[@lorimann1975]

I use mine with AirPods pros with no problem!! I. love this thing!!!!

[@djpgreek]

I see there is an SE version with volume control. Do these work as well?

[@raenakali]

Can the AirFly Pro Duo connect to a set of AirPod Pro and Bose wireless QC ultra at the same time? My guess is yes, but......

[@josephjoe9088]

I have a van with no bluetooth capabi;ities. can I use this to connect my iPad or iPhone so I can play music off mt device through the van speakers? I have very great spreaker systens and I eant the grandkids to have fun. Thanks a lot

[@AlternativeKava]

i feel like on most of these transmitters theres a gate feature usually built into them, making the sound cut out whenever its below a certain volume threshold. Does that happen with these?

[@MarkUnique]

Is there a device that will transmit AAC codec?

[@thomasmccaffrey-ek4hf]

Will it work with Bluetooth hearing aids

[@sidneypluascoloma]

Hola cómo estás saludos desde Ecuador.. ayúdame con algo por favor compre el airfly dúo pero no lo puedo emparejar con mi iPhone.

[@FrogberryStudio]

Love it when you said airfly pro connected 🤣😂😂🎉

[@DJRatchet1]

lmfao what he say?!

[@hurbanzisnoob2130]

Hi, does it automatically connect if both devices are in pairing mode? I don't know how to connect my airpods to the airfly cause there's no screen 😂😂

[@thawneflash781]

Do you know if it works with Sennheiser earbuds? love the vid keep it up!

[@ZachusTravel]

Yeah any Bluetooth headphones and earbuds will work

[@joelbastian5741]

Hey thanks for the video man! Did you find any sync issues with the audio you hear and the video you see using this? Or was it spot on : )

[@ZachusTravel]

I've used this a lot and never had any issues.

[@user-bl9dd7tf2t]

Thank you for the video. I work with a mac that have restrictions that cant let me use bluetooth so i use only wired headphones. Would this be helpful to let me use my bluetooth headphones?

[@ZachusTravel]

If your Mac has a headphones jack then 👍 yes

[@mguimaraes84]

I haven't seen this addressed anywhere, but I assume this will work with my Kirkland Hearing Aids, which connect to my iphone via bluetooth? I liken these hearing aids to wireless headphones, but I'm not technologically savvy, so I could be wrong. I'm going on my first long haul flight and would love to be connected to the plane's entertainment system. What are your thoughts?

[@ZachusTravel]

I've heard that people have done this but especially on a long haul flight I would try to take some noise canceling headphones. You can turn them up so you can hear and you can connect them to the Bluetooth through AirFly Pro, but any Bluetooth device that’s audio such as headphones or even the earpiece should connect you just might need to connect it before you leave and make sure it works and not the day before or plenty of time before your flight so you can make other arrangements if it does not work I hope you guys have an amazing flight. Be sure and check out my videos on long-haul flights my tips for surely help you guys out. Have a great flight.

[@msommerfelt]

Can this be used with usb c adapter to share movies with a friend on newer iPads ? I know they have another model with usb c, but that wouldn’t work in the car and so on

[@ZachusTravel]

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if you can watch a movie on your iPad and share it with a friend? If yes, the iPad already does this, you can connect two headphones to it, two air pods, etc... You could try this but I do not think it would work.

[@ozkardomo17]

Does the Microphone still works? I have a laptop that the Bluetooth doesn't work, could this be useful for using my airpods for meetings using the aux port in my laptop with the airfly device?

[@ZachusTravel]

No. It only sends OR receives. It doesn't go back and forth. There's no microphone. This is what you need amzn.to/462r1Im Hope this helps

[@djaylaw8289]

Hey Zach. I'm hard of hearing. With the Avantree Orbit Pro can I listen to the TV via my BT headset while others listen via the TV built in speaker.

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes, it has this feature. It's designed to help those with hearing issues as well as people that want watch or play without everyone hearing them. amzn.to/3UPUbIr

[@DrFingers]

Can you tell me if I'd get latency using this with my Bose Qc2 earbuds. They don't use low latency codecs I'm told. The adapter probably does, but, I don't understand. What's the situation????

