SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Recent studies show that the average U.S. household has 2.5 TVs – TVs that add flexibility and versatility to a home, but that are also underwhelmingly catered to in the world of tech products. For example, many people these days like to use wireless headphones to listen to & watch their favorite shows. The problem is, these wireless setups are designed to optimally work with only one TV. You can't connect your headphones to both TVs at the same time, so if you ever want to switch between TVs, you'll need to first disconnect them from the original TV, then head over to the second TV and connect them there. It doesn't matter whether your TV has onboard Bluetooth or if you're using a Bluetooth transmitter – you'll need to disconnect and pair every single time. The Avantree Shift is a simple, clean solution that is designed specifically for homes with multiple TVs. The Shift comes with 2 wireless headphones & 2 transmitters, and with it you can use the same headphones across two different TVs. Each transmitter hooks up to one TV, and the transmitters & headphones are fully cross-compatible, meaning you'll be able to swap between TV setups with just the flip of a switch. You can add an additional transmitter to support a 3rd TV and up to 100 headphones if desired (watch party, anyone?)

Key Points: 
  • For example, many people these days like to use wireless headphones to listen to & watch their favorite shows.
