We’re excited to dive into the world of wireless audio with the Twelve South AirFly Pro. This compact device transforms any 3.5mm audio jack into a Bluetooth transmitter or receiver, making it perfect for travel, workouts, or home use. With an impressive battery life and high-quality sound, the AirFly Pro is designed for seamless listening. Let’s explore its features and see how it enhances our audio experience!
AirFly Pro Bluetooth Audio Transmitter/Receiver
We’re excited to introduce the Twelve South AirFly Pro, an innovative Bluetooth wireless audio transmitter and receiver that brings a new level of convenience to our listening experience. Whether we’re on a long flight, at the gym, or enjoying a movie night at home, this sleek device allows us to wirelessly transmit audio from any 3.5mm audio jack. Say goodbye to tangled cords and hello to the freedom of wireless sound with our favorite AirPods, earbuds, or wireless headphones!
One of the standout features of the AirFly Pro is its impressive battery life. With over 25 hours of playtime, we can confidently use it throughout our longest journeys without worrying about recharging. And if we ever find ourselves running low on battery, the AirFly Pro can be used while charging with the included cable, ensuring we’re never without the audio we love. This is especially handy for those extended flights where in-flight entertainment is a must!
What truly sets the AirFly Pro apart is its dual functionality. Not only does it transmit audio wirelessly, but it also receives audio, allowing us to connect non-Bluetooth devices like wired speakers or soundbars to our Bluetooth-enabled devices. Imagine transforming our living room sound system or rental car’s audio setup with ease! With advanced Bluetooth 5.0 and support for high-quality audio codecs like aptX Low Latency, we can enjoy immersive sound that enhances our listening experience, whether we’re gaming or watching our favorite shows.
In addition to all these features, the AirFly Pro comes with a handy travel pouch, keychain holder, and a quick start guide, making it easy for us to take it wherever we go. Just a quick tip: when pairing our AirPods, we need to ensure they’re inside the case to enter pairing mode and turn off nearby Bluetooth devices, like our phones, for a smooth connection. With the Twelve South AirFly Pro, we have everything we need for a seamless audio experience on the go!
Our Review of the Twelve South AirFly Pro
As frequent travelers and audio enthusiasts, we were excited to try out the Twelve South AirFly Pro. This handy little device promises to bridge the gap between our beloved wireless headphones and the traditional audio systems we encounter during our travels, particularly on airplanes. After putting it through its paces, we’re happy to share our thoughts.
Versatile Functionality
One of the standout features of the AirFly Pro is its dual functionality as both a transmitter and a receiver. This means we can connect our AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones to any device with a headphone jack, be it airplane entertainment systems, gym equipment, or even older stereo systems at home. On top of that, we can also use it to turn wired speakers or car stereos into Bluetooth-compatible devices. This versatility makes it an essential addition to our travel kit, allowing us to enjoy our favorite tunes or movies without the hassle of wires.
Pros:
- Connects to various devices with a headphone jack
- Converts wired speakers into Bluetooth receivers
- Supports dual headphone connectivity for sharing
Easy to Use and Portable
The AirFly Pro is incredibly compact and lightweight, making it easy to toss into our carry-on or even our pockets. It comes with a handy keychain attachment, so we never have to worry about misplacing it during our travels. We found that connecting it was mostly straightforward—just plug it into the device and pair it with our headphones. However, we did experience a minor hiccup during the initial pairing process where we had to reconnect our headphones a couple of times before it finally worked seamlessly.
Tips:
- Make sure to turn off Bluetooth on paired devices before attempting to connect.
- Keep the AirFly Pro in a secure pocket or pouch to avoid accidental disconnections.
Impressive Battery Life
When it comes to battery life, the AirFly Pro does not disappoint. We appreciated the up to 16 hours of usage on a single charge, which is more than sufficient for long-haul flights. We did notice, however, that it could drain faster during extended use, such as in the gym. While it does come with a USB-C charging port, we found that charging while in use could produce some interference, particularly on airplanes, which is something to keep in mind.
Things to Consider:
- While charging, avoid using it to prevent buzzing sounds in the audio.
- Plan for a recharge if you know you’ll be using it for an extended period.
Quality Audio Performance
In terms of audio quality, we were pleased with the performance of the AirFly Pro. The connection was stable, and there was minimal lag between audio and video, making it a great companion for in-flight movies. However, we did notice a slight audio lag with older in-flight entertainment systems, which might be an issue for those who are particularly sensitive to synchronization. Despite this, the clarity and richness of the sound made our listening experience enjoyable.
Pros:
- Clear audio with minimal lag
- Dual headphone support enhances shared experiences
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Twelve South AirFly Pro is a fantastic accessory for anyone looking to use their wireless headphones with traditional audio systems, especially while traveling. Its versatile functionality, impressive battery life, and compact design make it a must-have for frequent flyers and audio lovers alike. While the initial pairing process might require a bit of patience and there is a minor audio lag to consider, the convenience and overall performance make it a worthy investment for enhancing our audio experience on the go.
