Avantree DG60 Long Range Wireless Audio Adapter with Bluetooth 5.0 USB Connection

Shinzo Murasaki: It works well, only thing is that it has many issues when connecting to airpods, which is what I use.
Also has constant disconnect or audio issues when no sound is being played, but changing the tab between modes fixes the problem

RicknRedmond: Tried several little dongle type Blue Tooth transmitters. All had claims of 10 meters or 50 ft or so and exceptional range, but did not get a reliable signal across the house. The DG60 does the job. I'm pleased.

Tang Wai Chung: Good for music transmission via Bluetooth

United States on Jun 27, 2023

Sven Erik Matzen: Die Lieferung war sehr schnell und komplett ohne Probleme. Sehr gut gefällt mir die Sound-Qualität - ist deutlich besser als bei dem einfachen, eingebauten Bluetooth des Laptops oder eines einfachen Bluetooth-Dongles. Ich hatte auf eine etwas bessere Übertragung im Haus gehofft - aber irgendwann stößt Bluetooth halt an seine Grenzen. Die Übertragung durch zwei Gasbeton-Wände funktioniert noch so gerade eben - mit einigen Aussetzern und "Knacken" im Kopfhörer (ich nutze einen Valco VMK20). Aber das ist immerhin besser als bei meinem vorherigen Bluetooth-Dongle. Die Latenz (Verzögerung) ist auch bei aptX-HD kurz genug, um Filme via Amazon Prime zu schauen (@Amazon: wäre klasse, wenn man das Video für solche vorhersagbaren Audio-Verzögerungen um 150ms im Vergleich zum Audio verzögern könnte - dann hebt das die Audio-Verzögerung vollständig auf und filme kommen mit Kopfhörern noch besser).

Amazon Customer: First off the one I was sent was clearly a returned item. The package seal was broken and the USB cable missing. Neither are deal breakers but still...
Tried this with some sennheiser headphones and it worked well. Pairing was easy and the reach of the signal much greater than the usb dongle I was using. However when I tried to pair a second device (a Marantz audio streamer) chaos ensued. The signal was intermittent and the volume control on the streamer went berserk (go figure). And no, I wasn't trying to use both at the same time.
So if you want a simple bluetooth transmitter for use with one device then this will do the job as advertised. If your needs are more complicated I wouldn't recommend this sort of driverless transmitter. I've put it in the box of bits for possible use sometime in the future and have bought a different one for use on my PC.

Chango: I got the adapter to gain bigger roaming range for my Plantronics Voyager Focus headphones, which I use heavily for work calls on Teams and quite a bit for personal calls on Google Voice. These headphones come with their own adapter, BT600, which somehow makes the integration with the call software on the PC pretty good: I can answer calls just by putting on the headphones (they have some ear pressure sensor) or at least answer by pushing the call button on the side; the mute button on the phones also activates the Mute toggle in Teams. Best feature: While muted, the light on the BT600 goes to amber. This is super useful for making sure you are not making noise while just listening during meetings and moving about the house.
The DG60 lacks/kills all the above nice features. But it does give me the higher range across floors so that at least I can keep listening to those endless meetings while preparing a snack in the kitchen. There is a caveat related to the long range too, though: Sometimes people tell me they hear electronic noise from me, even though my headset is muted. I guess the radio amplifier in the DG60 is generating that noise. The problem can be avoided if I mute...

Carlos: Complicado de instalar me costó que funcionara con unos cascos , solucionado gracias al asistente de windows , había que marcar una casilla en la configuración del sonido.

Joe: I have no idea what is going on with bluetooth and linux but it seems like there are *NO* easy 5.0 solutions on the desktop. If you have a laptop with builtin BT 5.0 or an M.2 card then you are probably supported (bluez and kernel maintainers all say they support BT 5.0) they you probably are in luck and you can get BT 5.0. But good luck trying to find after-market hardware for this if you have a desktop. Go to reddit and ask who is using BT5.0. No dice. Buy MULTIPLE pci cards labeled as AX210 chipsets and BT 5.2. You'll probably find that lsusb NEVER shows the BT device even with kernel 5.12 (im in arch/manjaro). Go shopping for a bluetooth 5.2 dongle (good luck they don't make them it seems). Go shopping for a 5.0 dongle, good luck finding ANY support in linux. It's kind of insane how bad the hardware support is right now 1+ year into BT5.

This dongle will solve audio problems for you. I can't speak to all the other features. But I am successfully using it with my Jabra Evovle2 85 and as other's have said the range is KILLER. This device will act as a plug in usb and uses it's own internal BT stack, so you won't be using BT in linux with this device, it will show up as a...

Roy: Everything works well, however I did assume it would simply connect to become a independent bluetooth driver, instead you need to connect devices to the usb directly and it then feeds it through, so not much control over what connects, sometimes gets a bit messy with multiple headsets. Would be ideal if it became a bluetooth driver directly like my old Linksys running bluetooth 1.

Kev: (This review is for a DG60, sold by AvantreeDirect and Fulfilled by Amazon in Nov2020). The item was delivered quickly, but is not as detailed in the listing's product description: the slide switch on mine offers only bluetooth mode or something called 'broadcast', not music or high definition audio as pictured and described. By default it would always choose aptx-LL (even though my receiver offers aptx-HD).

To add further to the problem, nowhere in the instructions does it offer any alternative explanation of how to set to High Definition (in fact at times the info in the instructions did not appear to reflect my device at all). The result was hours of frustration and very nearly a return. The manufacturer's website offered downloadable instructions, but these were of no more use than the hard copy already included. Eventually.. I found a separate entry burried within their product support pages: Guide and troubleshooting.. All Questions.. How to use the Product (operations guide).. How to get aptX-HD Codec (Pre-2020 Batches ONLY). I've no idea how one can tell the date but this worked so I guess is a pre-2020 model.

Anyway, that initial aggro aside, the product...
