Avantree Audikast 3 – Bluetooth TV Transmitter for 2 Headphones | aptX Adaptive, Volume Control and 100ft Long Range; Works with Optical or AUX TVs, Not Compatible with HDMI-Only TVs.

This is a great little Bluetooth transmitter!! It has low latency, handles two Bluetooth devices at once, and has a handy volume boost control. Sound quality is superb. When powered via USB from my TV, it turns on with the TV, in the pairing mode! Pairing my headphones is a snap! Works every time within seconds. I highly recommend this product. All of this is true for me. It pairs with my headphones in seconds! Much easier to use than the built in Bluetooth on my LG TV!

I use this to watch TV with my hearing aids. It pairs easily. You have to be sure to disconnect blue tooth from you phone. I had a MEE brand transmitter. This one has a better range and gets the audio going right away.

Just bought a new couch that has a media center. Didn't want to get a 30 ft long cord to snake around stuff from the TV to the couch with the subwoofers. So got this little guy to work with the Bluetooth. Works great with the couch fantastic auto pairs immediately no sink issues audio quality is good I tried the optical but turned out to be a hassle as I've never really played with optical that much and so I guess my TV defaults to a high volume on optical I need have to use the buttons on the transmitter to lower and raise it so I use the other attachment which thankfully it has to just use the aux port so I can still use my remote to control the volume and it's just as good. I love the fact that what I want to pair my phone to the couch or anything else to the couch All I got to do is hold the button to the couch and it just automatically pairs back up with the transmitter I don't have to hold the transmitter button at the same time It just automatically re pairs.

No instruction manual. Confusing Label on product blocking display. Awful tech support that on phone requires ZENdesk registration. Why should I want to have to enter credentials , just to access an instruction manual that should have been included with my payment for the product?!?!?!?!?! Their online chat is NOT active, and after providing name and email, THEN you are told to wait for reply! NO! That is not how customers should be treated. The actual tech support is useless.. It fails to reply to questions already asked, and what is most unusual for tech support - the emailed replies, offer no reference or thread to previous questions or communications, making any follow up unavoidably stressful and difficult ! What is worse, is that their tech support replies, repeatedly ignored, my comments. They finally insisted that their responses must have landed in spam. Well, I checked, and they did not! So tech support could not even communicate effectively about their communication failure! Auracast is an emerging technology that soon will be wildly popular. So manufacturers are rushing to claim compatibility. It is expected to be widespread in most public places allowing visitors to hear, via their ear pods, or hearing aids, what is muted for those otherwise, not interested. It will clarify sound for hearing impaired hearing aid users, and can offer multiple sound tracks, selected by the listener. In homes it can, and this should be active and possible right now, for multiple listeners whether it be in headphones, ear pods, or hearing aids, to the same source - a tv, computer, or other streaming source. I was not able to connect anything to this. Not able to find instructions that actually worked. Amazon Tech Support, at multiple levels, was not able to help. Avantree's website instructions were useless. ALL BAD. I gave this one star, but really it is just a big ZERO to be returned!

Item was smaller than I expected. Was very easy to set up using the intructions (e-manual). Works very well and no issues with lag. Sound quality was good (for bluetooth). Tested with a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones. Note that sound quality will also dependent other factors like the music source , bluetooth version and codec supported by your headphones. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the Bluetooth signal appears to interfere quite badly with the 2.4Ghz wifi band. My TV kept dropping its wifi connection and connection speed also suffered. This may not be an issue if your tv's wifi supports higher frequencies (e.g. 5Ghz) I placed it a bit further from the tv, but the supplied optical cable is a bit short. If you encounter similar issues, may be worth considering getting a longer optical cable to have the unit further from the tv. I also turn the device off when I'm not using it.

Finally, I found a Bluetooth transmitter that actually works well. I have tried at least three others, and they either have audio dropouts or out-of-sync issues. This one works PERFECTLY - and sets up easily and simply. Took 2 mins to set up from connecting to my optical port - now I can use my Bose headphones at my level and my wife and listen at her lower level (TV Soundbar) - we are both now happy! Excellent product.

