Avantree DG80 – Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter for PS5 & Gaming Consoles with Low Latency & aptX-Adaptive, Wireless Audio Transmitter for Headphones & Earbuds

Works with PCs, ChromeBooks, and even Amazon Devices!
This device is awesome. Just plug it in and it works.Pairing with two Bluetooth headsets was perfect the first time and very fast. When I initially plugged it in to my Chromebook it immediately went into pairing mode, so I setup the 1st headset. It took about 10 seconds to find it and pair it. I pressed the button for 5 seconds and again it went into pairing mode and the 2nd headset was ready to go. Fired up a video and BAM! Crystal clear audio out of both headsets with no noticeable delay.I took off the headsets and suddenly the sound stopped. What?? My headsets have the feature when directly connected via Bluetooth to my phone or laptop that when I take the headsets off whatever I’m watching or listening to pauses. When I put them back on they resume. I put the headset back on and BAM! the show started playing again. Wow, features I didn’t think would be supported are on this adapter. Cool!Ok, so before purchasing the adapter, I asked if this adapter was supported by the Amazon Fire Cube. Of course, someone who probably doesn’t even own one of these adapters said NO, it won’t work. Well I’m here to tell you that he is misinformed and completely wrong.First I plugged it into my original Fire Cube as it natively has a USB A port and instantly my headsets came to life with audio.Next I dug out my Micro USB to USB adapter and popped it into my Kindle Fire. Again, instant audio.Fire Cube (1st & 2nd Edition) – Yup!Even my Fire Stick with a special adapter.Apparently Amazon really has their stuff together. It sees this as a generic audio device and starts outputting on it immediately. YES IT DOES TURN OFF AUDIO COMING THROUGH HDMI just like it does if you pair a Bluetooth device directly to the Fire device. The only difference here is that I can have 2 headsets connected to this adapter while all of the Fire devices, my phone, and laptop will only allow one headset to be connected at a time.It works, it’s reliable, it’s super easy to setup. Just buy it!FYI, I did’t give a star rating to Tech Support because I had no need to contact Tech Support (so there!)

Excellent once the firmware is upgraded
This device worked for me on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 without any driver install. It is detected as USB audio device, so people expecting a Bluetooth icon will be surprised. But that is why it says ‘audio only’. It works both with a standard SBC bluetooth headset as aptX LL.The reason I deduct 1 star, is two reaons.First it doesn’t support aptX HD, which is odd as the DG60 does.Second is that the default firmware has bugs and does not work with aptX LL even with its Aventree’s own Aria Pro headset. It will crackle and noise. Switching to another lower quality codec works, but then you could buy a cheaper USB dongle. The solution is instaling the v1.18 firmware, which specifically fixes this issue. That is great, but the reaon they dont’ ship default with this is because of two sub-issues.a) You need v1.18 and not a ‘later’ version. This as their support to my surprise explained v1.22 is not a superset/upgrade, but firmware solutions for different problems. So v1.22 does not contain the aptX LL fix from v1.18. Hence they cannot ship with v1.18 default as you’d lose some of the fixes from the other versions.b) Worse is that the firmware upgrade tool includes a special driver that no longer works on the most recent Windows 10 versions *unless* you disable a security feature called ‘memory integrity’ which can be found in settings under “Core Isolation”. I suspect many people will simply not be able to upgrade the firmware, as they won’t figure this out.Once upgraded though the DG80 works fantastic with aptX LL.Also it is dual-receiver so I can connect at the same time to my iPhone and PC and seemlessly switch.

Excelente Dongle !!

It appears i have been automatically upgraded to the DG80P (Bluetooth5.3) instead of the DG80 that i ordered. Couldnt find anything online about this new product. On the box it just says “aptX Adaptive”, which got me a bit worried since i bought it for the aptX Low Latency. But according to the user manual the DG80P supports both aptX Low Latency and aptX Adaptive (and the usual aptX HD, aptX, and SBC). And so yes, after plugging in, pairing with my aptX LL receiver, i now finally have a low latency bluetooth audio stream! The audio/video sync test movies you can find on youtube show that it actually is about 30-40ms. Very nice!
