Avantree Duet - Dual Wireless Headphones for TV Watching, Clear Voice & Loud Volume for Seniors and The Hard of Hearing, Easy Plug & Play Setup, with 2.4GHz RF Transmitter & Charging Dock

Being a night owl means that pretty much anything you do is going to create noise that disturbs others. Watching a movie is no fun when you have to ride the volume control in order to keep booms from booming--but you'd still like to know what the actors are saying without having to resort to using subtitles. If you're a musician, good luck pounding out those riffs at three in the morning without hearing the wrong type of audience feedback. If you're a music lover, others might not enjoy the fact that you turned your home into a concert hall in order to hear your favorite jam in the next room. (As a side note to apartment dwellers: that surround-sound-subwoofered experience you insist upon? Your neighbors absolutely despise you for it--no matter what time of day it is. Trust me on this.) If you're one of those old-fashioned types who still believes that being considerate toward others is a good idea, these headphones are for you. If your hearing isn't quite what it used to be and cranking the volume just so you can hear much of anything is a way of life, these headphones are for you. If watching television with others means you fight over how loud it is, these headphones are for you. Here's why they're great. For one, the charging base is about as big as your average headphone stand, and it looks nice to boot. You can keep them where they're easy to get to and they won't clutter up your entertainment system. They'll look like they belong there, not like they were just kind of shoved there. Unlike some other charging bases I could mention, there's no fighting with your headphones to make sure they're making proper contact so they'll recharge: you just hang them up and watch for the little red light to turn on. That's it. You can also hook more than one type of device to the base. On mine, I have my television plugged into the optical input, and my guitar multi-effects pedal plugged into the standard stereo jack input. A switch on the back of the base lets me change which device I'd like to use, and when I'm finished I can switch it back again. There's no noticeable audio lag either way, so it works flawlessly. When you consider all the audio devices one can use which have nothing to do with turning on a television, it opens a lot of options. There's an audio passthrough on the base as well. For television usage, what this means is you run your television's audio into the base, then connect your regular sound system to the passthrough. Doing this means you can use your headphones at the same time as others enjoy your soundbar or surround system. If you tend to need (or enjoy) louder volume than your viewing partners do, this ends a lot of fights. If all you want are the headphones, simply keep your regular sound system turned off--you'll still hear everything just fine through the headphones. If you want just your regular sound system, simply leave the headphones turned off. It's not all-or-nothing. While this unit comes with two headphones, you can purchase additional headphones and pair them to the same base. You'll need to use the USB connection on each additional headphone to recharge them (there's only room on the base for two), but it's still a handy way of bringing peace to the rest of the house when there's a slumber party or some other group watching party going on. The thing is, these headphones give you options you wouldn't have had otherwise. The headphones themselves are very comfortable and do a good job at muffling outside noise. You'll likely still hear the important things like a smoke alarm or a knock at the door, but you'll be able to focus on the audio while reducing outside distractions. These headphones have a pronounced bass that can be toned down by engaging the dialogue switch on each unit, which accentuates the vocals while diminishing the sound effects. Volume controls are easy to find, as well. Each ear cup is marked with an "L" or an "R," so you'll know which ear goes to which cup. Once on, it's easy to forget you're wearing them. And since they're wireless, you can get up and refresh your drink or listen to music while cooking dinner--all without fighting cords. These have very good range, so wander around all you want! The comfort and ease of use means you're actually going to use these, even if technology normally tends to frustrate you. Plus they solve so many problems while offering so much flexibility, it's hard to imagine anyone who couldn't use a setup like this. They'd certainly make a good gift, and you'll be able to personally vouch for how amazing they are. Highly recommended!

If you are a little hard of hearing and don't use hearing aids, these headphones are for you! I bought these for the family so that we can enjoy shows together. My teen has sensitive hearing and needs the volume low, and as a result me and my spouse couldn't really hear the dialogue. NOW we can, especially with the "clear audio" setting, which dampens some of the background noise to make the voices clearer. The headphones are comfortable to wear and have a good range within the house. They are also easy to set up, though I did need an adapter since I only had one optical outlet. Nevertheless, they work great. This last part is important... make sure you have the correct connections to your TV to ensure they work. The only thing I cannot address is durability, as I've only had them for a few months. But so far, so good.

