Twelve South AirFly Pro 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, Black

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 was looking to make life a bit easier for my 85 year old father-in-law, who says he is too old to start learning about streaming and downloading music. I bought this on the advice of a young lad in my local Currys who said this was the best and simplest solution. It enables any bit of old audio equipment with a 3.5mm jack plug to be converted to bluetooth for use with wireless headphones, you can even play your old vinyl out the back of your turntable. Its so easy to use and its rechargeable so no messing about with batteries. The look on my father-in-laws face was priceless when he realised how far he could wander off with his wireless headphones, it was like he had discovered a new miracle.Superb item and relatively inexpensive. Its smaller than a Babybel cheese, comes with a USB charging cable and its own little velvet travel pouch with a usb charging cable.

This is a game changer in long haul flights. The sound quality is great and it connects first time easily.I had to use with the an adapter on my recent flight to Thailand, but it worked well. It’s a good size and charges quickly.The only downside side is that sometimes I had to turn it off and on again to do a reconnect if I took my headphones off to say go to the toilet on the flight. Not a big deal, but would be nice for it to stay connected.

I bought this when I flew from the UK to South Africa (10Hrs) and wanted to use my AirPod Max rather than their skanky headphones.It’s really easy to use and connect (just read the instructions before you have to put your phone in flight mode) and the battery lasted ages. I didn’t get any loss of connection when using this.A small and simple gadget that makes a big difference when you fly.

Works very well easy to connect with bluetooth on my iphone very good quality connection which make a difference to the sound and reasonable volume i use most often to connect to my ipod . I can highly recommend

Good product works well I used it on british airways aircraft with good results. Delivery was very fast. I would recommend to those going on a flight who wants to use wireless headphones.

I think that overall this would be a great product if it connected to all bluetooth headphones. I can get it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy buds so easily, but I have driven myself mad trying to get it to connect to Sennheiser bluetooth headphones. I contacted Twelve South and they were less than helpful, stating that they haven't tested it on all headphones and gave me a link to a guide I'd already read twice. Still no success.The sound is a little muffled on my buds, compared to bluetooth straight from my phone, for example, but I can live with that.I will keep it for future flights where I think it will be invaluable. If only we could both listen at the same time with Sennheiser and Samsung devices!

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.
