As a frequent traveler, the quest for the perfect travel accessory can feel endless, particularly when it comes to finding solutions that bridge the gap between modern wireless technology and the often outdated in-flight entertainment systems. The Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter/Receiver emerges as a game-changer in this space, offering an elegant solution for using AirPods Pro 2 and other Bluetooth headphones with any 3.5mm audio jack. After using the AirFly Pro on multiple flights, I am thoroughly impressed by its performance, design, and the freedom it offers.
Ease of Use
The AirFly Pro is remarkably user-friendly, with a simple setup process that involves plugging the device into the headphone jack of an in-flight entertainment system and pairing it with your AirPods Pro 2. The pairing process is swift and intuitive, allowing you to connect up to two devices simultaneously. This feature proved invaluable on a long-haul flight where both my partner and I could enjoy the same movie without the hassle of tangled wires or subpar airline headphones.
Design and Build Quality
Compact and lightweight, the AirFly Pro is the epitome of travel-friendly design. Its sleek black exterior is unobtrusive and blends well with any tech setup. Despite its small size, the device feels durable and well-made, capable of withstanding the rigors of travel without issue. The inclusion of a small travel pouch is a thoughtful touch, providing a convenient way to store and protect the device when not in use.
Performance
The true test of any Bluetooth transmitter is its performance, particularly when it comes to maintaining a stable connection and delivering high-quality audio. The AirFly Pro excels in both areas. Throughout my flights, the connection to my AirPods Pro 2 remained flawless, with no noticeable lag or dropout. The audio quality transmitted was clear and crisp, allowing me to become fully immersed in movies and music, thus greatly enhancing my in-flight entertainment experience.
Battery Life
With a battery life of up to 16 hours, the AirFly Pro easily lasted through long flights, and it can be charged via USB-C, which is convenient and fast. The ability to charge it using the same cable as my laptop and phone simplifies packing and ensures the device is always ready for use.
Compatibility
One of the most appealing aspects of the AirFly Pro is its wide compatibility. It works not only with AirPods Pro 2 but with any Bluetooth-enabled headphones or earbuds. This versatility makes it an essential accessory not just for travel but for use at home with equipment lacking Bluetooth capability.
Conclusion
The Twelve South AirFly Pro is an indispensable accessory for anyone looking to use wireless headphones with in-flight entertainment systems or any device with a 3.5mm audio jack. Its ease of use, excellent performance, and broad compatibility make it a standout product. The freedom to use my Apple AirPods Pro 2 during flights, without sacrificing audio quality or dealing with cumbersome wires, has significantly improved my travel experience. The AirFly Pro is a high-quality, versatile device that I would highly recommend to any traveler or audio enthusiast looking to bridge the gap between wireless audio and wired sources.

Works great with Airpod Pro 1st Gen
This is my unbiased review of the Twelve south Airfly Pro (black). The color you choose is somewhat important, more on that below.== SUMMARY ==Solid performance, very good audio quality paired with my 1st gen Apple Airpod Pros. Pleased with this product and would buy again.That said, there are a couple of flaws. If I could buy again, I may opt for the white color model.== PROS ==Universal compatibility on any airplane or laptop with standard 3.5mm headphone out jack.Battery life is 25 hours, which was more than enough for me to enjoy the four movies on a cross-Pacific international flight using a single charge.Ability to charge via USB while paired with earbuds/Bluetooth headphones. (However, read the cons section.)Solid audio quality when paired with Apple Airpod Pro 1st Gen. I don't have any experience with the latest gen Airpods. Noise cancellation on my airpods were sufficient for me to enjoy my international flight. I don't plan to ever use wired headsets on a plane again.Very lightweight and includes a travel pouch.Uses USB-C as input for charging (very short charging cable included).== CONS ==One-time Bluetooth pairing setup took a few attempts to sync properly with my Airpod Pros. I would recommend pairing at home before you travel, rather than on the plane if you can avoid it. It will save you some hassle.USB charging is convenient while being able to listen, but there is a noticeable signal noise that was audible while listening so I had to unplug the USB cable while using. I would recommend fully charging the Airfly Pro before your travel. The signal interference was coming from the USB connection. I tried switching to a non-OEM cable and still had the same issue with signal noise.As for the BLACK model, I have to criticize the poor usability choice of using black type font for labeling the TX and RX modes to switch between transmitting and receiving. Black text on a black background is just a facepalm moment in poor design. As others have also stated, it is very difficult to read the label for the toggle switch. Sure, you could just memorize the position of your desired toggle, but any good product should have clearly visible labels. It's not a deal-breaker if the black model is on sale, but if the price is the same, going for the white model is preferred.Otherwise, white and black models are identical in features and performance.

I purchased 2 of them about 2 months ago for trip overseas. They are the best purchased ever!! They paired with our bluetooth headsets without any problems. And they worked perfectly in the airplanes. We didn't get any glitch or static noises. They are just perfect. We should have bought AirFlys a long time ago sicne headphone from airline are usually too big for my kid, and always slide down, and she complained too much. With AirFlys, we used our own bluetooth headset and are able to hear movie with great sound quality. I cannot express enough to recommend AirFly especially if you have toddlers.

I ordered the AirFly SE and I’m really happy with it. It took about 2 minutes to get my Bose Bluetooth earbuds to sync up to the AirFly. I tested it out by plugging the AirFly into my laptop and into my Peloton bike. It works great. The sound quality is just fine. There may be a tiny bit of degradation of sound from the device, but not much at all.
I’m going to use this both on airplane rides and on my Peloton. My Peloton bike doesn’t always sync up with my Bluetooth headphones, so I’m going to use the AirFly to help!
