2019 Avantree TC417 aptX Low Latency Bluetooth Transmitter Receiver with Volume Control (Optical Digital Toslink, 3.5mm Aux, RCA), 20 Hrs Playtime, Wireless Audio Adapter for TV, Home Stereo

I just received this product next day delivery ( which was good ) . I made the mistake of pairing my Avantree AS90C headphones to a cheap Chinese designed blue tooth transmitter to attach primarily for my TV . It connected ok but the performance was poor . I am blown away by the change of connecting the phones to this TC417 . It is an unobtrusive 6cm square box. Maybe it would be nice to have screen confirming what is connected to it but really the LEDS confirm the connection . I can only think it's because this transmitter has the correct CODEC to optimise the headphones the sound is great now . Of course it is portable and I can also plug into other TVs and my desktop PC none of which support Blue Tooth . Just a matter of using a 3.5mm connectors supplied . Also cables are supplied to connect an amplifier for example to use the TC417 as a receiver too . I had one already but it can't harm . This allows you to connect an analogue amp and send blue tooth files say from your phone or MP3 player if these still exist . For £30 it is a great investment and I should have realised the cheap is as cheap does of the " Elegant " was a false saving . very minimalist but that's what I wanted . It is a more recent Blue Tooth edition 5 the headphones are 4 series but work fine as it is backwards compatible . series 5 headphones maybe even better . Hopefully the TC417 will last , the only thing I don't like is the mini USB connection for the charger . I would prefer a USB - C connection . this is not the end of the world but unusual in 2024 . Rather than charging on a computer you can use low amp phone charger . I happen to have a Samsung Tablet charger . It is not advised to charge it on the TV while connected to headphones as it will cause feedback and noise on the transmitter .

Good instruction on how to set up

Works well. I bought this to use wireless headphones on my tv as I need the volume louder than my wife does. My tv has red and white audio output sockets corresponding to the audio cable/plugs supplied with the unit.Side switches in AUX and TX for this mode.Red led goes out when charged.I had a problem setting up pairing until I realised that the whole of the top plate forms a 3-way push control, ie for pairing you press the word “pair” and not the bottom of the central button.When I had a problem pairing the headphones and the unit, I solved that by reference to Item 7 of instructors, ‘Clear pairing history’ and using ‘Pair’ button as above.I’ve watched tv and had noticed no problems with latency.My inexpensive wireless headphones have volume control buttons. I can have the tv at zero volume through its own speaker and I can set the volume I need in the headphones so only I hear the tv. In other words, the tv volume and headphone volume work independently.

This item is great. Can't believe a modern TV hasn't got Bluetooth as an option. This device solved my problem. It's easy to set up and works great with my Bluetooth headphones. No sound or latency problems. It's so small you can not see it amongst my other electronic equipment. Has a great range too. Would recommend seller and product.

Read the instructions, charged both the hub and the buds, plugged it in, pushed the button and it connected directly, reconnects without a problem should it drop out and the range is around forty feet in its current location. probably more if we chuck the fridge out that sits next to it.If you want simplicity then this gives you just that.Additional information. After several weeks now of using this product, its quirks are starting to reveal themselves. For a start it does not hold its charge for very long, will not charge via the USB connection and once discharged needs maybe five minutes to gain sufficient charge before it will connect and then hold that connection. We had to resort to using an old phone charger to keep it working. Otherwise, every else stands, once charged up it works really well, the range is fairly limited to maybe 20 feet at most though that could be down to where we have it placed and we have several makes of earbuds we have tried on it and they all connect and work perfectly well.

Easy to configure. Leave mine connected to charger at all times. very good value for money

A good little unit. The only fault, which is the same as with most of these type of units, there is a slight delay in the signal which produces a very slight out of sync sound. But this is minor. Apart from this it is a very good unit

I have a LG tv with no 3.5mm socket for wired headphones, so using an analog to digital converter through the optical out put jack with wired headphones....not very satisfactory. The TV doesn't work with Bluetooth headphones.......so tried this Receiver and must say it's very good...Loudness good enough and sound quality also good.......Happy...
