If you want one small adapter that turns a PS5 or other console into a proper low-latency wireless audio link — the setup I'd reach for first for kids with microphone chat in game — choose Avantree DG80; if you need a complete, plug-and-play over-ear TV headphone set for a senior or hard-of-hearing viewer who just wants to press one button and hear the dialogue, choose Queemie TV Headphones.
Those are two very different jobs. One is a dongle that makes headphones you already own work better with a console. The other is a whole listening system in a box. Neither is "better" in the abstract, and that's exactly why this comparison matters.
• Avantree DG80 — biggest strength: a dedicated, plug-and-forget Bluetooth transmitter with a Qualcomm chipset supporting aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, promising 55ms-or-less lag and up to 100ft / 30m of range when your headphones support those codecs.
• Avantree DG80 — biggest trade-off: it is transmitter only. No headphones, no cables beyond the USB plug, no fallback. If your headset doesn't do aptX-LL or aptX-Adaptive, you get delay, and it can't drive the Sony PULSE 3D or other 2.4GHz headsets.
• Queemie TV Headphones — biggest strength: everything needed for TV listening ships together — over-ear headset, USB transmitter, optical, RCA, 3.5mm and charging cables — with a single power button and up to 20 hours per charge.
• Queemie TV Headphones — biggest trade-off: it's a closed system. The headset and transmitter are pre-paired and, per the manufacturer, cannot be used separately or with other Bluetooth devices. No microphone is listed.
• Who each is for: Avantree DG80 for console gamers, PC-adjacent tinkerers and parents building a low-latency wireless setup around an existing headset; Queemie TV Headphones for a parent, grandparent or hard-of-hearing viewer who wants one button and zero setup drama.
The DG80 is a tiny black USB-A dongle — roughly an inch long and about 10 grams — and it does exactly one thing: it takes audio from your console and beams it to Bluetooth headphones. What makes it interesting is the silicon inside. Avantree specifies a Qualcomm chipset that handles aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, and it transmits 24-bit audio over a stable, energy-efficient connection. In practice, that means when you pair headphones that actually support aptX-LL or aptX-Adaptive, the company claims latency of 55ms or less — the difference between lip-sync that feels right and lip-sync that nags at you during every cutscene.
Setup is genuinely simple, and that's the selling point. You plug the DG80 into the console's USB-A port, put your headphones in pairing mode, and they connect themselves. On the next boot, they reconnect automatically. In the console's sound menu you pick the DG80 as the output device, and Avantree specifically recommends leaving the input device set to the controller's microphone, because routing the mic through your headphones degrades background audio quality. That detail matters a lot for the kids-with-microphone scenario: the adapter supports the HSP and HFP profiles alongside A2DP and AVRCP, so a Bluetooth headset with a boom mic can carry voice chat, while voice input stays on the controller for cleaner game audio.
Buy it if you already own a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones with aptX-LL or aptX-Adaptive, and you want wireless audio on a PS5 or another console without buying a whole new headset. Buy it if range is a concern — up to 100ft / 30m is generous for a bedroom or basement setup. Skip it if your headphones are SBC-only, because the whole low-latency promise evaporates; skip it if you're on a 2.4GHz gaming headset or a PULSE 3D, which Avantree explicitly excludes; and skip it if you need it to do anything other than audio — it won't host mice, keyboards or controllers. For PC use, Avantree itself points buyers toward a different model in its lineup.

Queemie TV Headphones: Who It's For
The Queemie JFH-280TV is the opposite philosophy: a self-contained TV listening kit. You get the over-ear headset, a compact USB transmitter with both 3.5mm and optical ports, and every cable you'd plausibly need — optical, RCA-to-3.5mm, 3.5mm audio and charging. The headset and transmitter arrive pre-paired, so there's no pairing ritual at all. You connect the transmitter to the TV's audio output, power it from a USB port, set the TV's sound output to match (optical, AUX or RCA), and switch the headset on. That's it.
