What happened when we used it
By the ShopEssentialsHub team
We really love this thing. We got the Twelve South AirFly SE so we could use our AirPods with the airplane screen instead of dealing with those terrible wired headphones they hand out. It works with any 3.5mm aux jack, so we also use it at the gym and with our older TV at home.
Super easy to use. No app, no complicated setup. You just turn it on, press the button, and it connects to your headphones in seconds. We were honestly surprised how simple it was. The connection stays stable the entire flight, no cutting out, no dropouts, just solid audio the whole time. Sound comes through clear with no noticeable delay, which was our biggest concern before buying it.
Battery life is crazy good. We get over 20 hours on a single charge, so we never worry about it dying mid-flight. It charges with USB-C and you can even use it while it is charging. The little volume buttons on the side are nice too for quick adjustments.
The build feels solid, durable, and stable. It plugs into the aux jack snugly and does not wiggle or come loose, even when we bump into the seat in front. We have been tossing it around in a travel bag for months and it still works perfectly. It is tiny, barely bigger than a USB stick, and comes with a little pouch so it is easy to keep track of. For the price, this is great value. We use it way more than we expected. Flights, gym, TV, older audio stuff. It just works. One of those things we wish we got sooner.
This is the one we’d buy again.
