Avantree Aria 90C - Add-On Headphones for Opera TV Set - NOT Compatible with Opera Plus, No Charging Dock Included

Avantree Aria 90C (purchase 2/20/2023; reviewed on 4/12/2023)Avantree Aria 90C (update 5/15/2024)My wife uses the Avantree Aria 90C daily; it may be one of the best gifts I have ever given her. She loves it; she has some hearing loss, and with the Aria 90C, she does dishes, or cooks while listening to her TV shows or podcasts, and she is a happy lady. Note: The Aria 90C is paired with the Avantree Oasis Plus Bluetooth transmitter and receiver for TV, so both are working great. Avantree Aria 90C (purchase 2/20/2023; reviewed on 4/12/2023)This purchase was for the Avantree Aria 90c single headphone only and did not include the charging docking station.The Aria 90c is paired with a Avantree Oasis Plus Bluetooth transmitter & receiver for TV https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQYYDNJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 purchased Nov, 2018The purchase was for my wife, her hearing has been deteriorating, and as a result, the TV volume has been turned up very loudly. We have tried several ear buds, and inexpensive corded headphones, but she didn't like them. The Aria 90c passed the "happy wife" test. She loves the look, the feel, the sound quality, and the ease with which they connect with the Oasis TX/RX unit. Previous headphones I had to ask her to use, which most of the time she wouldn't. The Aria 90s I don't have to ask she uses them because they do what a good TV Bluetooth headphone should do. She listens to TV news now while cooking; the TV is viewable but in the family room, so the receiving distance is good. When sitting on the couch with about 3 feet between us, I can talk but she can't hear me while listening to TV, so external noise isolation is good. (Note the Aria 90c does not have "noise cancellation"; instead, the material/pad that seals the headphone on or over your ear provides isolation, and the Aria 90c have a comfortable thickness and seal tightness for proper sound isolation.) lVoice / Lip sync is usually good with the aptX HD technology. However, since we cut the cord from cable TV and now view all movies and TV shows via streaming services, there are times the voice-lip sync might be off slightly. The weight and shape are not heavy or bulky, and the streamlined appearance looks good and sort of modern.I mentioned connecting to the Avantree Oasis TX/RX unit already, all she does is make sure her Aria 90c are turned off, switch on the Oasis box, then turn on the Aria 90c headphones, and they connect immediately. I listen with ear buds, and the Oasis can handle two Bluetooth listening devices.The battery charge has been good, she plugs the charging cable in before bed.I would recommend the Aria 90c Bluetooth Headphones. The price is low for what you get.A word about Avantree customer service. I called with a question, and the time and help I received was great. It's nice to buy a product that you can call and get help when you need it.*I paid for the Aria 90c with my own money at full price.

Works as advertised.

Comfortable fit with very little lag time. I bought the second headphone set. It does not connect to Bluetooth on a consistent basis. This is not a big problem and is easy to sync. The sound is good but the only negative is that it doesn't have good adjustments for the hearing impaired. There are only 3 options and even in the voice setting there is too much bass. It would be nice if there was an actual adjustment where a person could adjust the highs and lows to meet their needs. They claim they are for the hard of hearing and most people with hearing loss it is in the high range that they need a boost. I also have a Bluetooth adapter that directly connects to my hearing aids with much better results. I have yet to find a Bluetooth set of headphones that has a good set of adjustments. As far as Bluetooth headphones goes I would recommend this set. It is better than most on the market at this price and lag time with the picture is very good.

I bought the 2nd headset because sometimes family members are over and we can listen and watch a TV show without disturbing others. This one, for some reason, broke where the earpiece is. I returned it and the Avantree people were very helpful in the process. The support person told me what I had to do to return it and receive a replacement; I can't say enough good things about the support person. The 2nd headset is working fine. The sound is fantastic and I like that I can either tune it to "verbal" sounds or music. There is actually a difference in the sound. I would certainly recommend this headset.

The headset WITH BASE works great for my elderly hard of hearing mother. The headset runs 30+ hours of use time. She can not find the recharge base :( So I bought the 2nd headphone set thinking I could charge one set while she wore the other. That is NOT the case. So , I returned it !! Can't even find a charge only solution for this headset?? The base+headphone product is 5 star tho....

I was expecting similar quality as my previous headphones Avantree Aria Podio, but these are worse. Not as easy to link, and not as good when multiple connections. Hardware quality is lower too. The sound is as good.
