Twelve South AirFly SE, Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter Adapter, White | Bluetooth Adapter for AirPods/Headphones, 20+ Hr Battery, Works with 3.5mm aux Jacks on Airplanes, TVs, Gym Equipment, Travel

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!

This was so good I bought two more for my daughters! Really good idea that lets you pair your own headphones (which lets face it are so much more comfy than the ones you get on any aeroplane) with the inflight entertainment screen Charges quickly and kept going for the 10 hour flight with no problem. Be aware that for those in UK, these only work on long haul flights as shorter hauls don't tend to have any input socket on their screens.

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.

Brilliant! Paired instantly with Apple AirPod Max and no delay with sound watching movies. Great piece of kit

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 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.

Doesn’t work. Very hard to connect

Great gadget for flying

Den här ger mig möjligheten att koppla mina brusreducerande hörlurar till undrhållningssystemen på flyg. Funkar utan några som helst problem.

Due to the delay added in the audio path the video and audio get out of sync. This makes it very annoying to watch any movies in flight.

I used these on a few international plane trips with Singapore Airlines with my AirPods Pro (1st Gen) as well as my Sony over ear headphones. They were pretty easy to sync and switch between the two different headsets. There was no notable lag I could tell when watching the in flight entertainment system. The battery life was about 18 hours but seemed quick to recharge.

quick set up, works great

Très pratique pour utiliser mes écouteurs ou mon casque Bluetooth dans l’avion. La connexion est stable et l’appareil fonctionne comme prévu, rien à redire sur l’efficacité. Par contre, pour un usage ponctuel (on ne prend pas l’avion tous les jours), le prix est un peu élevé, j’ai eu la chance de l’acheter pendant une réduction. Malgré ça, je ne regrette pas : c’est un vrai confort en voyage.
