Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2024These headphones have impressed me, and I find I prefer them even to some more expensive Sennheisers. The sound quality is pretty good; not quite matching the Sennheisers nor my older Audio Technica wired headphones (not quite crisp enough, with a little too much bass), but not far off, and noticeably better than the 18-month-older Avantree Audition Pro; Avantree is clearly trying to improve.
The headphones are well-designed: they are comfortable to wear for as long as the battery lasts (just slightly warm due to the closed backs); the dock is easy to use (the headphones turn on and connect automatically when removed from the dock - Sennheiser could learn from this!); it's easy to swap between audio from the dock and audio from a Bluetooth device so I can be playing music from my PC and then switch to listening to something from my phone without going to swap my headphones.
Above all, the range is AMAZING. I have gone to some lengths to try to extend the signal from other wireless headphones to cover my whole two-bedroom flat. No other headphones quite manage it; the best I had managed before involved drilling through a wall and running a Bluetooth transmitter (actually an earlier Avantree) with an external antenna under the bed in the exact centre of the flat, and even then it drops out sometimes. The Avantree Opera Plus however easily covers my whole flat without fuss, even with the dock behind my PC in one corner of the flat, and myself stood in the opposite corner, the other side of four thick concrete walls and several pieces of furniture. Not a single drop-out.
The downside: the voice prompts are far too LOUD. I was cooking whilst listening to something through my headphones this evening. Suddenly a voice yelled "LOW BATTERY!!!" at 10x the volume whilst I was carrying food. I dropped my food.
