Because we don’t live in a world where every audio device offers Bluetooth, the AirFly Pro can make AirPods even better. In-seat entertainment systems on long flights are the most obvious place to plug one in, but there are many others, such as the Nintendo Switch. Plug the AirFly Pro into the AUX port on your car radio, pair Twelve South’s accessory with your iPhone, and you can play music from your phone over the car’s speakers. However, this device falls short when used on long flights for flight movies because of its limited battery life. It will be helpful for those seeking comfort in flight with flight entertainment on shorter flights. The battery will drain much faster if you share audio with your partner's headphones. All in all, the device is a good value for money and aptly fulfills its purpose. This accessory is short range, and you’ll have to be very careful to not accidentally leave it behind, but Twelve South created something very useful. Pricing Stare intently at the vaguely blinking lights on both devices until one or both them changes their color, blink speed, or both

Twelve South promises 18 hours of use on a single charge, so you can count on this accessory lasting through your flight to Japan. And it works while charging, if the battery goes dead while you still need to use it. Audio receivingAirPods were clearly the inspiration for Twelve South’s designers. AirFly Pro has the rounded corners and edges of Apple’s earbuds. It’s all smooth and shiny white plastic, just like the AirPods case. The cable for the 3.5mm audio plug is just an inch long, but is there to mostly give you some flexibility when plugging in.

It would be nice if there were audible tones to let you know what’s going on. As it is, you need to watch that LED. The battery is rechargeable via USB Type-C and can provide up to 16+ hours battery life in a single charge (depends on usage, of course). The main button is used to turn the Airfly Pro on and off, but there is also a toggle which will set the device into either Transmit or Receive Audio mode. There was a slight audio latency when I tested Airfly Pro (about half a second or so) while watching the in-flight movies. The delay was not huge and might not be a big deal to some, but I could notice it. This is because I was using Bose QC35 II which has a Bluetooth 4.1 (doh, silly me). Airfly Pro actually supports Bluetooth 5.0 aptX Low Latency which will cut this latency to 1ms, almost negligible.It also supports Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX Low Latency Codecs so if your Bluetooth headphones or earphones support Bluetooth 5.0, you won’t get any audio latency when playing games or watching movies with the Airfly Pro. Setup is a snap. Just press and hold the power button on the front of this accessory. A blinking LED will tell you the AirFly Pro is ready to pair, so put your AirPods or other device into pairing mode also and the two will start communicating. Whichever mode you are in will require you to connect to AirFly Pro via Bluetooth, which is surprisingly easy. Simply hold & press the main button to set it to pairing mode. Do the same with your favourite wireless headphones like the Bose QC35 II or Beats Solo Pro, or wireless earbuds like the Jabra Elite 75t or Beats Powerbeats Pro. They will automatically pair without having to open any app or settings on your phone. There is also a tiny reset button which will reset all the pairing list to factory settings when you press & hold the button for 4 seconds.

AirFly Pro can even connect to two pairs of wireless headphones at the same time. You and a friend can listen to the same music while jogging. Or both watch a movie on a laptop with headphones. If you have a pair of Bluetooth speakers, you can even fill a room with (non-stereo) sound. AirFly Pro lets you toggle between Transmission (TX) and Receiver (RX) modes. With TX mode, you can wirelessly stream audio to any wired speaker from your device. With RX mode, you can enjoy audio from any audio-out device directly into your earphones. The device has a small keyring that you can attach to your keyring. What we like about AirFly ProTransmit mode means it will send the audio from the device it’s plugged to, straight to your Bluetooth device (e.g your Bluetooth headphones/earphones). For example, if you plug it to your Nintendo Switch, you can use any Bluetooth earphones/headphones with the console. Airfly Pro Review – Ever wish you can use your noise-cancelling headphones with the aeroplane’s flight entertainment system without the pesky cable? Or ever wish your favourite speaker at home has a Bluetooth functionality? Ever wish to be able to share a song or gaming on a console using your own headphones? Ever wish you can watch a movie airing on the hotel room’s TV using your wireless headphones? Ever wish your old car supports Bluetooth so you don’t have to listen to the radio all the time? In my testing, the AirFly Pro is easy to use and reliable. It had no problems connecting to any of the Bluetooth devices I tried. That includes multiple pairs of headphones, and a speaker too. This accessory is easy to carry around, measuring just 2.2 inches by 1.0 inches by 0.4 inches. It’s a featherweight 0.6 ounces (17 grams). You can also share audio with the Airfly Pro. For example, you can watch something together but wearing your own, different Bluetooth headphones. Or you can play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch on the plane and have the sound played on your own earphones/headphones separately. Airfly Pro Review Conclusion

Receive mode means it will receive Bluetooth audio signal/data and the audio will be played on whatever 3.5mm device it’s plugged to (i.e speakers, or your car audio input, etc). Plus, if you want to invest in an inexpensive 3.5 mm audio converter, you can connect this gizmo to any wired headphones. This means any headphones you encounter can be Bluetooth. There’s a removable cover for the plug that includes a loop so you can attach the AirFly Pro to your keys, but be careful using it: If the cover pops off, you’ve lost this accessory. Maybe keep it in a bag instead.So if you have a wireless earphones or headphones that supports Bluetooth 5.0 like the new Apple Airpods Pro, Bose’s new 700, or the Beats Solo Pro I use for my daily commute, you should be good. If you only have headphones that support the older Bluetooth version, you can still use the Airfly Pro for music (and movies or games, but with a slight delay that I told you about). I wish I paid attention to this before I took my old Bose instead to fly! The one real limitation of the AirFly Pro is it’s fairly short range. If you’re planning on going more than 15 feet or so from the audio source, this isn’t the product for you. But that’s not a issue if you’re in a plane seat, or working out on a piece of gym equipment.
