Relay – Airplane Bluetooth Adapter for 2 AirPods or Headphones | Future-Proof Firmware Upgradable, Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, 25H Battery, 3.5mm AUX Transmitter for Flight Travel & Gym

Why did I buy this product? Because I make international flights on a regular basis. For travel, noise canceling headphones are a must-have, but most are now bluetooth. Unfortunately, most cattle class seats have infotainment systems that only provide mini-jack outputs. Enter this device as the perfect solution! At least in my opinion. This device allows me to plug-in to the output jack on an aircraft without the inconvenience of wires. It has several domestic uses, specifically provided a bluetooth interface to older audio equipment, PC's that don't have bluetooth, and (some) tablets. Does it work? Yes, no reservations. Fully charged, the battery was only 50% drained at the end of a 10 hour flight to London from Phoenix, AZ. I used this device in conjunction with my iPad mini, the aircraft infotainment system and even my PC at home. Binding was fast and effortless. Recommend you read the instructions because although binding and unbinding is easy (and works) the unit itself has a minimum of controls and you need to know what you're doing! I really can't speak to quality or range, but at least up to around ten to fifteen feet it was working fine, and sound quality was excellent without drop-out or interference. Can I listen to music while the unit is attached to a charger? Yes you can. This was a worry for me, especially since I forgot to recharge before the return trip. So I attached to a USB-C power bank and absolutely no problem, throughout charging, the unit worked fine. BTW, many airlines seem to be banning the use of power banks on or onto their aircraft - just another nuisance to check on before you fly! Do I know how much power is left? Yes, there are 4 white LED's which tell you how much charge you've got on the device. The top-most illuminated LED flashes until the next level is reached or the unit is fully charged. Finally, can two people listen to the same audio? Yes, my wife and I watched a video on the plane, with both of us wearing Bose NC headphones in bluetooth mode. The unit provides two, simultaneous links so for me that was the final box ticked. Some widgets are hard to use, but this one is well thought out and easy.

This relay works great with our laptops! The instructions were concise, clear, and both sets of our ear buds were very easy to pair and use with it. We can now watch our downloaded movies on our flights with each of us having our own set of earbuds instead of having to share one set, lol. We especially appreciated how the instructions boldly point out to turn off our phone Bluetooth during pairing because that causes 90% of problems...sure enough, that instantly worked. We also like the included charging cable, plane adaptor and sturdy zippered carrying case.

OMG! This little device is awesome! Recently flew on Delta and American. This adapter worked well on the large planes. The short flight taken on a smaller, commuter plane didn't offer seatback entertainment. It was so old, Wi-Fi was absent too. Initiating the unit requires a QR code reader to access online instructions. The first synch was a little challenging, but once it was successful, all other pairing sessions were much faster. The audio transfer was wonderful. Listening to headphones without a cord made the flight more enjoyable too. Definitely worth the purchase and highly recommended!

Connectivity through my TV remote is excellent with no noticeable lag. Sound quality is excellent, battery life is also very good and can be supplemented with a USB power pack for near continuous operation. My only complaint is gain: while the volume is adequate it's barely adequate. I don't understand the gain structure to know whether it can be increased and my hearing acuity might be a part of the problem others might not have. All that said it does what it's supposed to do, lets me watch TV without bothering my wife, and I would happily buy it again.

Works like a charm. Very slight latency so not ideal for gaming. But for watching movies on a plane via your bluetooth head set, it's perfect. Easily pairs with my Bose Quiet Comfort and Powerbeats Pro 2.

Worked great and very easy to use. The sound Quality and value were good. Used on a Delta flight. Longer range hasn’t been tested yet.

I recently tried this adapter out on a multi-flight international trip with my AirPods Pro. The size and build quality are good and I found no issues with battery life, it seems to last forever. It is easy to just keep in a pocket and grab it when needed. I had no issues getting my AirPods to pair with the adapter which worked on the first try and they quickly connect every time it is turned on. So far, so good, until I started using it on long flights. About half way through watching a movie, I began to get badly distorted sound in just my left ear. At first I thought maybe my AirPod was failing in that ear. Just in case I tried turning the adapter off and back on, the distortion went away and I could hear regular stereo audio again, but now with a bad echo in both ears. I eventually had to put my AirPods back in their case, turn off the adapter and then start all over again, basically reseting everything and that fixed the issue. I hoped that was a one time glitch and felt better when that was the only time I had that issue on that flight but went on to experience the same type of issue when using it again on other flights. It is thankfully not a constant issue and can be resolved to provide at least a few hours of trouble free use, but it is still nuisance that needs to be fixed.

This thing was amazing! I bought this one for me and a more expensive brand for my dad to take on a recent trip to Europe. This one was definitely the winner! The connection was perfect. The other one had interference and this one had none. Quick to charge. I do recommend looking up the connection instructions before getting on the plane, as it took me awhile to figure things out.

Der Adapter kam sehr gut verpackt an. Die Einrichtung und die Verbindung mit den Kopfhörern ging sehr fix. Zudem ist die Anleitung auch verständlich. Im Flugzeug konnten wir den Adapter testen. Ergebnis einfach sehr gut. Akku hält lange, Übertragung ohne Verzögerung und in guter Qualität. Das verbinden weiterer Kopfhörer auch einfach. Zudem kann man zwei Kopfhörer sogar gleichzeitig nutzen. Für den Preis super. Vor allem kann man es ja auch außerhalb vom Flugzeug nutzen. Definitiv klare Kaufempfehlung

Bought it for a recent long airplane ride from Dubai to Canada. Was Flying on ITA Airways. Didn't need to use because ITA allows direct bluetooth connection, but I tested it on my laptop and it worked as stated. Only problem is trying to remember the directions to connect/pair since I don't use it very often.

Funcionó justo como esperaba, no duden en comprar el artículo.

I picked up the Avantree Relay mainly for use on flights, and it’s been very reliable so far. Setup is simple and quick, pairing easily with my Bluetooth headphones. Once connected, the audio has been stable with no noticeable dropouts or lag, even during long flights. Sound quality is very good for a Bluetooth adapter, and it works well for movies, TV shows, and general audio without sync issues. The adapter itself is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in hand luggage or a pocket. Battery life has been more than sufficient for long journeys, and I’ve been able to use it across multiple flights without needing to recharge in between. Build quality feels solid, and the physical controls are easy to use without needing to look at the device. It also works well beyond flights — I’ve used it with gym equipment and other non‑Bluetooth audio sources with consistent results. Overall, this is a well‑designed, dependable Bluetooth adapter that does exactly what it’s meant to do. A great option if you want wireless headphones to work properly with airplane entertainment systems or other wired audio sources.

muy buena compra, justo lo que necesitaba.
