Review on Wireless Earbuds for TV - Avantree HT380 by Christin Williams

Revainrating 1 out of 5

CHINESE SCRAP like ALL collar hearing aids. These can also DAMAGE YOUR HEARING FURTHER

I've been through 3 different brands of these horrible hearing aids for my elderly uncle. While this design is better than the other "Stalk" designs, this Avantree might be the worst as there is no external microphone volume safety feature. If the volume rises above a certain point, a screeching feedback loop is created that reaches ear-damaging frequencies. My uncle had it in that condition for a minute or two and couldn't tell he was further hurting his hearing. The product should therefore be recalled, this is a safety risk. So just don't use it in room listening mode, right? No, because the receiver now refuses to pair with the base at all. Some days it will work, some days inexplicably it won't, NONE of the suggestions for solving this work, the piece of junk just doesn't work properly, And of course the return window is now several weeks gone so there's another hundred bucks down the drain . Stay away from all those junk TV hearing aids and just get a good pair of Bluetooth headphones from Sony or some other reputable company. It's a shame Medicare doesn't cover adequate hearing aids and people on a budget are at the mercy of terrible crap like this. So fed up with these junk products from communist China.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Concerns me
