No headphones are as bad as the flimsy wired headphones they give you on an international flight. I usually bring my AirPods Pro so I can listen to music or watch something on my tablet. But sometimes I want to take advantage of the in-flight entertainment. You can find blockbuster films or popular TV shows on in-flight entertainment, but I often need to use it because my devices are dead.
When I have to use the in-flight headphones, the experience is terrible. They are tinny and let outside sounds bleed in, making it hard to hear anything over the loud engine noise and crying babies. But there is a solution – the AirFly Pro.
The AirFly Pro from Twelve South is currently on sale for $42 on Amazon’s Prime Day sale. It is a simple dongle that you can connect to the 3.5mm headphone jack on your flight to listen to in-flight entertainment on your Bluetooth headphones. Just pair the AirFly Pro with your Bluetooth headphones, plug it into the display in front of you, and you’re good to go. It lasts for over 25 hours and can fully charge in three hours.
You can even pair two separate headphones to a single AirFly Pro, perfect for watching a movie with a travel buddy. If your flight has a dual-plug headphone jack, Twelve South also offers the AirFly Pro Deluxe for $65, which includes an adapter and travel pouch. Additionally, the AirFly Pro can be used as an audio transmitter to turn any speaker with a headphone jack into a Bluetooth speaker.
For frequent flyers like me, the AirFly Pro has become an essential travel accessory, alongside my Anker MagSafe battery pack. Don’t suffer through in-flight entertainment with terrible headphones – upgrade your travel experience with the AirFly Pro before the Prime Day deal ends.
