The Twelve South AirFly Pro is a small Bluetooth transmitter that plugs into any 3.5mm headphone jack and broadcasts wirelessly to AirPods or any other Bluetooth headphones. Use it on a plane to connect AirPods to the seat-back screen, on a treadmill at the gym to hear the TV through your earbuds, or to share audio with a second person from one device. 16+ hour battery, two-headphone share mode, and aptX low-latency keeps audio synced to the picture. Best fit: frequent flyers, gym treadmill user

Pros

  • Plugs into a plane seat-back jack and broadcasts to AirPods or any Bluetooth headphones, no more dangling earbud cord
  • Shares audio to two headphones at once, perfect for couples on a flight or kids in a back seat
  • aptX low-latency keeps voice synced to picture, not the lip-sync delay you get from cheap Bluetooth adapters

Cons

  • Requires charging every 16 hours, easy to forget pre-flight; pack it in a kit with a small USB-C cable

Frequently asked questions

Will it work with AirPods Pro?

Yes, the AirFly Pro is specifically designed for AirPods and AirPods Pro, plus any other Bluetooth headphones. Pairing is the standard hold-button-to-pair flow.

Does it work in the gym for treadmill TVs?

Yes, that is one of its most-mentioned use cases. Plug it into the cardio machine's audio jack and pair your earbuds to listen to the TV.

How long does the battery last on a transatlantic flight?

Battery runs for 16+ hours on a single charge, enough for any long-haul flight. Charging is over USB-C in about 2 hours.

Can it connect to a phone or tablet too?

It is a transmitter (one-way Bluetooth out), so it sends audio to headphones, not from a phone. For phone-to-AirPods you do not need it, AirPods pair to phones natively.
