Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Audio Transmitter/Receiver

The Twelve South AirFly Pro turns any device with a 3.5mm jack into a wireless audio source so you can use AirPods or Bluetooth headphones without cords.

Compact and purpose-built for travel, gym, and shared entertainment systems, the AirFly Pro acts as a bridge between legacy audio outputs and modern wireless earbuds. It works as a transmitter to send audio from planes, in-room TVs, treadmills, gaming controllers and other 3.5mm-equipped equipment to one or two sets of Bluetooth headphones. It also functions as a receiver in environments where you want to play phone audio through wired speakers. With long battery life, low-latency codecs, and simple pairing, the AirFly Pro is designed to remove the annoyance of cables while preserving sound quality.

How does the AirFly Pro let me use AirPods on a plane or gym equipment?

The AirFly Pro pairs to your AirPods or Bluetooth headphones and plugs into the device’s 3.5mm jack, transmitting audio wirelessly. It supports two simultaneous connections so you can share audio with a friend.

• Plugs into standard 3.5mm headphone jacks found on planes and machines
• Pairs with up to two Bluetooth headsets at once
• Supports aptX Low Latency, aptX and SBC for tighter audio synchronization
• Works while charging so long trips won’t interrupt playback

What battery life and range can I expect from the AirFly Pro?

The device provides extended runtime and a dependable wireless range for typical use. It’s built to last through long flights and extended workout sessions without frequent recharging.

• Over 25 hours of playback on a single charge
• Usable while charging via the included USB cable
• Bluetooth range up to approximately 10 meters (33 feet)
• Low-battery notifications and simple battery management

Will audio quality and latency meet gaming and movie needs?

AirFly Pro uses modern Bluetooth versions and codecs to prioritize audio fidelity and reduce lag, but final results depend on both source and headset capabilities. For minimal delay, use headsets and source devices that support compatible low-latency standards.

• Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX Low Latency for reduced sync issues
• Also supports aptX and SBC codecs for broad compatibility
• Performance varies by source device and headset codec support
• Tip: disable nearby Bluetooth devices and keep AirPods in their case for pairing on planes

How simple is setup and everyday use?

Setup is intentionally straightforward: plug, pair, and play. The AirFly Pro uses a familiar pairing process, visible indicators, and an uncomplicated physical design so you can get audio running quickly in travel or home scenarios.

• One-button pairing and clear LED status signals
• Works as a transmitter (3.5mm out to Bluetooth) or receiver (Bluetooth in to 3.5mm)
• Compact shape that fits in pockets, bags, or an airline seat pocket
• Includes essential cable; no extra accessories needed for common use cases

Who is this for: The Twelve South AirFly Pro suits frequent flyers, gym-goers, gamers, and households that need to modernize older audio equipment for wireless headphones. It’s ideal for anyone who wants the convenience of AirPods or Bluetooth headphones with devices that lack native Bluetooth support, or for pairs who want to share audio without swapping cables. Avoid if you rely on legacy headsets only or if your devices already offer built-in Bluetooth transmitting with your preferred codec.
