You definitely need the AirFly for your next flight
No headset is as bad as those flimsy wired headphones you get on an international flight.
Normally I don’t have a problem with this, since I always bring my AirPods Pro so I can listen to music from my phone or watch something I downloaded on my tablet. But sometimes I really want to take advantage of the in-flight entertainment.
You can always find recently released blockbuster movies on in-flight entertainment, or popular TV shows that are only available on paid streaming services. But most of the time I want to use the in-flight entertainment because my devices are dead.

And then I’m forced to use the worst headphones you’ve ever seen because my Bluetooth headphones won’t connect to the in-seat display. And I have to use these headphones in an environment that’s already hard to listen in. I’m dealing with loud engines and crying babies, and the airplane headphones are tinny and let all outside noise through so you can barely hear anything.
That’s where the AirFly Pro comes in.
The AirFly-Pro by Twelve South is a minimalistic designed dongle that you can plug into the 3.5mm headphone jack during your flight, allowing you to listen to in-flight entertainment through your personal Bluetooth headphones.
All you have to do is pair AirFly Pro with your Bluetooth headphones, like AirPods Pro or Bose QuietComfort, connect AirFly Pro to the screen in front of you — and you’re good to go. You don’t even have to use your phone to connect the two devices.
If you’re concerned about battery life, the AirFly Pro gives you over 25 hours of battery life, and can be fully charged in three hours.
You can also pair two separate sets of headphones to a single AirFly Pro, in case you’re on a flight with someone else and want to watch the same movie or show. If you’re on an international flight with that weird dual-plug headphone jack, Twelve South also sells the AirFly Pro Deluxewhich comes with an adapter and a suede travel pouch for $65.
And if that wasn’t enough, the AirFly Pro also functions as an audio transmitter. So you can turn any speaker with a headphone jack, like your old car radio, into a Bluetooth speaker.