[@ZachusTravel]

I have these same earbuds and have used them with AirFly Pro and experienced zero issues. It's something I travel with every flight just in case. Hope this helps

[@masterplasterfireblaster4749]

Hello! Just wanted to ask if this is capable of transmitting audio from a record player to 2 bluetooth speakers at once? Thanks!

[@ZachusTravel]

It should work, it can transmit to two separate devices, normally headphones but they are just bluetooth signals so you should be good. amzn.to/3r05rpd

[@DobbitLeader.]

@@ZachusTravelhey I wanted to know if I could plug the 3.5 audio cable into a pc and have Bluetooth headphone capability’s

[@stavrosnanos1135]

How about the Bose comfort quiet 45 will the airfly Pro and the airline headphones adaptor work with my headphones I leave in Australia

[@ZachusTravel]

Yep they work great amzn.to/3x4mjhf

[@sharksbean]

I use mine with my nebula projector.

[@vh1nom]

Nice video. I have a Sony XM5, most likely will work. My question, did you experience any lags or delay in audio when watching videos on the plane?

[@ZachusTravel]

I've used it a lot in various planes with my Bose and haven't ever had an issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ligokleftis]

can you explain why this isn’t a good option for a TV? my tv has a jack that i can plug headphones into, so wouldn’t this work to connect my airpods to?

[@ZachusTravel]

Because its not really made for that. It is made more for travel, it doesn't have the ability to give you the high-quality sound you would expect watching a movie nor the distance of signal in your living room on a big TV. There are better products that do that. That is why I don't recommend this for gaming and TV. If you're on a plane, even in your car, not such a big deal, right? but when you sit down to watch a movie or TV you want good quality sound. That's why I recommend this in the video zachus.me/OrbitBluetoothTV Solid reviews, perfect for TV watching, has a long range and even 5.1 Surround Sound settings. Hope this helps

[@andersontsui5927]

the most important thing is, do i need to pair again when i turn my head back to iphone? and pair again when fly again?

[@ZachusTravel]

Nope, it's very smart. As soon as you turn on the AirFly it will connect to your head phones previously paired to it. It's very smooth and simple.

[@lxghttt]

was wondering what the difference between airfly pro and airfly pro deluxe is since apple is selling both where i’m from

[@ZachusTravel]

Deluxe includes the international airline adapter I talk about in the video and a case for both. The airfly is still just the pro version

[@prakhar.29december]

But how do I use it as a receiver? If I want it to receive the Bluetooth signals & transmit it to my speaker, where do I connect my speaker’s 3.5mm jack in this? I did not see any female 3.5mm jack on this device..

[@ZachusTravel]

It's not designed for this. You can plug it into a car and turn on the receiver mode and it will reverse the signal in to the car vs sending the audio from the car to the headphones. Reminder this was mainly designed for travel and planes ;)

[@seifeldenyaser7280]

Can i use it with PS4 by pluging it into the controller then use my Bluetooth headphones ?

[@ZachusTravel]

I talk about this inn the video 😁

[@trd7538]

Hi I have one question. Currently my iPod pro is connect to my iPhone. When i am flying I plug in the Airfly pro thru the plane entertainment system. Will it exit my iPod and connect to the plane entertainment automatically? Vice versa ?

[@ZachusTravel]

It does for me, it really is pretty seamless. It detects the audio source and then connects to your headphones. If you are playing a movie, music, podcast, etc... out of your iPad, iPod or iPhone then your Apple Air Pods will favor those devices, but as long as nothing is playing then it'll pickup the audio source which would be the AirFly Pro. I am posting a video tomorrow for ANA The Room and you'll see I use my phone, iPad and the in flight entertainment with AirFly Pro and it all is pretty seamless. Hope this helps.

[@trd7538]

@@ZachusTravel thanks 🙏

[@K.DavidWeidnerPh.D.]

