Review on 🎧 Avantree HT5009: High Volume Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headphones for TV Watching with Long Range and No Audio Delay by Jeff Ross

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Uncomfortable with audio delay and closed back?

(Return) They looked great, sounded great (a bit low but you can crank them up), good signal, easy to set up. I had these headphones for an hour before packing them up again. The first thing I noticed when putting them on was how uncomfortable they were for me. They fit my head well and I have a big head. But my ears were rubbing on the inside of the headphones, they were much smaller than I expected. The padding was too small and there wasn't enough room inside for my ears, which was a big issue for me, but I didn't want to ruin the headphones because they sounded great. The sound wasn't bad at all and I could almost walk to my mailbox before they started clipping in and out. I now stream my gameplay online using a really good XLR mic and audio interface. I connected the auxiliary cable to my audio mixer, then to the transmitter, connected the USB to the computer for power, and then plugged in the headphones (btw I read that I don't need to pair them). Listening to music and watching people chat on Youtube looked fine, but there was still very little lag, probably 100ms or less. Less than 1/10 second. But that's enough. When I turned on the zero-latency direct monitor mic on the audio mixer to hear my voice, it was late, it sounded like an echo. Hearing myself twice, like someone was knocking me out of sync, was unbearable. It's the setting I use ALL THE WAY with my mic, and I've even come to the conclusion that I just won't use it anymore. I was just checking my metering program to see how loud I sound instead of hearing myself. Since the lag wasn't severe enough to see a difference in the video, I was willing to try without it. At this point, I'm actually quite annoyed at how uncomfortable they are on my ears, and I'm just trying to appreciate that my new headphones are wireless, so I ignore it. I'm playing music and hearing good quality sound while talking to my Discord friend, and while I'm listening to music and not talking, I look around and see my microphone picking up the sound. I stop the music and ask my friend if he can hear my music (through my headphones) and he says he can. I take off my headphones and hold the speakers close to me as if they're on my head and it's SURE they RADIATE the sound from the outside as well. I listen to music like it's just a speaker playing music. As I said before, I stream my gameplay online and I can't put the audio back into the mic so my viewers can hear it twice. An audio issue like this is a surefire way to lose viewers. From the moment I heard the music playing loud in the headphones I immediately packed them up and sent them back. I'll update this in a few weeks when I get a full refund so you all know how it's going. Return Policy Revain will refund my money within 7 days of receiving the Amazon item. Maybe the technology just isn't there yet to have 0 latency with good quality. Stage headphones for musicians have 0 latency, but I've heard they sound bad and cost anywhere from $300-$700 to install. UPDATE: I received a FULL refund just a few days after sending the item back in the mail, which Revain paid for the freight. This does not differentiate the product from what I have previously described, just to say that their return system πŸ’―
