’re comfortable, and in the future I can get a decent set of wireless earphones to pair with the second pairing capability of the transmitter. The earbuds don’t have a muting capability, but removing the buds is a good alternative to including an expensive muting capability. The Avantree earbud “harness” is all right, but takes a little getting used to. Small potatoes! I recommend this Avantree HT5006 (earbuds) without reservation, but if wearing earbuds is bothersome, I would just as easily recommend the HT5009 with the wireless headphones. If you’re hard of hearing as I am, you can’t do better. They'e essential.

I'm impressed so far with this product. It includes a few different cables, allowing you a few different connection options. The transmitter supports 2 headsets at once. The headphones boast a 17 hour playtime (at 60% volume). My Samsung TV says it can output audio to the TV speakers, a Receiver, or Optical. It turns out that it actually outputs to both the receiver AND optical when the receiver option is selected, and only optical when optical is selected. This is perfect! I didn't want to have to switch inputs or plug/unplug cables to switch from speakers to headset, and I don't. I can just mute the TV and turn on the earbuds. I connected the Avantree transmitter to my TVs optical out and one of it's USB ports and found a place to hang it on the back of the TV. The earbuds include 3 different sizes for both the rubber tips and for the weird protruding rubber things that rest against the our ear. Those weird things can also be removed if you don't like them. They are soft, not hard plastic. The wires on the earbuds are a weird flat cable type, and they tend to prefer to bend in their own way. Amazon is not providing the fell specs, so I will do that. The important thing to note is that the transmitter supports BT 5.0 and aptX LL. The earbuds are BT 4.1 and do not support aptX. Both devices support and use the proprietary FastStream protocol, but you can also use headsets that rely on aptX or aptX LL protocols with the transmitter. This combination is a good idea as it allows for an overall lower price on the combo yet also allows you to use other headsets that support aptX instead of FastStream.

This was the 4th tv\wifi\headphone device I have ordered, lot of others failed miserably, this one made the grade - finally! I stay up late to watch movies, this works great for that! also, I bit hard of hearing so.... Easy to set up, syncs up immediately with the included headset. Long battery life, I'd say about 6-7 movies worth. Sounds is as good as you would expect from this type, but still pretty good sound. I thought I would have problems with the in-ear style, but after trying the different cone\fittings, medium works just fine, does not start to ache after 2 movies, no problem. ++ is the independent volume control, good range. bypass feature. 3 stars are because the optical cable included did not work, no response from their helpdesk on that....had to buy another via amazon...go fig.

I got these so I could listen to the tv through the earbuds at a louder volume than my wife, who is listening to the TV speakers. It’s a crap shoot though. Some TV’s will mute the internal speakers if something is plugged into one of its auxiliary ports, and then only the earbuds work. I was lucky. Our M-Series Vizio TV did not mute its speakers, so now we can watch TV together and I can now hear what’s going on. Before, I had to have the volume too high on the TV speakers, as I’m a bit hard of hearing. This was annoying for her and we couldn’t both watch at the same time. Now we can. Avantree makes a good system for this, and it’s easy to install. I used the optical port and it works fine. The earbuds volume is completely independent of the speaker volume, meaning that she can turn the speakers up and down without changing my earbud volume. Perfect. The earbuds themselves sound good but not great. Maybe they are great and I just can’t tell. If one of you needs to hear the TV at a different volume, get this setup. If it doesn’t work they will happily refund you and suggest another product that might work. Avantree has a number of different solutions for TV audio. Also, this setup would make it possible to listen with the internal speakers completely off if someone is trying to sleep. I’m happy to have found a TV gadget that solves our audio problem. Thank you Avantree. We can stay married now. That’s worth $90 eh?

I purchased the Wireless Headphone Earbuds in hopes of resolving a constant fuss between my Mother and I when watching TV. My Mother wears hearing aids which are super sensitive, almost to the point she can hear a pin drop. She insists that the TV volume be set so low that I can barely understand what is being said. If the TV volume was too high, she complained. If the TV volume was too low, I complained. After receiving the Aventree HT5006 Wireless Earbuds, I very easily connected it to my Direct TV Box and tried them out. The days of fussing and complaining about the TV volume were over! I was able to adjust the TV volume on the Earbuds as low or high as I pleased, without actually interfering with the actual TV volume. My Mother can set the TV volume to her satisfaction using the Direct TV remote and I can adjust the volume of the audio thru the Direct TV Box using my Earbuds to my satisfaction! Even if my Mother Mutes the TV using the Direct TV remote, I can STILL hear the program just fine. I am even able to walk around the house to go to the kitchen or bathroom and I can continue to hear the program just fine. The battery life is great and charging the earbuds using the USB cable is a snap! I received the Earbuds within the timeframe quoted by the Seller and have no complaints. I would not hesitate to recommend these Earbuds to anyone. They have been a Lifesaver, believe me!