The control scheme is the most distinctive thing about it. There is one power button and no volume controls on the earcups. Queemie's reasoning is that you adjust loudness with the TV remote you're already holding — less fumbling, no tiny buttons to hunt for. For an older viewer or anyone who finds modern remotes intimidating, that's genuinely thoughtful design rather than a cost cut.
On audio, Queemie specs a 40mm dynamic driver, 32-ohm impedance, 105dB sensitivity and a 20Hz–20kHz range, tuned for loud, clear output for people with hearing challenges — the pitch is dialogue and news clarity at ample volume without distortion. Connectivity is Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Low Latency rated under 40ms, plus an internal F-Antenna that the brand says pushes a stable signal through walls up to 100 feet. Comfort is spelled out too: 208g total, protein leather earcups with breathable mesh, and a retractable adjustable headband that Queemie says suits glasses wearers. A 500mAh battery is rated for 20 hours on a 2–3 hour charge. Sound isolation is listed as the noise-control approach — passive, not active cancellation.
Buy it if the goal is one person watching TV at their own volume without waking the house, and that person wants zero menus, zero pairing, zero apps. Skip it if you want a headset that doubles as a phone or console headset — Queemie states plainly that the pair can't be used separately or with other Bluetooth devices. Skip it, too, if you need a microphone for game chat; none is listed anywhere in the spec sheet. And check your TV's output ports before ordering: if the USB port doesn't carry audio, you'll be relying on optical, AUX or RCA, and the TV's audio format may need to be set to PCM to avoid silence.
• Best for seniors or hard-of-hearing viewers → Queemie TV Headphones. One button, volume via the TV remote, 105dB sensitivity and a 40mm driver tuned for loud, clean dialogue.
• Best if you already own good headphones → Avantree DG80. You're buying a bridge, not a whole new pair, so the money goes into the aptX-LL/Adaptive chipset and the 100ft range instead of into drivers and earcups.
• Best if you own nothing and want it working tonight → Queemie TV Headphones. Headset, transmitter and all four cables arrive in one box, already paired.
• Best for lowest stated latency → close, but Queemie TV Headphones on paper. Queemie rates aptX Low Latency under 40ms; Avantree rates 55ms or less — and only when your headphones support aptX-LL or aptX-Adaptive.
• Best for multi-device flexibility → Avantree DG80. Any Bluetooth audio device with the right codecs can pair, whereas Queemie's headset is locked to its own transmitter.
• Best for long sessions away from a charger → Queemie TV Headphones. A 500mAh battery rated at 20 hours, versus a dongle that draws its power from the console's USB port.
• Best for comfort spec transparency → Queemie TV Headphones. 208g, protein leather, breathable mesh and a glasses-friendly headband are all documented; Avantree's dongle has no comfort questions to answer at 10g.
My Verdict
If instead the brief is "Grandma wants to watch her shows at her volume without disturbing anyone," I'd buy the Queemie TV Headphones without hesitation — one button, everything included, 20 hours.
Whichever way you go, check the current price on Amazon before committing; the value math differs a lot depending on whether you're buying a dongle or a full kit.
No. Queemie states the headset and transmitter are pre-paired and cannot be used separately or with other Bluetooth devices. It's a TV-only system, so it isn't a substitute for a gaming headset.
For the low-latency claim, yes. The 55ms-or-less figure only applies to headphones supporting aptX Low Latency or aptX Adaptive; Avantree notes that otherwise you'll experience delay. Sony's PULSE 3D and other 2.4GHz headsets aren't supported at all.
The Avantree DG80, in my opinion. It supports the HSP and HFP headset profiles and Avantree recommends leaving the console's input device on the controller mic for cleaner background audio. The Queemie spec sheet lists no microphone.
The DG80 will feed wireless audio to Bluetooth earbuds that support aptX-LL or aptX-Adaptive, so it can work in that role. Queemie is an over-ear TV set, not an earbud solution — and if you were actually after open ear headphones for swimming, you're on the wrong page entirely; this is a living-room and console comparison. Parents hunting a kids headphones Black Friday deal should also note that the two products here solve different problems, so match the device to the console or TV first.
