Avantree HT4186 Wireless Headphones Earbuds for TV Listening, Neckband Earphones Set w/Bluetooth Transmitter for OPTICAL Digital Audio, RCA, 3.5mm Aux Ported TVs, PLUG n PLAY, No Audio Delay

I am really pleased with this product. I must admit I wondered at first about buying a new TV with more inbuilt Bluetooth capability but the smart TV I have -albeit about 7 years old now - is otherwise perfectly fine. So instead, I bought this wireless transmitter and headphones. This allows me to keep the noise down when watching evening TV or for the rare occasion when Xbox makes an appearance.I simply located a 5A USB port on the back of my TV and connected to the Avantree transmitter unit with one of the supplied USB cables (which powers transmitter), switched on the transmitter and its Bluetooth indicator light started flashing blue. I then switched on headphones and they automatically linked to the transmitter.I then decided to use the supplied 3.5mm TRS aux audio cable from TV to transmitter for sending the sound; there are also optical and RCA leads included as other choices.That is it - all done and I have not looked back. Every time I now wish to use them I ensure they're charged (easily topped up with the other USB charging cable supplied), then switch on headphones and they link to transmitter within seconds. I then mute TV optical out which is currently sending sound to 5.1 home theatre by muting the home theatre itself. But this doesn't mute the auxiliary audio out jack on TV as that is a separate output so sound continues to come out through there and I can adjust sound using volume up and down on headphones themselves without even using a remote. Simple, fantastic idea. Money very well spent.

I bought these earphones as ,being elderly, I have problems hearing speech on some programmes and background music tends to obliterate the spoken dialog. These earphones are brilliant and solved the problem. The product is easy to set up and the earphones are very comfortable. Also, no matter what volume is set on the TV, for others who may be watching, I can control my own volume on the earphones. So nice to walk about the house and still hear the TV. The sound is so clear and I don't miss out on what is being said. Wonderful!

The headphones arrived on time and my son-in-law set them up for me which was relatively easy. You can listen to the TV through these at the volume you wish while others can listen at their desired volume. I am happy with my purchase.

My wife has become more deaf over the years to the point where sharing the experience of watching a film or TV series was impossible. Indeed the volume level on out latest smart TV did not increase to a level that my wife could hear. She either needed Spinal Tap's amplifiers or this headset and transmitter.Easy to set up and suddenly she hears instantly on her headset at the same time as I on the TV set speakers. And we have not blown the windows out. 2 year warranty after registration meant that after 15 months, when the headset would not turn on they were replaced without question by Avantree. Customer service from this company (Rie, take a bow) is second to none. I think I emailed California. I'm sure that's pretty far but problem sorted in 24 hours. UK companies look and learn.

I have had the 4186 combination of 418 transmitter and NB16 headphones for about 16 months. They have been excellent up to 3 weeks ago. The ability to hear my TV separate from the speakers is first class with 'virtually' on time lag - with one ear piece in use and the TV also on, there is no 'lag effect'.However, recently the head phones stopped working properly. They would not charge up or power on. I entered a request for help from Avantree, which has been very worthwhile. After following their information and suggestions I tried various methods, none of which worked. Finally I got a message to say 'your replacement headphones are on the way'! This was a very welcome outcome.They arrived yesterday but I had problems pairing with the transmitter. I opened a 'chat' discussion with Jeany. We tried various methods, none of which worked. Finally she said she would ring me to discuss (from USA to UK!). This she did, and found the transmitter was locked to another device. After getting me to re-set everything, success. It now all works well. Amazing response from Avantree, excellent service, and good quality sound. Would recommend product and company unreservedly.
