Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter/Receiver for TV/Airplane to 2 Wireless Headphones – Wireless Adapter for AirPods, Airplane, Car, Gym, Home, Use with Any 3.5 mm Audio Jack, White

We do quite a few long haul flights for our holidays, and grew tired of the headphones given out by cabin crew; they're uncomfortable and you cannot hear the move/music over the general cabin noise. I wanted a way I can use my Apple AirPods Max to use on a flight. Step forward the Twelve South TS-2259. What an amazing little gadget! It works a treat, pairing is simple (best to test it at home before boarding the plane). You'll need to buy an adaptor that fits the dual 3.5mm plug on the plane, but that's it. I charged the device ahead of a recent 17 hour flight to Japan and it lasted for the whole journey. When researching these gadgets, I noticed people saying there was a lag between seeing people speak on the screen and hearing the sound. If this gadget has a lag, I didn't notice. I really can't praise it enough, it's small, holds a charge, is simple to use and even comes with it's own little carry case. One of the best things I have bought for a flight; allowing me to use my headphone's noise cancelling feature for 17 hours is the best ever!

I recently discovered the Twelve South AirFly Pro, and it has become my ultimate travel companion for airplane journeys! This versatile device allows me to enjoy wireless audio on flights, making my travel experience more enjoyable and hassle-free. Here's why I highly recommend the Twelve South AirFly Pro for all your airplane journeys: Wireless Audio Freedom: The AirFly Pro lets me use my favourite wireless headphones or earbuds with the airplane's in-flight entertainment system. No more dealing with uncomfortable and low-quality airline headphones! Universal Compatibility: The AirFly Pro works seamlessly with any audio jack, whether it's a standard headphone jack or a dual-pronged airline jack, ensuring compatibility with all airlines.

Long Battery Life: The AirFly Pro's impressive battery life ensures it lasts through even the longest international flights, keeping me entertained throughout the journey.

Convenient Charging: The AirFly Pro can be charged via USB-C, which is a widely available charging option, eliminating the need to carry extra cords. In conclusion, the Twelve South AirFly Pro is a game-changer for airplane journeys. Its wireless audio freedom, universal compatibility, and ease of use make it an essential travel gadget.

These are fantastic and make a long haul flights onboard media unbelievably better. Using AirPod max’s the audio was clear and excellent quality and with noise isolation you barely knew you were on a plane. Only marked down due to the price which is steep given so many cheaper alternatives available, however the battery life and charge times need to be considered plus these do Bluetooth transmit and receive so they can also be used in cars/for speakers without BT compatibility.

Excellent product, work seamlessly with my AirPods on a plane journey with no sound lag. Crystal clear sound. It’s very easy to set up and battery life is great

Worked perfectly on TUI Dreamliner 787 I think it was, from Manchester to Orlando. Used it with Bluetooth KS kitsound overhead headphones. No time delay on the sound that I noticed. Will be keeping it to use on my next flight next year and may even buy one for hubby! Defo a good little gadget to have! Comes boxed and includes carry pouch, charging cable and instructions not that I needed them as it was simple enough to work out without.. Overall happy costumer!

I travelled from the UK to America with United and wasn’t sure if the in flight entertainment screens would be Bluetooth enabled or not. I always prefer to use my own headphones as they are vastly superior to the earbuds that airlines provide. I read conflicting reports on the availability of Bluetooth on United planes, so to hedge my bets I bought an AirFly. I’m very glad I did because when ny holiday finally rolled around, it turned out that neither of my United flights had Bluetooth. But thanks to the AirFly, all I had to do was plug it in and my headphones worked perfectly with the IFE. Connecting was simple, the sound quality was crystal clear, volume was nice and loud, and the battery lasted for the duration of my 11 hour flight and beyond. The AirFly isn’t cheap and I debated whether or not to buy it due to that, but I’m so glad I did because it solves the problem it’s designed to solve perfectly. Also it’s a one-time purchase that guarantees Bluetooth connectivity for every flight you take from now on, so when you consider it as a long term investment it’s really worth the price overall. The majority of planes still don’t have Bluetooth connectivity so it’s something I will use for a while to come.

I wanted to connect with my Bluetooth Hearing Aids but this device doesn’t. It does connect with other Bluetooth devices. I have recently discovered that this device can be used to send audio to Bluetooth Hearing Aids, but you need to buy another device called a ConnectClip, which then makes it all work. It is not a cheap device, I’ve been quoted almost £150.00. I haven’t bought one yet.

The device is compact and lightweight and holds its charge well. The only problem is that it just does t really deliver when it comes to watching in-flight movies while travelling. I have tried this with Apple AirPod Pro and Bose QC Ultra and the delay in audio sync is noticeable. It’s not completely unwatchable but it’s enough to spoil the movie or show. For those reasons I can’t rate it any higher than a 3star. Great little device but does not work as expected.
