Review: Easy set up and works with digital only outputs! - I bought Bluetooth headphones for my step-dad for Christmas so he could use with their new Visio TV but found out that the TV won't output sound from the TV speakers if connected to Bluetooth headphones. This defeats the purpose of the headphones as mom wants to hear through the TV and he needs the TV so loud everyone else is uncomfortable with the volume (yes, he needs and has hearing aids, just rarely wears them). So I ran to Walmart and picked up a Monster brand BT transmitter to plug into the Optical port on the TV. Got that hooked up only to get an earful of static sound through the headphones. Turns out the Monster brand transmitter could only use PCM output which of course, the TV will only output Dolby Digital. So jumped on desertcart and found this one which claimed to accept Dolby Digital signals. Crossed my fingers and waited for delivery day. It arrived promptly and well packaged with everything needed. Instructions were easy to follow and I had it hooked up in a flash. Had to do a bit of fumbling around to figure out how to get the BT headphones to pair (on the headphone side) but once paired, crystal clear audio streamed right through! I added a second set of headphones and was able to watch as well. I didn't notice much latency either. There were a couple points where I thought the audio was a bit off, but it really was barely noticeable. This little device allows the TV speakers to still output sound at a comfortable level (or can mute it as well if no one else wants to watch) and he can hear beautifully through his headphones. Our living room isn't huge so certainly stays connected whenever in the living room but when I tried it out, I walked into the kitchen (about 30 ft away with a couple of walls in between) and it still held connection so seems to have a really good range! Only suggestion is to have the buttons be backlit. It's really dark where I have this positioned and so when I need to access the buttons, I have to grab a flashlight to see. The display is lit and visible, but not the buttons. So - set it up where there's access to light and you'll be fine. There are a lot of options for using this that I've not tapped into - like using it as a Bluetooth receiver or a bypass - but we really haven't needed those other features. It does everything we need and so very easy for my non-techy parents! Now that everything is connected, he just has to power on his headphones and they connect right away! He's a happy camper and so is my mom!
Review: A must have for BT headsets used in a home theater - I own a pair of Nuheara IQbuds2 MAX to help with mild hearing loss. I am quite happy with them, but not so much the IQstream TV bluetooth transmitter that I bought with them. The main issue with it is that the buds require a 2 channel PCM digital stream to function, which is not unusual for headphones, but the IQstream then requires that the entire home theater audio system be set to 2 channel PCM because it cannot generate a 2 channel PCM stream from dolby digital or dts multichannel sources. This really degrades the enjoyment by others if I need to listen in with the IQbuds. Not to mention the number of menus I have to go thru to change a source from surround to 2 channel PCM and back. Enter the Orbit. For me the greatest feature is the Orbits ability to translate dolby digital and dts to PCM for the headphones which permits the rest of the home theater to operate as intended. I am not sure if there are any other units that do this. Once I figured out how to make the IQbuds2 MAX go into pairing mode so the Orbit could detect it, everything went flawlessly and simply. The connection is solid with no dropouts, the sound is great as one should expect, and the Orbits volume control is an absolute necessity since the IQbuds2 MAX set volume control is a software feature within its Android/IOS app and that is only available when the buds are bluetoothed to the phone (and two BT connections to the IQbuds at the same time is not possible). I am not using the digital optical (TOSLINK) passthru feature of the Orbit as I take a digital output from my home theater sound processor to feed the orbit, that seems like a very useful feature if one's setup involves just a TV and soundbar. The Orbit supports the volume up/down functions I have programmed into my Nuhera IQbuds, which I did not expect. Nice touch. While the Orbit price is higher than most of the other BT generic transmitters on the market, it is cheaper than the one offered thru Nuheara and with the unique features such as surround sound compatibility it seems in line with other premium products in this space.

