    The Airfly worked to pair my Bose headphones however that wasn’t the original intent when I purchased it. The original pairing was supposed to be my AirPods which it never did end up pairing to.

    The Twelve South AirFly Transmitter does exactly what it says it is supposed to do without any frills. This is kind of nice in a day when so many things throw in bells and whistles that are not executed well and sometimes you wonder why a company decided to include a 'feature' at all. The AirFly Transmitter comes nicely packaged and the transmitter around the size of a key fob for your car. It is made of a quality hard plastic shell and comes with a soft fabric carrying pouch that will hold the transmitter, the micro USB cable, and the aux audio cable. It's small size and carrying pouch make it ideal to carry with me while traveling. In fact, it will fit inside my Sony WH-1000XM2 carrying case so that's one less thing I have to worry about accidentally leaving behind. Even though these headphones have the ability to connect directly via wires, it can get cumbersome when you have a tray table with food/drink, blanket, cell phone charging cable, etc. and you are trying to not accidentally yank cables out of their ports. There were no lag issues that I noticed while on the plane. Volume was also fine on the two flights that I tested this on. However, I think this will also depend on the specific plane and In Flight Entertainment setup/equipment being used. When I tested this on my work desktop running Windows 10, it performed just as expected which allowed me to listen to YouTube videos or TV in the background while continuing my productivity. I found the audio quality to be fine, but I wasn't listening to anything of substantially high quality. I don't really think that is the purpose of this product. Battery life is approximately 8 hour which gets me through most of my flying days and work days. The AirFly is easily and pretty quickly charged via the micro USB cable. One thing that may cause some issues... Since the AirFly Transmitter has no screen which would allow you to select a specific device to pair to, trying to pair in an environment with lots of Bluetooth devices jockeying for attention may prove difficult. Think of an airplane with 2-300 other passengers all trying to connect to their various devices... This could prove especially difficult if the AirFly favors one device over another and you don't have the ability to turn that device off. If you're at home, you can determine which device is causing the problem and eliminate it from the equation. Other than that obvious potential problem, I think the AirFly Transmitter solves a real problem and at a pretty reasonable price and I would recommend it for anyone looking to eliminate a set of wires from their audio listening experience. -Pros: *Price *Size *Simplicity *Build Quality -Cons: *Possible connection difficulty in crowded Bluetooth environment

    The airline & airplane industry can't keep up with Apple's technology so in order to use Apple's AirPods (or any bluetooth headphone devise) this adapter works perfectly on the planes with the seat-back video entertainment system. Of course, if you are plugging in the newer versions of Apple wired headphone/earbuds, you'll also need an adapter because the plugs are the older standard "female" type that don't work with Apple stuff.

    (I received this product in return for my fair and unbiased review.) TL;DR - The Twelve South Airfly Bluetooth audio transmitter is better suited for transmitting audio from your TV, stereo, computer, or other device that either lacks Bluetooth connectivity or has poor Bluetooth connectivity for audio. Audio is crisp and clear - especially with AptX-enabled headphones, earbuds, and speakers - and lacks perceivable auidio lag as compared to many smartphones. While audio quality with lossless formats (CD audio, DVD audio, SuperCD, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS HD) isn't as clear as with a wired connection, the audio quality with lossy formats (MP3, AAC, and streaming music formats) is indistinguishable between a direct connection to your device and a Bluetooth connection using the Airfly. The lack of audio lag makes this a good option for connecting to your TV so you don't bother others while watching at higher volumes or playing games. The only negatives are you manually need to turn the device on and off when you want to use it and finish using it and I feel like Twelve South is missing out on a bigger niche market to go after than just the crowd wanting to add Bluetooth to portable audio devices lacking Bluetooth. Packaging, pack-in goodies, and initial feel: The device is packaged nicely and comes with a 3" micro USB cable. 3" headphone jack to headphone jack cable, and a velour cinch sack to carry the device with you. The unit isn't very heavy at all and its size matches up nicely with small MP3 players (Apple iPod Nano, Sandisk Sansa, Microsoft Zune, and the various other small players available over the years. Note that while the cinch sack will fit a small (iPod Mini, iPod Nano, Sandisk Sanza) or micro (iPod Shuffle) MP3 player, it won't fit a standard-sized player (iPod Classic, Zune). Performance: Pairing headphones and speakers is easy - just press and hold the power button until it starts flashing at you, then put your device you want to listen to audio on into pairing mode. I paired mine with both a pair of JBL Everest 310s and a Bose Soundwear personal speaker. Worked great with both devices. I attached the Airfly to my iPhone 6s and played several games where audio sync can make a difference on how you play. It worked great at everything I threw at it, just like if it were played through headphones either connected via the headphone port or Bluetooth. I followed this up with attaching it to a Digiland Android tablet. It performend like it should, no audio lag in games. My next test was with a Windows 10 computer. In the various games I play, I had no issues with auidio lag caused by the Airfly. Even playing Guitar Hero in the Dolphin Emulator was a treat, as the game worked perfectly and sounded perfect. Finally, I attached it to the headphone dongle for my Nintendo GameBoy SP. The longtime dream for GameBoy owners who want wireless headphones is achieved with this device. Again, flawless performance. No matter the audio source, it all sounded great. While lossless wasn't as good as a wired pair of headphones would be, you still get AptX-quality audio. Now for my gripes: First, this works better as a way to attach headphones to your TV set, computer, or home audio system. It's not as convenient to carry around with a MP3 player or other portable audio device, though it's small size does help. Second, what would be neat is if this thing could be plugged into a TV's USB port and set to power up and power down autiomatically with a device like a TV or computer. Instead, you have to manually power it up and down when you want to use it, and I could n't get it to charge and operate at the same time. Otherwise, I like the Airfly. Twelve South got almost everything right in my book.
