Traveling is a tapestry of highs and lows, with plenty to say about both. Take it from someone who clocks in at 6 feet 4 inches – I’m that guy you’re probably reclining your seat into.
On one particular journey, I ended up next to a parent. As someone who’s no stranger to the skies, I totally get the struggle of keeping kids entertained on the long haul. I can barely sit still myself.
This time, though, said parent decided to throw an impromptu “Mr. Wiggles” marathon. Nothing personal against the show, but “Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy” on a loop in the confines of an aircraft is a special kind of torment.
Armed with the best noise-canceling headphones, I thought I was prepared. But nope, my neighbor’s entertainment source didn’t support them, sending my audio oasis into a tailspin. There I was, six hours of flight time, headphone jack tragically idle.
That’s when the true value of something like the AirFly SE Bluetooth Transmitter by Twelve South hit me.

Had my seatmate had it, I could have easily plugged it into their phone’s headphone jack and paired it with a set of wireless headphones.
That way, his child could have continued watching “Mr. Wiggles,” and the rest of us could have enjoyed our in-flight experience in peace. But hey, it doesn’t always work like that, right?
So, what exactly is the AirFly Bluetooth transmitter?
Imagine this: You’re on a long-haul flight, and the in-flight movie is about to start. You reach for your wireless headphones, but alas, the airplane only has a 3.5mm audio jack.
Well, this is where AirFly makes comes into the picture. This tiny device plugs into any headphone jack and wirelessly transmits audio to your headphones. That’s really it. And sure, it doesn’t sound like much, but when you really need it, it’s an absolute godsend.
AirFly really proves its worth when you’re stuck on the tarmac and the person next to you thinks they’re the star of a “Mr. Wiggles” concert. It’s your ticket out of cord-city and away from those pricey, ear-pinching airline headphones.
AirFly is not just for flights, though. You can also use it at the gym on any equipment with an audio jack. Picture yourself running on the treadmill, knee-deep in your favorite show, with your wireless headphones providing the soundtrack. No cords to get in your way or limit your movement.