## Features

- [See Your Connections] The Avantree Orbit Bluetooth transmitter is the only transmitter on the market that comes with an LCD screen display. No more “blind pairing”; you’ll be able to identify & select which Bluetooth device you are pairing with, the CODEC used, and control the volume on your connected devices.
- [Wide Compatibility] Thanks to Orbit’s Digital OPT, 3.5mm and RCA input cables, it's compatible with every TV on the market. What really sets it apart is the automatic 5.1CH audio conversion; upon receiving 5.1CH audio, the Orbit automatically converts it to 2.0, instantly making it transmittable via Bluetooth, no need to make changes on TV.
- [aptX Low Latency Compatible] The Avantree Orbit is aptX Low Latency certified. When (and ONLY WHEN) used with a Bluetooth headphone / speaker that also supports aptX Low Latency or FastStream, it will deliver the ultimate “no lip sync delay” experience, ensuring perfectly synced visual and audio no matter what you watch.
- [Works with Soundbar/AVR] The “Pass-Through” feature of Orbit transmitter guarantees simultaneous audio output through the headphones (that are connected to Orbit) AND your external TV speaker such as Sound Bar or Stereo AVR, so that other household members can still hear the TV while you’re using the headphones.
- [Two Headphones, Together] The Orbit features a “dual-link” function that allows two Bluetooth headphones / speakers to be connected at the same time; audio will play through both devices simultaneously. Enjoy a late-night movie session with a partner, at your own volumes, without awaking others in your household.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My tv is connecting to a soundbar via hdmi arc. can i still use the headphone?**
A: If your TV HDMI ARC port is occupied, most likely your optical audio out will not work. In this case, you cannot use the optical port. You will need to use our HAX05 - the HDMI ARC audio extractor so it can get the audio signal from the HDMI ARC port. In the mean time, your soundbar will also work at the same time. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N8YLY2W
Hope this helps.

**Q: My samsung tv has fixed optical audio output so the tv volume control does not work for bt headphones via this port, does this device solve that?**
A: I have connected the unit to my TV via optical output and the volume buttons in the unit don't work to control the volume on the connected bluetooth device

**Q: Can i use this by adding bluetooth audio output to blue yeti microphone? i just hate wires and i need to use a single device for both audio i/o.**
A: Orbit doesn't support talk mode:(

**Q: Will this also support the mic on my headset when plugging this device into a laptop aux w/ mic support?**
A: The Orbit is single direction - it take the TV out via optical and puts out the audio via Bluetooth headsets and concurrently to a soundbar via optical or audio aux input(s). So I'm not sure what your connection will look like since it is not likely that you'll be able to output your laptop to the Orbit unless it has an optical out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You won't be disappointed
*by V***5 on April 12, 2023*

I really dig Avantree stuff tbh. I've been using their Oasis transmitter since 2017 and I also have their Audition headphones, which I use occasionally. I watch about 99.9% of tv using my headphones so their Oasis and this Orbit are must-haves for me. Here's what I love about them. A lot of their stuff is priced great. Their customer service is top-notch. I've contacted them probably about 7x. They also replaced a pair of my Audition headphones that broke without even asking them too. This product mostly positives, one con (in my book). - It's EXTREMELY easy to set up. Plug a couple of cables in (optical, power, etc), put my headphones in pairing mode, hit the button on the Orbit that says "connect" and bam, done. Sound is great. I love that I have no worries. If anything happens I know that their CS responds fast and will be there if I need them. - it saves SIX headphones! The Oasis saves 3. I'll watch and if a pair runs out of battery I will switch to another pair. Unfortunately, I have about 5 sets of headphones sitting around at one time so, if I pair one that isn't already paired, it will delete one of the previous 3. Which is the biggest reason I got these, 6 headphones. - It's usb C, thank gosh. Any devices still using micro usb needs to switch because those will be obsolete here soon. My only big con is the backlight display, I wish you could dim it down or turn it off. It stays on too long (55 sec) whenever you touch a button on the headset (vol + vol -, mute) or connect/disconnect a bluetooth device. I love that it has it but I rarely need to use the screen so I don't need that light as much, 10 sec if you push a button on the device would be sufficient. The bottom also has a light that doesn't turn off.
