Avantree HT5009 Plus – [2025 Upgraded] Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Headphones for TV Watching with Transmitter & Charging Dock, Pass-Through Support, Clear Voice Mode for Seniors & Hard of Hearing

The Best for TV
I’m now on my second Avantree product for TV watching/listening. I’ve used their Audition Pro for many (many!) years and it has served me exceptionally well. But, since the headband is completely worn out and I’ve gone through a few sets of ear pads, I decided it was time for a replacement. Rather than try for another Audition Pro (I don’t think they even still make it) I opted for the HT5009 headset/transmitter package. Very easy to set up the transmitter (I’m using the optical connection with pass through to my sound bar), and the headphones pair quickly and reliably. The headset fits my head and ears as well as the old Audition Pro – very light and comfortable. Sound quality is excellent and I can set the equalization for voice or music listening with a toggle on the headset. The transmitter will support two headphones and will even pair with my old Audition Pro but it isn’t a good solution as the voice/video are not perfectly in sync with that old headset. I guess if you want to use two headphones with the transmitter then stick with the headphone model they recommend. One caveat, if you integrate your sound bar and TV via HDMI then the transmitter may not be the best choice as it has to connect via headphone cable or optical connection. And your TV must be set to use PCM output. This is OK for me but might not be for you. All in all, this is a really great solution for TV listening for long after your partner heads off to bed or if you have trouble hearing the dialog on some TV shows. I’ve not had to use Avantree tech support but there are all sorts of ways to contact them if needed and I feel they will be standing by for my call or email. Highly recommended.
UPDATE: I found out that, depending on your TV and sound bar, you can connect your TV to the sound bar via HDMI (allows the TV to turn on/off the sound bar, adjust volume, etc.) and still use the TV’s optical output to drive the Avantree headphone transmitter. Still have to set the sound output to PCM (and not Dolby, etc.) but the sound quality is still great on my sound bar. And, since the Avantree transmitter has an optical splitter built in, I now have an optical cable running from the Avantree transmitter to my old low latency bluetooth transmitter that connects to my old Avantree Audition Pro headset. Voila! Both new and old Avantree headsets now connect perfectly so I’m set up for two listeners at once. Even more recommended now.

Gets the job done
I am hearing impaired and have been looking for the best solution to watching TV through phones or buds that have no delay, can push the envelope on volume, and have excellent sound quality. These headphones basically deliver the basics of what’s promised: an instant, no-paring required set-up that couldn’t be easier, and low latency (no delay), which is key (I can’t watch anything where there’s even the slightest delay). The volume control has a limited range that’s probably fine for most people and is basically ok although I wish it could be pushed a bit more to better accommodate my hearing loss. Comfort is ok enough – I’m probably maybe more sensitive than many and find I need to remove them a bit more frequently than I would like but YVMV. As for sound quality, it’s fair at best. I’m not an audiophile, but if you have a true appreciation for good sound these phones are just kind of meh. Overall I’m just grateful to be able to watch TV with my wife where she has complete control of her volume coming through the set while I’m able to hear everything through the phones. With the quantum advances in technology over the years, I’m hoping one day to find a solution that checks all the boxes but for now these at least get the job done.

I bought these for hubby, Ordered last night, received this morning. My husband set up, within minutes, with no problems at all. He is not tec savvy and it was so easy! The sound from these headphones is amazing. You hear so much more wearing them. It’s like surround sound. I bought these from so many other headphones because of the reviews. I am so happy I did! The reviews are so wonderful and now I am leaving another 100% positive review. From start to finish this was an awesome buy! I can now read a book while hubby is listening to his TV 🙂 buy them see for yourself

Installé sur un ordinateur, très simple en quelques minutes, très bon son, voir par la suite la durée de la batterie et la portée.
Très satisfaite

Sonorité parfaite. Remplace un ancien casque de la même marque qui a vécu de longues années. J’ai dû le remplacer suite au changement de ma télé
Autonomie remarquable, agréable à porter et nombreuses connections possibles. J’ai pu appairer mon ancien casque comme 2eme casque. Parfait