I purchased the Avantree Duet headphones in January 2023 for my elderly parents (75+ years old). They love them! My father’s hearing is poor, so these have helped him hear the tv better and keep my mother sane! It’s also allowed my father to sleep sounder, since my mother can watch her shows without waking him. PROS: They are very comfortable. Not heavy on the head. Ears don’t get hot and sweaty. Sound is great! Set up is easy (for me, I’m in my 40s though). DRAWBACKS: The tower charging station is a bit challenging for my parents. The headset units need to be aligned just right to charge properly. The headset controls are a bit small for my parents. The buttons are a bit difficult for them to use and see, but it’s manageable. HOWEVER, these issues seemed to have been rectified with the Avantree Quartet headsets. The volume controls are bigger and more accessible. Charging unit is not a tower but a cradle. CUSTOMER SERVICE is OUTSTANDING! I only know about the Quartet unit because in late January 2024 one of my original duet units stopped working. After going through the online troubleshooting guide (which is easily accessible via Avantree website and on Amazon) I determined the battery would no longer charge. I contacted Avantree customer service and received a response almost immediately. A wonderful lady named Janice helped me and I had a new unit within 10 days, no questions asked and no expense for me. Not even shipping charges! That is amazing. The process was pretty straightforward. Janice was very responsive to my questions, concerns and was with me every step of the way. Even with a follow up email confirming that my new unit was working properly. I would definitely recommend these headphones. I would lean towards the Quartet units though, as I think they better meet my particular needs. Thanks Avantree!

This was the easiest hook up to our tv ever! Headphones were shipped with all wiring. the controls are easy to use and have many choices to adjust to your hearing. Like the clear voice option. the ear cushions are soft, and I wear them about 8 hrs a day while working around the house with no loss of power, either. Very good stable stand to rest them and the slots to charge are super to lock headset in to charge. They do cut out a bit when I am doing yard work, but that is my only complaint, and really, they work up to 50 feet outside. I would buy them again.

Had to replace our older Sennheiser dual headphones that my wife and I watch TV together with for the last 6 years that on quite working. The best difference is with Avantree Duet we don't have to find the power button after taking them off the charging tree. They automatically are on and the sound is great and the volume button is much easier to find. They rehang on charging tree easier as well. Reception distance is almost double our old headphone and we can go to the bathroom, up-downstairs and even in the garage without missing a word. These get little interference when our microwave is running compared to our old set. Great purchase!

Très bon ensemble de casque sans fil. Le son est bon et l'utilisation simple.

The base station was easy to connect to our smart tv, the equipment is well made and the headphones cut out outside noise and produce good quality sound.

The range is much better than any bluetooth headset that I have and also than Sennheiser RS-175 , audio is okay, but not as good as the Sennheiser RS-175. I chose the dual type even though I'm the only user, that way I can switch headphones when they run out of power. Charging is fast and takes just a few hours. I have used it for a month now, looks like a quality product, I give 4 stars only because the audio quality is not super.

Muy buen producto, cómodo y sin configuraciones complejas. Cumple lo que promete, se conecta a la tv sin que la tv entre en modo auriculares con la conexión óptica (viene con 1 cable óptico en la caja) lo cual permite tener 1 volumen distinto en cada auricular y no queda muteada la tv. Además la base de carga sirve para conectar a través de cable óptico a otros dispositivos (DVDs o similares)(se necesitaría otro cable óptico que no se proporciona, pero se tiene la posibilidad) , lo que lo convierte tambien en un switch de audio con la base como intermediario. Éste punto es importante porque he visto en otros comentarios que no funcionan y probablemente se haya conectado la entrada de la tv a la salida óptica de la base, y así no funcionaría. El sonido es impecable, la única falla sería el tiempo de uso (también tengo que decir al respecto que los he utilizado con el volúmen cercano al máximo) pero aún así han sido 6 horas contínuas de uso. Perfecto si tienes gente con pérdidas de audición en casa. En definitiva, muy recomendado.

