Avantree C81

The Avantree C81 Bluetooth Adapter lets you easily add Bluetooth functionality to any device that outputs audio through a USB-C port. Now you can connect your Bluetooth headphones or speakers to gaming consoles like the PS4/PS5 and Switch that don’t have Bluetooth support, as well as Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS-based computers, and wirelessly stream high-quality audio to them. In addition, a mini analog microphone is part of the bundle so you can enjoy stereo-quality in-game chat. This adapter is AptX LL-certified for minimal audio lag and a better viewing experience, and supports dual-streaming to two pairs of headphones so you can share your gaming enjoyment with a friend. And no worries – a USB-C to USB-A converter is included to work with devices that may not have a USB-C port.

Stream your PS5 or Switch Gaming Audio

Avantree C81

Stream audio from your PS5 or Switch into your favorite pair of Bluetooth headphones so you can enjoy your late-night gaming sessions without disturbing your family or friends. You may have two pairs of Bluetooth headphones connected at the same time.

Easy Setup – No Driver Installation Needed!

There’s no need to waste time going through a complex driver installation with our C81 Bluetooth adapter. Instead, simply plug it into your device’s USB-C port, pair it with your Bluetooth headphones or speaker, and you’re all set. Changing light indicators on the adapter help you mark each step. On subsequent uses, power on your devices and then touch the button on the adapter – you are good to go! A USB-C to USB-A converter cable is included if your device does not have an available USB-C port.

Great for Meetings as Well

The C81 dongle is not only great for game audio streaming but it’s also perfect for work-from-home conference calls and meetings. Skype, Zoom, Teams, Meet & more, the Bluetooth USB adapter automatically switches between Music and Talk modes when used on a Windows PC or Mac. (Double-click to switch between the modes on Linux)

Wide Compatibility

The C81 adapter is designed to work with a wide range of devices. Easily transmit wireless audio from your USB-C ported PS5, Switch/Switch Lite, or PC/Laptop (Windows, Chrome, Linux and Mac are supported) to your Bluetooth headphones or speaker. In addition, a converter cable is included to enable devices with just a USB-A port, like the PS4, Switch TV dock, and older computers, to have the same functionality.

AptX Low Latency for Real-Time Audio Synch

The Avantree C81 Bluetooth USB adapter is aptX Low Latency certified, so when you pair it with Bluetooth speakers or headphones that also support aptX-LL, audio lag will be reduced to less than 40ms – basically not discernible. This level of performance is perfect for gaming or watching movies, where audio synced to the action that’s happening on screen is critical.

Microphone Included for Chat Support

We’ve included a mini analog microphone that you can easily plug into the auxiliary jack on your PS4/5 controller or Switch to enable in-game wireless voice chat. During a gaming session, you’ll be able to clearly communicate with the other players to plan strategies and celebrate victories.

Dual-Streaming to Share the Enjoyment

The dual-link feature of the C81 lets you pair your device with two Bluetooth headphones or speakers simultaneously. Stuck in a long layover with your partner? Connect two headphones to your laptop and enjoy a movie session together! We recommend using headphones that support aptX Low Latency to reduce any audio lag.

How can I get the best audio experience on my PS5?

For the best audio experience please use the C81 for the audio output and your PS5 controller for the input (microphone). For how to set up, please refer to the manual.

If you choose to use your headphones’ microphone instead, the in-game background music will suffer degradation due to the low sampling rate (16kHz) of standard Classic Bluetooth in Hands-Free (HFP) mode. In the near future, devices which support the new Bluetooth LE Audio standard can overcome this issue due to its higher sampling rate.

Our upcoming products like the Avantalk C82, Infinity NC, Aria Pro 3, and Eon Pro, will all support the new LE Audio standard.

[Hassle-Free Set Up]: Get wireless Bluetooth audio streaming in no time with the C81. Simply plug it into your device’s USB-C port, set your headphones or speakers to pairing mode, and an automatic connection will be made. No driver or software installation is needed!
[Wide Compatibility]: The C81 adapter is designed to work with a wide range of devices, and makes it simple for previously unsupported devices to now have Bluetooth capability. Easily transmit audio wirelessly from your USB-C ported PS5, Switch, or PC/Laptop to your Bluetooth headphones or speaker. In addition, a converter cable is included to enable devices with just a USB-A port to have the same functionality.
[High-Quality Audio]: The C81 supports seamless, wireless voice chat via an included microphone to plug into your controller. In addition to chatting during the game, you can also listen to background music simultaneously, and do both in stereo sound. No limits to audio quality here.
[Eliminate Audio Delays]: Having your audio out-of-sync with your game or video is really frustrating. You can eliminate the issue with the C81, which is aptX Low Latency certified. Lag is reduced to less than 40ms, 5x shorter than standard Bluetooth and virtually unnoticeable. Now you can enjoy gaming or watching a movie with real-time audio synchronization.
[Extended Range]: The Avantree C81 uses Bluetooth v5.0, ensuring stable & reliable connectivity up to 100 ft (30 m) away. Need to step away from your screen? No problem. Walk around without the audio connection breaking up or dropping. Actual range may be affected by any physical obstructions.
