Avantree Audikast Plus – Bluetooth Audio Transmitter for TVs with Optical & AUX, Supports 2 Headphones, aptX-Adaptive Low Latency, Built-in Volume Control, 100ft Range

This unit will work with a set of Bose Bluetooth headphones. They work perfectly, in fact! I originally bought this unit very concerned that it would not work with my mother’s Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have Bluetooth on her television. The headphones worked great on a fire cube, but I decided to go back to cable. I wasn’t sure if this would also work with my TIVO box, but because the television is wall-mounted, I thought it would be easier, as it was obvious, I would have an easier time plugging up the wires. I noticed that my TIVO box has two USB out ports, so I plugged the included USB power cord right into one of these, and the unit powered up perfectly. I then plugged up the optical cable into the back of the TIVO box as well. Because I was using an HDMI cable for both picture and sound, I didn’t need to use the TIVO optical port, it was just not being used. It was a perfect opportunity to use the included optical cable, that came with the unit. I was so pleased because all this meant that now I did not have to go behind the TV at all. The first thing that I did was to hold down the power button on my mother’s Bose headphones, in order to clear all previous pairings. I wanted to make sure there were no conflicts, besides I was only going to use these headphones with this device. Now everything was going perfectly, except for the paring of the Bose headphones. Others have complained that Bose headphones will not pear at all with this device, however, patience is the key here. I too had some difficulty and was convinced that the Bose headphones would not properly pair with the device. I was only more patient because I was used to paring the Bose headphones with my mother’s Amazon Fire Cube. It used to give me trouble when attempting to pair the Cube and the Bose headphones together. Sometimes, I would have to try several times to get them to work together. I had to wait and wait for them to finally connect. Sometimes I started over and even restarted the Cube box again to make them both work together. However, my efforts always paid off, for once they pared, they worked wonderfully. This experience taught me to be patient, and to not be too impatient when trying to pare my Bose headphones to this Avantree unit. It took a long time, and I almost gave up, when suddenly my Bose headphones informed me that a connection had been made. I was so very pleased. Now I know I can use the unit on my television as well as my TIVO BOLT. Perfect, not only that, but I can also watch TV while my 93-year-old mother continues to listen to her headphones. Because the television is connected to the TIVO BOX with an HDMI cable, the sound is being sent to both the headphones through the optical cable, and the television speakers through the HDMI cable. So, if my mom wants to watch television alone, all she has to do is turn down the volume on her television and listen quietly on her BOSE headphones with the Avantree unit. If I come into the room and want to watch Television with her, all she has to do is turn up the regular volume on her Television, so I can listen too. This was so easy to install, I was very surprised at how easy it was to get it going, all I needed was a little patience. Our house is once again quiet, for this is a great little unit. In conclusion, this unit will work with Bose Bluetooth, just be patient. This will work with TIVO, but I only mentioned TIVO in case you also have a TIVO box as I do. This is an advantage, but you don’t need a TIVO box at all to make this work, I am sure it will work perfectly on your television at home.

I love this product so much that I bought a 2nd and will soon by a 3rd. Simple to use. It just works. Once paired, if you turn it on it immediately connects. Range is impressive too. stays connected when rooms away. I bought this because my hearing is bad and need to use headphones or my hearing aid via bluetooth. One of my TVs doesnt have bluetooth and this solved that problem. I have it connected to the optical audio out of my TV. This allowed my wife to listen to the TV normally while I listen through my headphones or hearing aid (Phonak hearing aid connects via bluetooth). We also each can control our own volume independently! Sound quality is great. I have a 2nd TV that does have bluetooth but its a pain to get my hearing aid to connect. Really frustrating. So I bought a 2nd one and dont need to fight my TV anymore. I have 2 more TVs and there's likely 2 more in my future. When I got my 2nd one, I was having trouble connecting it to my hearing aid. I called the support number and got connected to someone without a wait. She was awesome and very professional. She got me connected immediately. Its one thing to make a great product and quite another to provide great support! Highly recommend this product.

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.

Ho atteso qualche settimana, prima di scrivere questa recensione, perché desideravo testare per benino il prodotto in oggetto. Quindi passiamo alle mie valutazioni e impressioni. Partiamo con Il dire che il trasmettitore è molto compatto pertanto poco ingombrante. E' fornito con vari tipi di cavi audio oltre che di un cavo usb che serve, tra l'altro, anche per alimentarlo. Ha un tasto per l'accensione e lo spegnimento quando non in uso. Per configurarlo ho seguito pedissequamente quanto riportato nel manuale di configurazione allegato. Come da loro suggerito, ho collegato l'apparecchio al mio tv Sony tramite cavo ottico. Una volta impostato il sottomenù "suono" del mio tv come da manuale, il dispositivo risultava perfettamente configurato e pronto per l'accoppiamento con le cuffie bluetooth. Le cuffie da me utilizzate con questo apparecchio, sono una coppia di Sound Blaster JAM V2 (sempre acquistate su Amazon) dotate di Bluetooth 5.0 e di codec audio avanzati, aptX™ HD e aptX™ Low Latency. Anche in questo caso (seguendo la manualistica a corredo del trasmettitore e delle cuffie) l’operazione di riconoscimento e di accoppiamento delle due cuffie con il trasmettitore è stato abbastanza semplice. Una delle caratteristiche di queste cuffie, oltre ad aver la già citata gestione del codec Low Latency (fondamentale per seguire l’audio con il TV) è la possibilità di regolare direttamente l’audio in cuffia facendo diventare superfluo l’uso del telecomando del TV. Tornando al trasmettitore, posso affermare che le cuffie, una volta accoppiate, restano memorizzate con i rispettivi canali anche se dovessimo spegne sia il trasmettitore che le cuffie. Il trasmettitore inoltre, alla successiva accensione si imposterà automaticamente sempre sul canale LL (Low Latency). Per quanto riguarda la latenza, con le mie cuffie Sound Blaster JAM V2, non ho notato nessun ritardo nel labiale ne alcun tipo ti interferenza tra le cuffie e il trasmettitore segno questo, che il sistema così configurato lavora davvero alla grande. Ultima nota l’audio e buono ovviamente, non aspettatevi effetti Dolby Atmos, Digital o similari. Il sistema non è nato per questo. Per concludere, posso affermare di essere estremamente soddisfatto di questo apparecchio perché soddisfa molte delle mie necessità come dimensioni ridotte, utilizzo di entrambi i canali audio in simultanea, assenza di ritardo e/o interferenza con le cuffie ed infine, la possibilità di tenerlo spento quando non in uso. Cosa dire di più se non ottimo acquisto da consigliare.

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

Funkar utmärkt men rekommenderar att läsa och söka info gällande vad eller vilken modell som sändaren skall användas till. Topp

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. ;-)

Amazing! Connected to my Bluetooth speaker automatically. The sound is great.
