J’ai un peu hsit pour le branchement mais en fait c’est assez facile.
The sound in these headphones is incredible! This company’s customer service is outstanding. A live person answered the phone on my first call. After that I received extremely prompt emails. My question was resolved immediately with efficiency and professionalism. I highly recommend this product and company.
After my mom passed away this year I moved into her bed room. My inside wall buts up to next unit. I could hear their tv and I know they could hear mine. I bought this unit to try and it is awesome. Head set real light and main unit very compact. I give this product a strong 10 and 5 stars
.
Not complicated at all, once the simple installation instructions are followed, you know the headphones are working. Just press the center button next to the battery USB charging cable while having at least one of the ear plugins to heard “TURNED ON”, and no waiting for “PAIRING”, or anything…you are on and quickly discarding all other private listening gadgets. Congratulations!
Was a little hard to figure out connecting but got it done
Headphones are great, but the volume control buttons are hard to find
I really like them .It took a while to figure out how to hook them up . The main thing is
Settings , from there you need to follow directions. And make sure your headset it turned on and volume up.
Can’t hook up in conjuction with a sound bar. Not a big deal
Like that they were easy to set up, instructions for use very clear. Provides ease of movement around your house and still allow you to listen to TV without having the volume too loud for others. Much better than wearing headphones, which can cause my ears to hurt and headphones give me headaches due to weight on my head.
Ottima la qualit del suono .
Collegando il dispositivo tramite cavo ottico , (in dotazione con altri cavi , per collegamenti diversi ) possibile ascoltare TV contemporaneamente da TV e da auricolari , e questo a mio avviso molto importante.
Venditore professionale.
Lo consiglio.
Works great. Sound quality great. Battery life so far so good. Volume control is a little hard to adjust because the control it self is a little small. Otherwise I like this product!
Easy setup. Good sound quality. Comfortable to wear. No latency problems.
You wouldn’t be sorry.
Cumple perfectamente su funcin. Puedes elegir un volumen para la tv y otro para los auriculares de forma simultnea. Sencillo de instala
Facilissime da installare, possibile decidere quale tipo di connessione utilizzare, rendendolo di fatto compatibile con tutti i modelli di televisore, anche quelli pi datati. Inizialmente ho utilizzato la porta Digital audio ma i canali Mediaset, per qualche oscuro motivo che dovr approfondire, non riuscivo ad utilizzare l’audio digitale quindi ho cambiato connessione e tutti i canali funzionano perfettamente senza il minimo disturbo o ritardo audio. Il prezzo per sovrastima eccessivamente il reale valore del prodotto..
Usato da una persona novantenne con l’83% di sirdit, non riusciva ad ascoltare la tv anche ad alto volume, con queste cuffie abbiamo risolto il problema, sente bene e le tiene tutto il giorno, ottima durata di carica.
Per sentire la TV sono ottime, la batteria dura parecchio,facilissime da installare, un po difficoltoso alzare e abbassare il volume, nel complesso le consiglio
Facilissimo da installare, anche se occorre seguire il tutorial su youtube, funziona benissimo ed estremamente utile specie se si vuol vedere la tv o fare sport guardando la tv senza disturbare gli altri. Rapporto qualit/prezzo davvero ottimo. Consigliatissimo!
surda …. afinal so funciona um lado…
no inicio tambem… mas depois comeou a funcionar os dois lados… passado 3 dias so um !!
praticamente le uniche cuffie wireless economiche per uscita ottica. consigliato
la batteria auricolari dura poco ,non le 20 ore come scritto
Die Ton Qualitt knnte besser sein,ist nicht zufriedenstellend.
Schn verpackt. Ausfhrliche Anleitung mit einfache Bilder.
Verbindlichkeit Top,auch keine Verzgerung der Stimme.
Fr Musik hren werde ich unbedingt nicht weiter empfehlen. Im Allgemeinen ist aber ein Guter Kopfhrerset. Danke
Utilizzate su una tv la sera fanno egregiamente il loro dovere. Comodo il fatto di averle agganciato intorno al collo, qualit audio buona
Sound quality is pretty good but could use a bit more high frequency amplitude, although my hearing does suffer in that area – too many rock concerts. I’m glad they supplied the different sized cones since the small and the medium kept falling out of my ears. Those cones are quite difficult to change. Even with the large cones they’re not that secure, but putting the U shaped band behind your neck helps in that regard. Battery life seems quite good and the connection after power on is very fast unlike others I’ve used.
