" ... I previously purchased a different brand transmitter which continually disconnected from the headphones I use it with and I was only 15 feet from the transmitter that advertised 33 ft. ... The Avantree advertises 100 ft and I believe that to be true even though I have only tested it to about 70 ft without a problem. ... "

" ... Signal is good and my wife isn't complaining about the TV being too loud anymore. ... "

I didn't want to drape cables 20 feet across the room and the hassles that implies, so then I was going to get another amp and speaker set, then an echo or something similar but I really didn't like that I was buying an inferior hi-fi to what I already had. ... If you care that much about sound quality then get some 30 foot long cables by all means. ... "
" ... The splitter also changed the signal from digital (optical) to analog (RCA) with a red and white out put cord that paired perfectly with the Avantree product. ... "