The transmitter works very well, with excellent sound quality and acceptable range and signal strength. Avantree support was very helpful when I had an installation problem that was related to the TV settings – – not to the transmitter, although since then I think they may have eliminated technical support by phone. There is no problem with TV lip sync latency when using Toslink, although oddly there is some latency with the audio output from my home theater system. I solveD this by turning down the volume emitting from my home theater/receiver speakers when using headphones. I had been using expensive Bluetooth Hearing Aids to counteract mid range losses in typical TV shows. That is, without the hearing aids, I lost one word in every five. But Hearing Aids are not designed to reproduce treble or bass, so they provided me with a very flat sound. Using this transmitter with a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones, I don’t need the hearing aids, and I get far better hi-fi stereo sound that is noticeable even with just TV shows— not listening to music. Ditch your Hearing Aids and use this transmitter. I recommended this item to a friend.

Works GREAT when it works. Set up & initial pairing was a breeze. I was getting rid of satellite & their box allowed 2 headsets to be paired. TV only allowed one which meant the streaming service only allowed one. This could have been the ideal solution and it does work, just not as well as I'd hoped. Wife & I have two different brand/type headsets and each of us have a couple of each (one of ours invariably dies half way through a program we're watching). One of my headsets works immediately when I turn it on other one has to be manually "found" by this box probably 80% of the time. Same with hers. OK, I can deal with that. Not ideal but I can deal with it. The real problem is that somehow in the box often when she turns her headset on, it kills the sound from mine. AND here headset says it is paired but she has no sound. There follows a round or two of turning everything off (including the box) turning things back on and maybe it will work and maybe not. Try again. Stand on my head & rub my belly counterclockwise sometimes helps (just kidding but sometimes it feels like that might be the only thing I haven't tried). I connected via the optical cable & the "no latency" seems to be true. I gave it three stars because of the hassle & not knowing if it is going to work and what it will take to get it going if it doesn't. And maybe if I could, I'd give it 3 1/2 as it allowed me to ditch the satellite.

llevo 1 mes con el dispositivo, y muy contento. FINALMENTE SE PUEDEN CONECTAR 2 AURICOLARES A LA VEZ, UNA ALEGRIA ! Se instalò en un momento, y de momento no ha dado ningun tipo de fallo. Es mas, es la primera vez que los cascos tienen un alcanze mas lejos de siempre... PERFECTO

本機をパソコンの3.5ジャックに繋ぎ、bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbudsをペアリングして壁厚３００ミリの隣の部屋に移動しても接続が不安定になったり、音が途切れたりすることはありませんでした。 また、音ズレは全く気になるレベルではありませんでした。

Bei einem vergleichbaren, etwas günstigeren, ebenfalls namhaften Kokurrenzprodukt gab es mit meinen Kopfhörern alle paar Minuten Verbindungsabbrüche. Ein Firmeware-Upgrade wurde dort nicht angeboten. Anders hier. Eine mittels QR-Code am Produkt erreichbare, sehr gute Online-Anleitung (auch als PDF erhältlich) führte sehr einfach u. a. in deutscher Sprache Schrtt für Schritt durch die Inbetriebnahme und gab gleich zu Beginn den dringenden Hinweis auf die sinnvolle und unkomplizierte Installation (Windows + MacOS) eines möglichen Fimeware-Upgrades. Nach dessen Installation funktionierte alles wunderbar. Problemloses Pairing und keine Verbindungsabbrüche über Stunden bis zur Erschöpfung der Akkus in den Kopfhörern. So soll es sein. Die Kabel sind gut brauchbar - solider als beim Konkurrenzprodukt. Achtung: Das Gerät hat keinen Akku, benötigt also eine USB-Buchse zur Stromversorgung. Ich hatte das vorher gewusst und mich bewusst dafür entschieden, weil ich Wegwerfprodukte mit fest verbautem (nicht austauschbarem) Akku verabscheue. (Die Akkus in Handy und Kopfhörern von Fairphone kann ich nachkaufen und selbst austauschen.) Ladebuchsen sollte es in jedem Haushalt ausreichend geben, und bei Bedarf tut es auch eine Powerbank. ;-)

Work awesome, great product, good price.

Działa jak powinien, dźwięk super jakości na coxial złączu, nie zrywa, nie zauważyłem opóźnienia w stosunku do wyświetlanego obrazu. W końcu mogę wieczorem oglądać filmy na odpowiedniej głośności, nie przeszkadzając przy tym innym domownikom. Dla starszych TV bez BT rewelacja.
