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!

Brilliant device great for cars without usb ports and also great for the PlayStation portal worth the extra money battery life is great and easy to connect to. Brilliant quality for sound either through headphones or via aux in a car.

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.

Purchased for a long flight, to use with my own headphones instead of the headphones supplied. Wow what a difference. A definite must

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.

such a game changer to use your bluetooth earbuds instead of those crappy airplane wired earbuds or any wired earbud for that matter. ensure you take a moment to read the instructions, especially if you do not use apple earbuds. apple earbuds will connect differently than other brands, so do read the instructions to avoid frustration in-flight. highly recommend. a bit pricy, but IMO well worth it. connects well, easy to use, and takes up minimal space. the velvet bag is very handy as helps prevent losing small parts of this product.

Had to return as ruined a 6 hour flight because they kept on disconnecting with the occasional screeching interference. I gave Twelve South the benefit of the doubt after the first version I purchased a few years back just stopped connecting after using just a handful of times. Never again!

The seller was very professional, and I have no criticism of them. However, I could not get this item to pair with either of my Focal or Sony headphones. I followed the instructions, and tried several times, but to no avail. I suggest trying one out with a retailer before making a purchase.