I purchased this product. It will not stay syncd with my Bose Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones. I have tried to repair it and still same issue. It syncs and then 10seconds later-it disconnects. Help??

[@ZachusTravel]

I've used this for over 2 years now with my Bose Noise Canceling Headphones. I would say exchange it for another one. Sounds like it's just a bad one. Are you using the Bose app? You have to use the Bose Connect app 😉 Bose is special this way but actually is nice once you get used to it. Hope this helps. I LOVE mine, use it for every International flight

[@DarkHourEdits]

Would this work for a vinyl player to a Bluetooth speaker? That’s what I’m currently looking for

[@ZachusTravel]

It could

[@DarkHourEdits]

@@ZachusTravel thank you and great job with the review this seems to be the best portable Bluetooth transmitter/receiver on the market

[@ZachusTravel]

They did a great job with it.

[@delamhoe894]

Is there difference between the Airfly SE version and Pro?

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes, the Se is the lower end, entry model for TwelveSouth AirFly. It can only connect to 1 headphone, smaller batter, no aux in adapter. It still works but I recommend the Pro because it's not much more and you'll get the one that works the best. amzn.to/3Rv1jbv

[@user-tc8qq3yf1p]

Can this be used with AirPod (2nd Generation) - not the pro version?

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes any bluetooth headphones work even hearing aids

[@sreeanay6472]

Hi i was wonder if the sound quality would change, and other question is would they work with my apple airpods 2 gen.

[@ZachusTravel]

I haven't notice any sound issues...And yes it'll work with any Bluetooth headphones.

[@sreeanay6472]

I was thinking of getting the airfly se and I was wondering it supports airpods gen 2 @@ZachusTravel

[@_mikebishop]

Yes it does@@sreeanay6472

[@thejase1]

what do i need to pair my tv to my headset earphones by bluetooth?. I thought this gadget is what i needed but its not

[@ZachusTravel]

I talk about this in the video and links are down below the video in the description 12:00 mark or zachus.me/OrbitBluetoothTV Thanks for watching

[@gabyrios7417]

Do it work with headset and mic like for answering calls?

[@ZachusTravel]

No. It's not able to do that

[@user-em4zc2nj5n]

I listen to my music thru the car stereo but I can’t get my phone calls thru the car stereo using air fly pro .. what am I doing wrong ?

[@ZachusTravel]

It is not designed for this. It only transmits audio from a source into a wireless bluetooth signal going one way. It's designed to listen to music or movies on a plane but has been used in cars for music. It'll receive to the car or send but not both at the same time. There are devices for this such as amzn.to/49BU1ZG

[@mmmac3940]

hi there.. does all airfly models works with airpods pros?

[@ZachusTravel]

I do not know the answer to that as I've only ever used the PRO version which I recommend because it has all the features for a very small price increase.

[@voiceoverguyharris]

"airfly pro connected" haha. brilliant!

[@sueb8278]

I just bought the airfly as my other transmitter wouldn’t work with the iPod pro 2nd generation😢. I can confirm that upon following the instructions it DOES work….yeah….😅. Very important though to note, you really do need to turn off your other blue tooth device when doing the set up. You can turn it back on after you’re set up….it does note this on the instructions but sometimes overlooked.

[@ZachusTravel]

Awesome!!

[@sinchan7200]

Is there on/off? It’s connected but it continues to flash

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes, you can turn it off and should to save battery when not in use.

[@02Nawal]

I have a Samsung galaxy phone and earpods. Will I be able to use it when I fly on the airplane?

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes, any bluetooth headphones work. Your phone doesn't connect to it, just your headphones. Hope you enjoy your flight

[@02Nawal]

@ZachusTravel thank you habibi ❤️

[@vitthorn5395]

I can pair with the AirPods Pro but there is no sound. The regular AirPods (non-noise cancelling) - no problems. There is definite problem with noise cancelling function AirPods Pro.

