Avantree Wireless Headphones for TV Watching, Enhanced TV Dialogue Clarity for Senior, Supports Any 3.5mm AUX Headphones, Left-Right Balance Adjustment, Ambient Awareness Mode - HT380

I have 80% hearing loss in one ear compared to the other and I have tried a number of Bluetooth earbuds to get stereo back for music and video. This system is the best I've seen. The main reason is probably that it is NOT Bluetooth but is a dedicated one-way RF wireless (wifi) connection. I know this because the transmitter and receiver will not pair with any Bluetooth audio device, has much better volume and fidelity than the best (Samsung) Bluetooth earbuds, has NO audio latency with video, and stays connected with no signal loss through at least four house walls 50 feet distant. The best part is the receiver has a good balance control that provides me with equal hifi stereo at more than enough volume. The transmitter has three pre-defined sound "modes" besides flat but I would prefer treble/bass controls instead. The supplied earbuds look cheap and small but are surprisingly very good and are, for my ears, the most comfortable I've tried, although you can just plug in your own headset. My only complaint is the earbuds leads are too short but an extension cord solves that. It not only comes with an extra battery but the transmitter/charger has a separate charging port for that in addition to the receiver's charging port. The battery is proprietary so you can only get replacements from the vendor, probably the only real negative. They supply adapters for just about any audio connection you can think of and even a mike for old TVs that have no external connector. Finally, there's a big button on the receiver that turns the earbuds into a two-ear ambient hearing aid that is actually very good, although mono only. The ads show old people wearing the neck cord, which appears to be the antenna, but I just coil it up and put the receiver in my pocket. This system is well worth the price.

I bought this item for my 92 year old mother, and she claims that she could not hear her TV any better. Well, I put this up to her being a Luddite, her rabbit-ear TV set, and her really poor hearing. I assisted her in getting the device properly configured, but in the end it was just not for her. However, I tried out the device myself before I gave it to her, and I thought it was GREAT!It really could not be easier to use. The sound quality was good (for me), the instructions were very easy to follow, and the device came with so many adapters for TV sets and ear-bud fittings that it is truly a universal product. The product quality (assembly, fit-and-finish. compact size) are superb. It seems like an excellent value for the price.I would like to give this product 4.5 stars (since, in the end, it did not work for my superannuated mother - sort of the intended audience), but I figured a 4-star rating would penalize the manufacturer for my mothers shortcomings.

Been through 3 different brands of these terrible listening devices for my elderly uncle. While this design is better than the other “stalk” designs, this Avantree might be the worst one because there’s no safety feature on the external mic volume. If the volume is up past a certain point a screeching feedback loop is created which reaches ear-damaging frequencies. My uncle had it in this state for a minute or two & couldn’t tell he was hurting his hearing further. The product should be recalled for this, this is a safety hazard.So just don’t use it in the room listening mode, right? Nope, because the receiver now refuses to pair with the base at all. Some days it will work, some days it inexplicably won’t, NONE of the suggestions for resolving this work, the piece of junk just doesn’t work properly, And of course it’s now several weeks past the return window so there’s another hundred bucks down the drain.Stay way from all these garbage TV listening devices & just get a good pair of Bluetooth Headphones from Sony or another reputable company. It’s a shame Medicare doesn’t cover proper hearing aids & people on a budget are at the mercy of terrible crap like this. So fed up with these trash products from communist China.

My husband has more hearing loss in his left ear than in his right. We originally tried the HT4186 but the earbuds can't be adjusted for each side. At Avantree's excellent customer service's suggestion we tried the HT380. Each side is adjustable for volume. Works great!

I love my Avantree headphones. I mostly use mine at night in bed watching TV while my husband sleeps. The sound quality is great and I can lie on my side with my pillow and still be comfortable. I also have a set in my motor home. Again I can watch and not disturb anyone else. They are also so portable that I pack my set to take to hotels or going to family and friends houses that have TVs and don’t mind if I hook up my headphones. Most hotel TVs are easily connectable (might need a sm flashlight to see behind the TV). But there you go instant quiet, hubby sleeping and I’m enjoying a good movie. Now also you can add more than one headphone to the transmitter (which I have done) and you both can watch TV and not disturb your hotel neighbors or friends and family. (you can order extra headset receiversfrom Avantree.com) And thank you Jeany at Avantree for all your help.

After some major research, I decided to take a chance on ordering these earphones to help me in hearing my TV without disturbing the household. As a novice in tech, I wondered whether I would need help in setting up, but the instructions are clear, especially the drawings identifying the various parts. Included are several accessories which make it possible to hook up any model TV. The Bluetooth connection makes it possible for me to hear the TV even when I am out of the room. It is truly "plug and play." The sound quality is good. My only problem was changing the ear plugs to "small" (I have small ears) and it was not possible to fit the little covers to the end of the earpiece, so I went with the already installed "medium." They don't fit as well, but do stay in most of the time.

To adjust my hearing for left & right ears - I can put aside my hearing aids that don't always produce 'good' acceptable sound

Overall more then adequate. Poor dynamic range. Can be tinney.Shortly after purchase one head set lost most of sound from one side. Warranty replaced.

Fonctionne bien pour TV.Maintenant après 1 an j'ai besoin autres batteries. Sais pas si disponible séparément

Only static.. Worthless piece of equipment for the amount of money
