Purchases from Avantree.com gets 2-year warranty
  • ULTIMATE WIRELESS TV WATCHING SET - Avantree HT41866 contains a Bluetooth Class 1 transmitter, two pre-paired in-ear neckband headphones. The transmitter is equipped with an Optical, AUX, and RCA input cable, making it compatible with any smart or non-smart TV’s audio output jack.
  • SIMULTANEOUS AUDIO AND NO HASSLE SETUP - The set uses the Audikast Plus Bluetooth transmitter, supporting Dual Link technology. Dual Link allows both headphones to receive audio at the same time. Because the headphones are factory pre-paired, the setup is a snap. Once you power on the transmitter and headphones, they’ll connect right away.
  • APTX LOW LATENCY CERTIFIED - Incorporates Qualcomm aptX LL technology into the transmitter to deliver <40ms audio latency eliminating lip-sync delay. Enjoy your content with the audio and visual aligned.
  • INDIVIDUAL VOLUME CONTROL, LONG PLAYTIMES - The in-ear headphones allow each user to adjust its own volume independently. Individuals experiencing hearing can turn up their volume and not disturb their partner or friend watching TV. When fully charged, provide up to 20 hours of playtime, longer than most competitors in-ear models.
  • COMFORTABLE AND MULTIFUNCTIONAL - The Avantree HT41866’s in-ear headphones use soft earbuds, and an ergonomic neckband provides all-day comfort. Both the transmitter and headphones can be used with other devices. Use the headphones to hear your favorite podcast, music, or sporting event when connected to any Bluetooth-equipped device (mobile phone, laptop).

Compatible with 99% of TVs

The Avantree HT41866 uses the Audikast Plus wireless transmitter and includes Optical, AUX, and RCA input cables. It's compatible with any TV that has a working Audio Output jack. It is the perfect Bluetooth set for non-smart and smart TV brands and arguably better than the Bluetooth built into your TV. The Audikast Plus transmitter works with Vizio, Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Phillips, Hisense, and more.

Two Headphones, at the Same Time

The HT41866's Dual Link feature allows audio to be played through both pairs of wireless headphones simultaneously, with perfect audio. However, either headphone can function independently in case only one person is watching TV. Your partner or friend can join you at any time without any audio interruption for you. Simply have them press the neckband's power button when ready to watch, and the headphone will automatically connect.

Perfectly Synced, No Lip-sync Delay

Certified Qualcomm® aptX Low Latency, the Avantree HT41866 Audikast Plus transmitter provides <40 ms audio latency. Typical solutions in the market can have audio latency over 100MS or more which causes the notorious "Bluetooth audio lag" experience where the images on the TV and the audio are off. HT41866's low latency design guarantees perfectly synchronized visual & audio no matter what you're watching.

Personalized Audio Control

We all hear differently, and the volume level that works for you might not work for your friend or partner. The HT41866 set solves this issue by allowing you to adjust each in-ear headphone's volume independently, letting you avoid remote wrestling or clashes over the volume level. Those individuals experiencing hearing loss (approximately 450 million globally¹) can now increase their volume levels without affecting their partners' TV experience.

Headache-Free Pairing

Avantree's HT41866 dual neckband in-ear headphones and Bluetooth transmitter are factory pre-paired making the connection procedure painless.

The two in-ear headphones and the Audikast Plus Bluetooth transmitter that make up the Avantree HT41866 kit can be used independently. Operate the in-ear headphones as regular Bluetooth 5.0 headphones for your cell phone, tablet, laptop, or computer. While the Class 1 Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter can send audio through an external speaker (like a soundbar or AV receiver + speakers) of another brand.

Powerful, Lightweight, & Comfortable

The HT41866 in-ear headphones last up to 20 hours when 100% charged, more than enough for a full day of binge-watching. The lightweight and ergonomically designed neckband is complimented by the soft earbuds, delivering all-day comfort without the weight and pressure of over-the-ear headphones.

Top Questions

  • Can I have audio through my TV's Speakers AND Wireless Headphones at the Same Time?