I recently bought a Samsung TV which I thought had Bluetooth and neither did it have a headphone jack. I had another Bluetooth headset which was big and bulky and wouldn’t connect without a headphone jack.
This little beauty was simple. Plug the optic cable into your TV and the small unit, pair the device by holding the pair button for 3 seconds and bingo.
The headset is light, sounds fine and sits comfortably in the ear.
Love it!
I am slightly deaf and have tried a number of ways of hearing the television clearly. These are, without doubt, the best I have had. They are comfortable and the sound from them is excellent and of sufficient volume. I can also arrange for the tv internal speaker to be on at the same time as the headphones so that someone else can watch the same programme. So far I am delighted with them and hope that they continue to produce excellent results.
I loved that the transmitter and earbuds paired automatically. It took just minutes to set it up. The earbuds are so comfortable that I forgot I had them in and almost wore them to bed! The range is so good, that when I walked away from the TV into another room, I could still hear the TV perfectly. This is a great buy, I’m so happy I returned the TV Ears that I had purchased, and ordered these ones. No regrets.
This product has allowed me to hear the TV without disturbing the neighbours. Worth every penny. Xx
I am very pleased with this second Avantree HT4186 Wireless Headphones with ear buds. The only drawback for me is there is no separate volume control for each ear, as I am 40% deaf in one ear and mostly good in the other. We also ordered the earbuds to try but they don’t fit into the ear canal, only flush with the outer ear, which makes it hard for me to hear low dialog in movies. The battery life is very good no interruption in my TV watching, and it only takes 1.5 to 2.5 hrs. for a complete charge depending on usage.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and do recommend them for great TV watching especially when the Mrs. is on the telephone, I can mute the TV so she can hear while I’m listening to the program (Sports).
L’appairage t effectu en quelques secondes.
Le son est parfait pour regarder la TV (sans tre exigeant sur la qualit).
On comprend bien mieux les paroles qu’avec les haut-parleurs mdiocres de ces TV modernes.
La recharge se fait par USB (avec un adaptateur de mobile par exemple) en 3h.
Casque lger et confortable.
Seul le prix semble un peu lev pour une technologie matrise (pas d’innovations) et par rapport d’autres appareils lectroniques plus complexes et plus volumineux (hauts parleurs autonomes, mobiles pas chers …).
Comfortable light weight great sound this is my second purchace
They work. Connection seems ok. A little high pitched. Also a slight lag if you turn the sound up on the tv.
Which means you can’t have the sound on the tv because of the echo.
My dad uses them in his bedroom at night. He is fine with them the rest of the house can sleep at night now!
i bought these for my partner and she is over the moon with them. she said they are the best headphones she has ever had the sound is good and is easy to set up 10 out of 10.
Fantastic, we can now listen to the telly at different volumes. So good I bought a second pair.
Le SAV est bon… si vous savez l’anglais car aucun change crit ou oral n’est fait dans une autre langue donc je vends en France mais je ne vais pas me casser la tte traduire ! J’ai utilis les traducteurs en ligne mais je trouve que c’est un manque de respect du consommateur, assez bon pour acheter mais pas suffisamment respect pour lui faciliter la vie.
Deuxime reproche, le second appareil a pris 10 en un an et l je voulais faire un cadeau et il a encore pris 10 en un an. 20 sur deux ans. Si seulement nos salaires suivaient le mme rythme, je retournerais travailler. Les calculs d’augmentation ne semblent pas correspondre l’augmentation du cot des matires mais plus une politique systmatique qui consiste dire “Le client apprcie le produit donc on peut y aller”.
Ne voulant pas rester sur un chec et sachant trs bien que je serais due de pas lui avoir trouv le bon appareil, il a reprit toute l’installation depuis le dbut et essay plusieurs rglages TV / dcodeur satellite / couteur du casque, volumes divers et diffrents sur chaque appareil et FINALEMENT , il a russit trouver SON propre bon rglage. Un pre fier d’avoir russit malgr son age et pas trs au fait des nouvelles technologies.
Je suggre donc au fabricant de fournir une notice dans la langue de l’acheteur et de dtailler au maximum les diffrentes configurations d’installation qui seraient utiles aux utilisateurs.
