Avantree Oasis Plus 2 - Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter for TV with Remote Volume Control, aptX-Adaptive, and Soundbar Passthrough, Compatible with Optical or AUX ported TVs

Needed something so I could link my DFS Cine sofa to my Samsung TV without the awful loss of sound that Samsung imposes on non Samsung products. This did the trick, it’s easy to setup and links to the sofa via Bluetooth whilst still connected via optical cable to my original surround sound system. I’ve got to turn the sound down on the original surround sound otherwise I get an echo effect. It also incorporates a boost switch that makes the sound go even louder. Bit pricey for what it is but worth the money.

I'm amazed at how well this transmitter has worked to solve the problem of inadequate bluetooth range from my TV. I have run a cable from the optical out port of my Samsung S95D to the optical in port of the transmitter, and a second cable from the optical out port of the transmitter to the optical in port of my Samsung soundbar. This has given me a rock solid bluetooth connection at much longer range to a pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, and preserved my ability to use the soundbar in tandem with the TV speakers for Samsung Q-Symphony sound at the same time. Considering I bought this unit at a Black Friday reduced price it has proved to be an absolute bargain.

It seems to do its basic job of streaming radio & CD signals to another room; but I have no technical understanding of what else it might, or might not, do.Neil Cheshire.

Good value. Easy to set up and use between my LGTV and Soundbar. Unobtrusive with a reliable and consistent connection, great sound quality and virtually no lag.

Whilst this may be a good unit *if* you can get it to connect but don't expect useful help from customer support if you can't. They do not appear to read the details of the problem explained in emails. Returned for refund and cheaper 5.3 unit bought

Excellent bit of kit - purchased to power up my 40 year old JVC Hi-fi into the Bluetooth age. I needed an additional RCA/Aux lead so contacted the folks at Avantree who popped one in the post for me. As I wired things up I was a bit sceptical that it would work but as I popped in the Aux lead and started a CD unbelievable sounds came into my headphones. If that wasn’t enough to blow me away I then tried an LP on the turntable - incredible, even better sound quality, all with the freedom to walk around my house, cable free. A big thanks to Janice at Avantree for great help and customer support.

The sound quality when hooked up to my Onkyo CD player (via aux and optical) was atrocious. Lots of clipping and distortion and crackling even at low volumes. Totally unsuitable for high quality music in spite of connecting to my Bluetooth DAC using aptX-LL. Worse using optical, but still very bad via aux.Buyers should be aware you cannot change the codec. If you connecting device supports low latency that is all you can use, which will be what most will want for TV and movies. It was OK connected to the TV in my limited testing. Sounded clearer than my CD player. I know the device is at fault as my CD player sounds crystal clear hooked up to a unbranded portable Bluetooth transmitter.I don't know if this player struggles with "line-level" input. I also think maybe the device is acting as a crude pre-amp and attenuator which is also adding distortion. I just wanted a clean pass through of stereo to my headphones.I was hoping to be able to hook up my TV via aux and CD player via optical, but as soon as you plug something into the aux input that take priority. There is also no way of switching inputs. I do believe older models allowed this.Really disappointed and back to the drawing board for an alternative.Not much good to say and this is my second Avantree device that hasn't lived up to the hype on the product page.

Good delivery timing easy to follow instructions
