Picture this: You're ready to settle into your flight or hit the gym, but you realize you have a problem. Your Bluetooth headphones are useless since they can't connect to the seatback screen or that treadmill with the built-in TV. You're stuck with those generic airline earbuds. Ugh.
Don't worry, Twelve South has your back with its AirFly Bluetooth transmitter. It acts as a bridge between your headphones and any device with a standard headphone jack (you know, the kind your phone probably doesn't have any more and the reason you bought Bluetooth headphones).
I have been using the AirFly since the first version shipped in 2018, and it's made traveling so much more enjoyable. Using it is simple: plug it into the headphone jack, pair it with your wireless earbuds, and you're enjoying crystal-clear sound from your Bluetooth headphones.
AirFly is super compact (think smaller than an AirPods case), so it won't take up valuable bag space, and it comes with a short USB-C charging cable. Honestly, the most challenging part is remembering to bring the fully-charged device with me.

There are a few different AirFly models to choose from:
- AirFly SE ($35): Allows for one headphone connection and gets up to 20 hours of playtime. This is perfect for most solo uses.
- AirFly Duo ($45): Lets two people listen to the same source for up to 22 hours. Awesome for sharing a movie on the plane. And it comes with a carry pouch.
- AirFly Pro ($55): The most versatile, with two connections and the ability to transmit and receive audio for up to 25 hours. And it comes with a pouch and a two-prong adapter needed for some in-flight systems.
If you value convenience and great sound on the go, I highly recommend investing in an AirFly.