I purchased the Avantree HT5006 Wireless In-ear Headphones two years ago to use with my bedroom TV. I found them to be relatively easy to connect and set up, extremely comfortable to wear, and very durable. I'm old and have had a hard time understanding dialog on the TV, especially considering the cheap speakers in most TV's. The HT5006 made speech very clear and easy to understand. After using the headset every night, all night for two years, the batteries apparently reached the end of their life-cycle. Believing I had registered the device with Avantree which would have extended my warranty to two years, I emailed them to ask for a replacement headset only to find I had, in fact, failed to register the device. However, Avantree generously replaced the headset (model BTHS NB-16) at no cost anyway and provided the guidance to pair and lock it with the existing transmitter. (Note that according to their website all Avantree products now come with a two year warranty.) I give my highest recommendation for the HT5006 and for Avantree for the way they stand behind their products and their excellent product support. It's so rare these days to find either a product or company that meets or exceeds al expectations.

I like the headphones, but returned & replaced them once & considering it again. It works fine for a week or so then begins to crackle intermittently again. I love earbuds, but my ears must be between normal sizes. The buds fall out. The smaller ones are too small and the ones that appear to be in between don’t seat well in my ears and fall out. The volume control is good on the up and down volume, but the crackle is becoming more annoying. Getting ready to return them again.

I have Otiicon hearing aids, and until recently used their streamer. However, the streamer is twice as expensive as this device, and was a subpar product in terms of quality and long term performance. This device works much better, but I can't comment as yet on long term performance. Setup was a bit difficult for my Samsung Smart TV with sound bar. (I am using the optical connection option of the TV) This seems to be due to the sound bar also using bluetooth. I wound up disabling the sound bar temporarily during set up. Occasionally, the sound bar becomes non-responsive, and I have to turn it off and on or even refresh the setup connection with the TV. For these reasons I have given it four instead of five stars. There are over the ears headset available with other devices. If you aren't use to in the ear earbuds (such as Apple AirPods) you may have some initial discomfort, but I found that with continued use you get use to it. Over the ear headsets, on the other hand, tend to make my ears hot after a while. They are also heavier, but to each their own. Be aware that you are responsible to keep the volume at a reasonable level, because unlike hear-aid streamers, there is no attempt to regulate volume to a safe level. Overall, I find this device and excellent solution to my hearing impairment.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Besonders wenn man schwerhörig ist. Lautstärke unabhängig vom Ausgangssignal des Fernsehers regelbar.

Semplice da installare. Suono nitido e chiaro; volume sufficientemente alto da ovviare a problemi di udito anche gravi. Soprattutto nessun fruscio di fondo e segnale che copre fino a una decina di metri (senza ostacoli). Preciso che utilizzo l'ingresso optical. Durata delle batterie da verificare (cuffie appena consegnate). Non ho capito invece perché i canali in HD sono muti. Forse incompatibile con l'uscita ottica? C'è anche il microfono, quindi sono compatibili con telefonini. Aggiornamento. Risolto il problema dei canali in HD. Occorre impostare l'uscita audio in PCM, altrimenti le cuffie sono mute

Pour écouter la télé. J'avais déjà essayé des écouteurs bluetooth sans fil il y avait un délai audio. Si j'avais connu ce produit avant je l'aurais acheté c'est tout ce dont je rêvais. Que personne ne me dise que la télé est trop forte car problème de surdité modéré. Mon mari peut écouter la télé à son volume désiré et moi aussi. Le son est super bon avant j'avais des coquilles ce qui peut s'avérer chaud et trop gros . Aucun délai audio j'adore. Le seul petit point négatif est bouton volume petit mais après 1 semaine je suis habitué. Ah le tour du cou belle flexibilité. J'ai dû me servir de la guarantie après 18 mois d'utilisation et le tout s'est bien réglé ils m'ont envoyé un autre nb16 je recommande fortement cet appareil.

Poor sound quality.

Recibido todo bien gracias
