Avantree HT5009 Plus review

The HT5009 Plus replaces the discontinued HT5009 and is Avantree's Bluetooth route to TV listening. The included transmitter uses aptX Adaptive for low latency and connects by optical or 3.5 mm AUX; Avantree says these routes work better than pairing to a smart TV's own Bluetooth, which can lag. A Clear Voice mode improves dialogue, and the headset has its own volume control. Battery life is the standout: the spec sheet lists a 50-hour average, and the headphones charge on a wireless dock or by USB-C. At 206 g they are among the lighter over-ear options. The weak points are range, at 30 ft, and a limit of two receivers per transmitter, so this suits a single viewer or a couple close to the screen. Avantree is also direct that this is a TV headphone, not a device for hearing aid level amplification. It costs $139.99.
