AirFly Pro 2
Airplane Entertainment, Two Person Shared Listening, Gym and Treadmill Audio, Gaming Devices, Car and Boat AUX Audio, Wired to Wireless Upgrade, Wireless to Wired Playback
Overview
The Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 is a pocket sized Bluetooth adapter that plugs into any 3.5 mm headphone jack and lets you use AirPods or other wireless headphones with devices that have no wireless audio of their own. In transmit mode it feeds airplane seatback screens, treadmills, gaming devices and older stereos to your headphones, and a TX/RX toggle on the side flips it into receive mode so Bluetooth audio from a phone or tablet can play through a wired speaker or AUX input. It runs Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX HD Adaptive and low latency audio, and dual pairing lets two sets of headphones listen at once using separate PAIR 1 and PAIR 2 buttons. Twelve South rates battery life at over 25 hours and a full charge at about 2 hours over USB-C. The unit measures 56.6 mm by 29 mm by 11.2 mm and weighs 16.5 g, and it comes with a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.
Key Highlights
- A TX and RX switch makes it a true two way adapter: send a wired headphone jack to wireless headphones, or receive Bluetooth audio and play it through a wired speaker or AUX port
- Dual pairing connects two sets of headphones at once, with dedicated PAIR 1 and PAIR 2 buttons for shared listening on a flight, at home or in a car
- Over 25 hours of play time from a roughly 2 hour USB-C charge, sized for long haul flights and road trips
- Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX HD Adaptive and low latency audio, plus on device volume and mute buttons so you do not need the screen remote
- Works with AirPods, Beats, Sony, Bose and any Bluetooth headphones, and ships with a USB-A to USB-C charging cable