Ho comprato queste cuffie perché ero stufo di usare cuffie bluetooth collegate alla TV, sia direttamente che tramite vari ricevitori. Si scollegavano spesso, o a volte non si connettevano, e la portata era veramente scarsa. Ero alla ricerca di qualcosa che funzionasse con un trasmettitore proprio, non Bluetooth, e che avesse una calzata comoda in testa. Bypassando il primo scoglio del prezzo, ho deciso di acquistare queste Avantree Duet e sono veramente soddisfatto! La confezione include semplicemente: - Due cuffie - Lo stand di ricarica che funge sia da porta-cuffie, che da base di ricarica, che da trasmettitore di segnale - Cavo USB per alimentare la base - Cavi audio di ogni genere per collegare la base alla tv (ottico-ottico, jack-jack, jack-RCA) L'installazione è stata molto semplice, basta collegare la base ad una porta USB della TV per alimentarla, o ad un qualsiasi trasformatore da telefono con una porta USB-A classica. Poi si collega il trasmettitore alla TV per ricevere l'audio utilizzando il cavo che meglio si adatta alla propria TV. Io ho utilizzato quello ottico per avere la massima qualità del segnale. Dopodiché si posiziona lo slider posteriore su MIC, AUX o OPT a seconda della corrispettiva porta in cui abbiamo appena collegato il cavo audio proveniente dalla TV. Infine basta spostare lo slider sul davanti su ON e accendere le cuffie. Già fatto, segnale istantaneo, qualità fenomenale, nessuno scricchiolio, rumore di fondo, interruzione o latenza. Cose interessanti: - La base funziona anche da bypass del segnale audio, nel senso che se vogliamo l'audio che esce dalla TV può arrivare alla base delle cuffie e poi proseguire fino ad un impianto stereo ad esempio. Questo è particolarmente utile se vogliamo collegare sia le cuffie che un impianto stereo esterno (sound bar, casse varie) alla TV. - Dietro alla base c'è un tasto VOL BOOST che permette di aumentare il volume di uscita oltre al massimo normale delle cuffie. Devo dire che non sono mai riuscito ad indossarle a volume massimo perché sono veramente potenti, però magari per una persona anziana che ha proprio bisogno di sfondarsi quel che resta dei timpani per sentirci qualcosa, il volume boost può sicuramente tornare utile - Le cuffie funzionano sia in Mono che Stereo (consiglio vivamente di tenerle sempre in stereo) e funzionano sia in modalità "Bilanciata" che in modalità "Voci nitide". Per passare da una modalità all'altra basta premere il tasto "Balanced" o "Clear Voice" che sta su ciascuna cuffia e devo dire che sono veramente utili entrambe! In modalità bilanciata l'audio è chiaro, pulito, con bassi presenti ma bilanciati. Adatto sia alle musiche più concitate di film d'azione che a dialoghi. La modalità voci nitide invece smorza un pochino i bassi e da veramente una bella enfasi alla foce. Perfetto per ascoltare molti dialoghi, interviste, telegiornale e simili in maniera molto più nitida. Autonomia eccellente, mio padre le usa tutte le sere per almeno 4 ore, a volte ci si addormenta e si scorda pure di lasciarle in carica e non si è mai trovato con le cuffie scariche. Comodità fantastica, i cuscinetti delle cuffie sono morbidissimi e anche se sono in finta pelle anziché tessuto si riescono ad indossare per ore senza sentire caldo alle tempie. Non stringono per niente e sono molto leggere. Si regolano bene su varie misure della testa. Che dire, le ho pagate tanto (219.99€ a Dicembre 2022) ma sono veramente impeccabili. L'unico mini-difetto che posso trovare è che la ricarica prevede di appoggiare i contatti della cuffia sulla base e spesso non è facilissimo trovare l'allineamento giusto. Quando si collega una cuffia correttamente cambia il colore del LED sulla base, quindi sappiamo di averla messa bene, ma se c'è già una cuffia appoggiata questa cosa non si può fare per la seconda e bisogna un attimo prestare attenzione ad allineare bene i contatti (forse scomodo per una persona anziana? Magari serve solo un po' più di pratica). Comunque la ricarica così a contatto è molto comoda perché evita di avere fili ovunque. Ed in ogni caso le cuffie hanno una porta USB-C per una ricarica diretta all'occorrenza, quindi top. Le consiglio vivamente. Prezzo oggettivamente alto, ma rapporto QUALITA/prezzo indiscutibile. Sembrano un prodotto che può durare tranquillamente 8-10 anni e soprattutto nel rispetto dell'ambiente perché sono ricaricabili e non a pile come tantissime simili che si trovano ancora sul mercato!
