The Ensemble Pro is built around the problem this list is about: dialogue that is hard to follow at a normal TV volume. Avantree pairs a Clear Voice mode that emphasizes speech with a Volume Boost that lifts output to up to 110 dB through the included transmitter. The controls are orange so they are easy to find, and each headset has its own volume, so the TV can stay at a level the rest of the room likes. Avantree rates the battery at up to 35 hours and the range at up to 328 ft, with 58 ms of latency through the transmitter. The headphones can also stay linked to a phone, so a call does not get missed during a show. The main limit is connection: the transmitter takes optical or 3.5 mm AUX, and an HDMI ARC only TV needs the separately sold HAX06. The $99.99 price was a sale against a $199.99 regular price when we checked.