[@ZachusTravel]

I don't know why, it's just a bluetooth connection. I've paired my pro's to it with no issues... sorry you are having trouble. Not sure what it could be

[@gabrielmarois_Climbing]

Does it work with pixel buds pro ?

[@ZachusTravel]

Yeah, any bluetooth headphones

[@adamwarlock7916]

i'm gonna use on gameboy 🤙🤙

[@itspedyluis]

Whoa that actually works?

[@Ulujmf]

Will it work with any headset bluetooth

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes, any bluetooth headset, even people with bluetooth hearing aids are telling me it worked for them.

[@eunicem1542]

Omgget to the point!

[@ZachusTravel]

What point were you looking for that took a long time to hear? Working on making these faster, smoother

[@KuGs001]

Which one is better color white or black? 🤔

[@ZachusTravel]

Great question! I went with black on mine thinking I love all my stuff to be black, but found it's easy to miss it, forget it, lose it... the white one stands out more with hers. So I will go white when I get another one but both work the same and great so you can't go wrong either way. Hope this helps.

[@irvwander8756]

Will it work with Beats ?

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes, any bluetooth headphones

[@lynng2951]

does it work with android products

[@ZachusTravel]

Yes with any Bluetooth headphones

[@PS-qb8rm]

I’ve heard it can have a tiny lag sometimes. True?

[@ZachusTravel]

I've used it a lot and never noticed this.

[@PS-qb8rm]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@ZachusTravelGreat thx. One more question, if you don’t mind. I read that this device has just a single audio plug, which means you have to use an extra adapter on planes that still have two sockets, one for the left channel and one for the right. Has that ever happened to you? Thanks again!

[@ZachusTravel]

Oh yes, I talk about this in the video. I use this amzn.to/3Sd4hle It's around 5min mark in the video

[@PS-qb8rm]

@@ZachusTravel​​⁠Thanks again! I learned that Twelve South sells an “Air Fly Pro Deluxe” which includes a soft case and matching adaptor. It’s on their site. Couldn’t find on Amazon yet.

[@ZachusTravel]

Oh yes, that's awesome! This only happen on international flights but nice to have. That's cool they are doing that now.

[@user-gi9nm8qc8x]

Why does my airrfly pro disconnect my bose headphone over and over after just a few seconds? This is driving me crazy.

[@ZachusTravel]

That's weird. I use mine with my Bose and so does she with no issues. Maybe it's bad... 🤷🏻‍♂️ Is it charged up?

[@user-gi9nm8qc8x]

idk@@ZachusTravel I put the airily into pairing. I can hear my headphone say airfly, then connected, then lost. I need it to work tomorrow for long haul flight. ARRGhh!!

[@user-gi9nm8qc8x]

Plus the light never turn solid white. This is so frustrating as I figure I am doing something stupid.

[@ZachusTravel]

It sounds like it's not charged, like it's shutting off. Apple Stores carry these if you need another one in a pinch and some Best Buys do. We have two that we've used for a while and they work great. It's either not charged or just a lemon. If it's saying connected, then it's successfully connecting. Mine say the same thing "AirFly Pro Connected" that's a good sign. Try charging it overnight.

[@nelehsims7957]

Ok, so I have a couple questions I’m hoping you can help with. 1. How do you know that someone else isn’t connecting to your air fly? 2. My kids headphones connect to a Yoto player (audio player) and because I also connected it to my iPhone it would constantly connect to the phone and wouldn’t connect to the Yoto. How would I stop this happening with the air fly?

[@ZachusTravel]

1. AirFly Pro is just like any other Bluetooth device. You can only connect to it if you control both ends. You have to put AirFly Pro into pairing mode too connect to your device which I recommend doing at home. 2. This is designed to connect to your headphones. If they are connected and ON then it'll pair. You can always turn off the AirFly Pro or headphones to disconnect. If you have two headphones paired but only want to use one. Turn ON and connect the ones you want to use with AirFly Pro and connect. Once it's connected, then turn ON your other headphones and and connect it to whatever else you want to connect to such as your phone. They should not bounce around.
