I've had this headphone and transmitter bundle for a couple of weeks now so I can review them having used them.I recently upgraded my TV to Sony Bravia 55" but with these newer models little thought is given to audio out or the fact that wall mounted flat screens do not have the luxery of just inserting a jack plug or phono lead once on the wall..... I wanted to have the benefit of being able to listen with headphones (noisy neighbours) keep all the leads in place and not effect the normal sound output by doing so.I orginally considered the transmitter box alone and buy some headphones but upon advice from Avantree who thought there may be issues with lag I went all in for their complete bundle, pricey, an unknown brand and my first tryout with an optic cable..... yes I had concerns!once delivered and unboxed it was fool proof, insert cables where needed and turn on.the headphones connected straight away with the transmitter and I had sound.My main use has been for the world Cup recently and the quality of the sound is quite remarkable, the range is amazing picking up a huge variety of sound, so good I felt IN the STADIUM .. ball kicks were like I was sat next to it, crowds are really clear as are the in stadium announcers BUT this does not mask the commentators either, the range is superb nothing too high end nor too bass loaded! The headphones are extremely comfortable even for a man with a 62cm head!!! Most headphones I wear become like a vice for large headed people like me, squeezing after a while needing removing BUT Avantree headphones are super light and fit very very well for long periods. The ear cups are just right to sit on the ear not smother the whole ear. My only wish would be for these to have a bass and treble control.Volume setting it can seem a little muddy but thats always the case when there are no tone controls whatever headphones you have and they'd be little use for music when bass and treble are absolute requirements. Even develop an app that can control the tone like my Turtle Beach Stealth 700's for gaming, it really makes all the difference.The transmitter box is a simple unit that does require power from a USB source but rather than plug it in to my TV I use a normal 3 pin USB charger plug that most phones use nowadays so I plug direct in to an extension for all my power, obvioulsy you can plug the USB directly in to the TV but if you dont have enough or any at all the 3 pin option is a superb saver if ports are limited.Overall I'm really happy with my Avantree bundle, never heard of the brand before but I'm glad I tried the product and I'm more happy it works very well for my needs. The support team are great too, happy to answer questions and assist when needed, with 2yr guarantee in the box I hope to be using these for many years to come, I will upgrade IF Avantree add bass and treble controls but otherwise it was money very well spent for me. Best of all is there is absolutely no visible or audible lag from anything I've watched, its picture and sound perfect comletely in time.13/07/18 - UPDATE .... these headphones just amaze me everytime I use them! I regularly watch JRE podcasts on youtube and its mindblowing just how much sound these deliver... their range is absolutely remarkable, to the point where every tap on the table, bump on the mic, turn of a page is so clear its like sitting next to Joe Rogan himself!!!! I've never ever had such clarity from any headphones and I use a variety across gaming smartphone etc this Avantree bundle is simply superb!!

My husband is practically deaf and I'm not a fan of a loud TV so we have been arguing over the TV volume for 15 years. I can honestly say these are one of the best purchases I've ever made and we can now watch the tv at our own choice of volumes with the husband happily wearing the headphones. He loves them - the quality is amazing, they are lightweight and comfortable and so easy to use with the volume easily accessible on one of the ear pieces. He also says they have the added benefit of enabling him to completely ignore me without any reprisals!I don't know much about TV technology and did quite a bit of research prior to buying these and came to the conclusion that the TV sound on my 1 year Samsung TV would probably disconnect when the earphones were plugged in via an optical cable as Samsung didn't support the tv sound + optical option together like LG and other brands do. I therefore bought an optical splitter and planned to use our soundbar alongside the earphones, not knowing if that would work or not either. However I didn't need to worry or use the splitter. The headphones connected to the TV instantly using the optical cable supplied and didn't affect the TV volume at all - it works exactly the same as always whether the headphones are plugged in or not. Just for clarity, the digital output audio on my tv is set to 'PCM' and the output setting to 'tv speakers'. These headphones couldn't have been easier to set up and use.I cant comment on the long term reliability of these but at present I couldn't recommend more highly.

I recently bought a samsung telly that was supposed to be bluetooth enabled, unfortunately, this turned out not to be the case.I repeatedly tried to get a pair of Sony headphones to work, nothing worked, not a peep. After trying a few other gizmos and some odd cable attachments, I almost gave up and was about to even return the telly, when I read reviews of the Avantree headphones and transmitter. As soon as I set it up, much to my surprise, it worked. I didn't have to do anything except plug it in. Yes, the sound is not as good as my wired Sennheisers on my other telly, but there is sound, so, in my book. it's all good. Tvs don't appear to be made with headphone jacks anymore, so, if like me, you like to watch telly late at night, when everyone is in bed, this seems to be the only way to go. Well made, good kit, highly recommended.