These are the best high quality entry level TV headphones my wife has tried. They have never lasted longer than 15 to 18 months max. The wiring to the earbuds is too fine, so it won’t be long before one of them fails. Fortunately they come with a two year warranty. And every year we have replaced them the price has gone up considerably. But still better value than the best of the best.
They are nice and light and easy to wear, unlike the ear muff type of headphones. You can put the lead around your neck and just get up easily to get something. Superior quality
This is a first-day review. I would usually wait, but I am so pleased with the easy setup that I am making an exception. I will update if there are down-the-road surprises. This package is nicely designed and clearly Avantree doesn’t want you to fail due to lack of cables. Every angle is covered.
Charging the headset isn’t mentioned until later in the start-up instructions, but it seemed prudent to start with a charged headset so I charged it. As noted elsewhere, it comes with a charging cable, but you must provide some source of USB power to plug in to. Watching the short start-up video will inspire confidence, but it duplicates the printed instructions that come with the device. Everything these days claims to be easy, but this actually is!
I have an older TV that had RCA audio output jacks and I discovered a never-used optical connector. The TV had no audio-output “settings” other than for speakers. I thought I would use the RCA connectors, as I was sure they wouldn’t affect the TV speakers (some headphone jacks switch the speakers off when plugged in). I ended up using the optical cable as it seemed less likely to be vulnerable to electrical noise/interference. The optical connection worked perfectly, so that’s where I am. I hoped that the TV volume control wouldn’t affect the headphone volume, and it didn’t.
Set-up was a snap and went exactly according to simple instructions. It literally took no more than a couple of minutes (after charging the headphones).
The sound is clean and clear. A little light on bass but fine. No signal strength issues across a large family room. It is a gift for my wife, but really for me. She likes to stay up late watching TV, and now it won’t bother me.
UPDATE: After 5 months of frequent use, one side of the headphones went dead. I contacted Avantree Support and they promptly sent replacement headphones which resolved the issue. Communications with Avantree and their response time was excellent.
I have become hard of hearing over the past few years. Hearing aids did not improve the TV sound quality and I became frustrated by missing the dialogue. So I purchased this product with the transmitter and connected it to the TV optical output. I was amazed. The sound quality is excellent and I realised just how much I had been missing. I had a slight problem with intermittent charging on supplied item but Avantree customer service is excellent. They replaced the unit without charge. Highly recommended product.
Received the headphones a short while ago and cannot fault them really.
The set up took me about 5 minutes, since MY TV was already set up to link to head phones and when I switched on the base and then the headphones linked straight away without any problems.
At 73 i really like simple as opposed to complicated and the sound volume is really loud and easy to adjust, which I appreciate, since I’m getting a bit deaf.
The earbuds are comfortable and you have a choice of 3 different sizes and unlike most headphones that cover your ears and get warm these do not, so are cool to wear for longer periods of time.
Happy days,
DC
Very easy to set up, and excellent sound through the headphones. If you want to use an optical socket for your soundbar etc you will need an optical splitter. Thoroughly recommend, and their support is very quick to respond should you need any help or advice
Super quick delivery, ordered late afternoon and they arrived next day at 11am. Instructions steer you to video for set up which was great and easy to follow, took about 5 minutes to set up. Headset comfortable and light with volume controls. Would recommend
I’m in my mid seventies and my hearing’s getting poor, these headphones have meant I can enjoy music and films again in stereo!!!!! brilliant.
I had already sent one TV headset back to the supplier unable to connect as advertised.
This Avantree unit connected automatically to its headset the moment it was switched on. There are a choice of connectors to suit most applications to the TV, I would have thought. My normal TV sound box and surround sound unit still work should I require them for other people all at the same time.
It ticks all of the right boxes for me should I wish to watch TV and not disturb others.
The one small tiny improvement that would have been advantageous would be to make the control buttons hanging down from the right ear, more tactile friendly. There are 3 buttons, plus and minus volume controls and the on/off button. They are almost imperceptible from each other but you get used to them.
Take care to rotate the ‘wings’ at the ear plugs round to suit your ears. It took me a while to get the ear pods right.
Finally be aware where the charging point is, hence my close-up pic here. The cover fits so well it is almost invisible.
Purchased for parents as father struggles to hear the tv and mother complains volume is too loud. Ordered this to resolve the problem, it arrived the next day and so simple to set up. It has worked so well I’ve just ordered another set for my in-laws too!