    Hearing audio through the TV speaker AND the headphones at the same time

    If you'd like to get sound on both your TV speakers AND headphones at the same time, it DEPENDS on whether the TV is able to support getting sound out to two sources simultaneously. It is NOT related to the transmitter. The transmitter receieves the sound from your TV's output and streams it over to your Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

    However, if you connect the transmitter to your TV via OPTICAL port and you can see the following options under the SOUND OUTPUT settings on your TV...

    You can actually get sound simultaneously! Follow these steps:

    1. Go to SOUND OUTPUT and change this to OPTICAL / EXTERNAL SPEAKER
    2. Once there's sound going out into the headphones, go back to SOUND OUTPUT and change this back to TV SPEAKER

    If your TV doesn't support simultaneous output to both the TV speakers and headphones, here are some alternative methods you can consider:

    For Audio Transmitter Users:

    Solution 1: Connect the Transmitter to a TV box / AV Receiver instead

    If you have a TV box (DirecTV, Xfinity, Bluray Player, etc.), you should be able to find audio output ports on the back of them. Try to connect the Avantree transmitter directly here instead of the TV. This method essentially allows you to "go around" the TV's built-in speakers.

    Con: will not work on streaming apps if you have a Smart TV or streaming device

    For all users:

    Solution 2: For users with TV Sondbar / AV Receiver

    2.1 Use Transmitters with Passthrough Function

    If you have a Soundbar or Stereo Receiver, check your transmitter to see if it supports passthrough. If not, you can return your current product and consider purchasing one of these: Orbit, Oasis Plus, Opera, Medley 6018, HT5009, HT5006, Duet, or Quartet.

    Our industry leading "Passthrough" function allows you to put the transmitter/base between a TV and an external speaker and have audio come out from both devices AT THE SAME TIME.

    2.2 Use Audio splitter/extractor

    • For AUX Output - Use an audio splitter (e.g. Avantree TR302) to share the TV's audio between an EXTERNAL SPEAKER and the Transmitter. The splitter in this example is a 3.5mm audio splitter

    • For Optical AUDIO OUT - Use an optical splitter (e.g. J-Tech splitter) to share the TV's audio between an EXTERNAL SPEAKER and the Transmitter. The splitter in this example is an optical audio splitter.

    • For HDMI ARC OUT - Use an HDMI Audio Extractor (e.g. HAX05) to share the TV's audio between an EXTERNAL SPEAKER and the Transmitter. The splitter in this example is an ARC supported HDMI audio extractor.

  • Part 2. Connect / reconnect the BLACK / RED headphone to the transmitter

    HT41866 TV Headphone Set comes with two headphones, the BLACK headphone and RED headphone. 

     

    The BLACK headphone is the primary "1" headphone. It is paired & LOCKED with the transmitter.

    The RED headphone is the secondary "2" headphone. It is paired but not locked with the transmitter. 

    NOTE 2.1 Each time when you use them, the BLACK headphone normally reconnect to the transmitter automatically. But you do need to click the middle silver button on the RED headphone once to reconnect it. Details are as following:  

     

    1. Turn on BLACK headphones. 

    2. Turn on RED headphones.

    3. Turn on the transmitter (for 1st time use) or Turn OFF and BACK on the transmitter(for next time use).

    4. Wait 3-5s for it to auto-reconnect to the transmitter. IF the RED headphone NOT, you can:

    4.1. Wait for 3s and then quickly tap the middle silver button ONCE. You will hear a long beep, and the RED Headphone will announce 'Connected'.

    4.2. If RED headphone failed to reconnect, quickly tap "2" button on the transmitter once and WAIT 3-5 seconds. The RED Headphone will announce 'Connected'.

    NOTE 2.2 Both headphones now show SOLID BLUE, and are well connected to the transmitter. The Bluetooth sign next to "1" and "2" on the transmitter are also both SOLID BLUE.

     

    If this is not the case, please turn both devices off and turn them back on again and wait for 5-10 seconds.

    If this does not happen even you tried to turn them both off and on and waited for 5 seconds, you might need manually Re-pair, Connect, and Lock the headphone and transmitter base again. 

     

    The next step is Adjust the TV Audio Settings
