Avantree DG80 - Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter for PS5 & Gaming Consoles with Low Latency & aptX-Adaptive, Wireless Audio Transmitter for Headphones & Earbuds

This device is awesome. Just plug it in and it works.Pairing with two Bluetooth headsets was perfect the first time and very fast. When I initially plugged it in to my Chromebook it immediately went into pairing mode, so I setup the 1st headset. It took about 10 seconds to find it and pair it. I pressed the button for 5 seconds and again it went into pairing mode and the 2nd headset was ready to go. Fired up a video and BAM! Crystal clear audio out of both headsets with no noticeable delay.I took off the headsets and suddenly the sound stopped. What?? My headsets have the feature when directly connected via Bluetooth to my phone or laptop that when I take the headsets off whatever I'm watching or listening to pauses. When I put them back on they resume. I put the headset back on and BAM! the show started playing again. Wow, features I didn't think would be supported are on this adapter. Cool!Ok, so before purchasing the adapter, I asked if this adapter was supported by the Amazon Fire Cube. Of course, someone who probably doesn't even own one of these adapters said NO, it won't work. Well I'm here to tell you that he is misinformed and completely wrong.First I plugged it into my original Fire Cube as it natively has a USB A port and instantly my headsets came to life with audio.Next I dug out my Micro USB to USB adapter and popped it into my Kindle Fire. Again, instant audio.Fire Cube (1st & 2nd Edition) - Yup!Even my Fire Stick with a special adapter.Apparently Amazon really has their stuff together. It sees this as a generic audio device and starts outputting on it immediately. YES IT DOES TURN OFF AUDIO COMING THROUGH HDMI just like it does if you pair a Bluetooth device directly to the Fire device. The only difference here is that I can have 2 headsets connected to this adapter while all of the Fire devices, my phone, and laptop will only allow one headset to be connected at a time.It works, it's reliable, it's super easy to setup. Just buy it!FYI, I did't give a star rating to Tech Support because I had no need to contact Tech Support (so there!)

My laptop, (a Lenovo e15 gen 2,) has poor Bluetooth performance with my Sony XM3s on Linux. This dongle offloads the entire Bluetooth stack to the dongle itself and works flawlessly with my Linux system. Before this dongle, Bluetooth would cut out every few minutes. This dongle rarely if ever drops a connection allowing me to use my Bluetooth headphones for hours without fussing with them. I can also go several rooms over in my house, and the dongle doesn't drop the connection.The dongle is small enough that I can keep it plugged into my laptop all the time without it getting in the way. It also allows me to easily switch to phone mode and have video calls using my Bluetooth headset's microphone. There is a noticeable drop in audio quality when I do this, but that is normal for all Bluetooth devices including my phone.I've noticed that every time I reboot my computer, the dongle switched back into phone mode and I have to double press the button and then double press it again to switch the dongle to audio mode. It would be nice if it remembered this setting.Note that, from the perspective of my computer, this dongle is a USB soundcard not a Bluetooth device. All Bluetooth settings are handled by the dongle itself, and my computer has no visibility into the inner-workings of the Bluetooth stack on the dongle. Make sure this is what you want before buying it. It's perfect for my use-case, but it might not be for yours.I'm so grateful for this product. It allows me to use the OS where I'm most productive without having to give up the convenience of wireless headphones. I highly recommend it.

I use this with my PS5.I bought this early January 2025 and it worked great right away, connected quick, great sound quality, easy to use. And unlike other bluetooth connectors that used usb c, it actually worked with my ps5. (I plugged it into the front USB port not the back to stop heat damage). It worked great for around a month and a half, but then I started hearing popping feedback sounds after playing for more than an hour. The solution to this was to unplug and plug back in the adapter. This works for a while, but then I'd have to repeat 30/40 minutes later. It's been getting worse and worse in this regard.Still a quality product, it delivers on what it promises, (and also definitely works on PS5) but don't count on it to last you very long.
