A comment on a video from a few weeks back said that it's great that you go into details that others don't. I just want to echo that sentiment, seen this device pop up on a few onebag related travel channels but nobody has mentioned if it has lag or not. Thanks for going into so much detail about that. Will be picking one of these up soon.
Hey thanks! Yeah, lag was only on the gym television, but I searched the Amazon reviews to see if anyone else had that issue. I think one person had it on an airplane TV, the rest were other random devices. I was wondering if maybe it had to do with the distance, like the airplane TV is right in front of you, but the gym TV is like 30 feet away on the ceiling, so the sound has to travel further? 🤷♀️
there are many such gadgets, and having one at your home is almost always great. connecting the TV to my bluetooth was my primary use. I was able to change the tv settings to minimize the lag
Ugreen also make this. Its a lot smaller and three times cheaper, also has the same features. Which is also a transmitter and receiver and you can also pair two sets of headphones as standard. Maybe higher quality though unsure.
Have you tried that one? If it works as well it would be a great deal. Reviews show mixed results, if I have time I'd like to compare it to the Airfly.
How does it work on airplanes with the dual 3.5mm outlet? Do you only get the left or right channel when you’re plugged in? I seen recently they have the pro deluxe model that comes with the additional adapter now, but I’m curious if you need it?
I haven't seen a dual audio input in awhile so I looked up who is still using them. The Reddit post below has mixed results, seems to be mostly a regional thing now, like they're basically non existant on US, European airlines, but SEA and Middle East it's more common to see them? I flew to Jordan in the last fall and I don't remember seeing those. So not sure if it's based on the age of the plane or the airline? Either way, I guess you'd have to get one of those headphone adapter plugs. reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/10p0fpj/eli5_why_do_most_airlines_still_use_2pin_audio/
You'd only get it coming out of one earpiece yes but I've not seen them used in years and you could always just use an adapter with it. Same adapter you'd use with wired headphones.
Some airlines seem to use Headphones with two 3.5 mm jacks, perhaps a left channel and right channel. Does the device work with these connections? Also, some audio ports are only line in, or line out. Others have a different configuration for speakers and microphone. Which type of jacks does the Airfly work with please?
It has a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. I haven't seen one of those double input jacks in years but it seems there are still some floating around, seems more common in the middle east and parts of Asia. If you got one of those you'd have to use an adapter.
@@OneBagTravelslot of European airlines use them as well. And just a pair of wired in ears that are not the cheap ones from the airplane would do the trick as well. No?
@@OneBagTravels fair enough. But for it's price you could also add a decent, always working, no frills wired pair? A pair of decent in ear monitors. Add in an airplane adapter and USB c adapter and you can use them everywhere.
No, it plugs into the aux port of whatever you want to watch/listen to. So two people can listen to one thing, but two people can't listen to two different things unfortunately.
If you are looking to buy this product to use on your TV, you might be able to fix the lag by adjusting your 'delay' on your TV Audio Settings. I may purchase this item and try for myself. Great idea that it can split the audio to two different headphones.
ALSO It says it's bluetooth 5.0 version but tells us to use 5.2 devices for no latency . Hmm. Does not make sense at all Tech Specs - Bluetooth 5.0, Audio Codecs: aptX Low Latency, aptX and SBC audio. Battery Life: 25+ hours Included - AirFly Pro, USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick start guide, manual NOTES: AirPods must be INSIDE AirPod Case to enter pairing mode and we recommend turning off nearby bluetooth devices like your phone when pairing on planes. AirFly features industry leading Bluetooth with aptX Low Latency Codecs. If you are experiencing anything less than high quality audio, first check the audio source. Regarding latency, ensure your device supports Bluetooth 5.2
Yes, pairing must take place in the case. I'm not sure about the latency thing, I thought bluetooth was backwards compatible but I'm no bluetooth expert.
@@OneBagTravels I'm just wondering, we are in 2024 and bluetooth has been here from more than 10 years and yet we don't have bluetooth latency free technology. This is just a shame. These bluetooth does not make any sense when you are trying to watch movies because lip sync will be out. Don't know why people don't make it such a big deal. Anyway, thanks for the quick reply.
Do you know why? The H95s are Bluetooth 5.1 and Airfly Pro is 5.0, isn't Bluetooth backwards compatible? If not did you find a transmitter that worked with your headphones?
@@OneBagTravels Hi. No, this is not about a Bluetooth. Most likely this is about a codec. I have ordered Avantree Relay - Premium Airplane Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter for All Headphones and it supports aptX codecs. I’ll let you know if it works

@@OneBagTravels I doubt it's the distance, most likely its crappy gym equipment. It would be worth testing with a wired pair of headphones to compare.
@@jamesm6830 Good idea
Real tip is to fly so cheap that you never get in-flight entertainment
Lolz 😆
It's usually free on long flights.
😅😅😅

That's good info to know, what setting worked to minimize the lag? Did you experience lag with any other device other than your TV?

Great review. How do you recharge the battery? Or, do you have to replace it?
It has a USB-C charger in the bottom, so just plug it in. I should have mentioned that in the video

@@DaemonViews Yeah you can use wired earphones, this thing is for if you only have wireless.
@@OneBagTravels fair enough. But for it's price you could also add a decent, always working, no frills wired pair?

How is the connectability to AirPods Pro 2, any pairing issues?
I only have the Google Pods, but maybe someone else has tried those?
Hi. Thanks for the informative video. Maybe a stupid question: Can you use this on a plane for two people watching different things?
No, it plugs into the aux port of whatever you want to watch/listen to. So two people can listen to one thing, but two people can't listen to two different things unfortunately.
@@OneBagTravels Thanks!
A very concise review and demo. Best yet.
Thanks!
is there a way to screen phone on the airplane tv
Not that I know of but that would be awesome
Solid review and will be buying one. Thank YOU!
Nice, hope you like it!
@@OneBagTravels went with the black one!

That would be good to know, I haven't tried that.
Would this work for the steam deck? AirPod pros do not connect to it and they’re the only earphones that actually fit in my ears lol.
If it's got an aux cord and Bluetooth it should work. I don't have a steam deck to test but maybe someone reading this can test it out.
i have the duo and i love it
Nicceee
Sounds like a very handy device.
There are lots on the market. I think this gets all the attention as it has Air in the name.
Can store data in this device?or just a media between mobile to tv
No, it just transfers media via bluetooth.

@@SagunManandhar I concur, bluetooth technology should be much better than it is at this point.
NO GOOD FOR ME. since you said there is small amount of lag for TVs. Thanks for the video !!
It seems to be a distance thing more than a TV thing if that makes a difference.
You are a class vguy thanks good video.
It's an airfly not a airfly!
I said "this is the airfly" but with abnormally bad pronouncation.
IMPORTANT This product AirFly Pro does not work with all headsets (H95 for example). Do not buy it
Do you know why? The H95s are Bluetooth 5.1 and Airfly Pro is 5.0, isn't Bluetooth backwards compatible? If not did you find a transmitter that worked with your headphones?

Hi. No, this is not about a Bluetooth. Most likely this is about a codec. I have ordered Avantree Relay - Premium Airplane Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter for All Headphones and it supports aptX codecs. I’ll let you know if it works
Avantree Wireless Audio Transmitter is woking! And yes there is a problem with the codec with AirFly
