Thanks for your review. Can someone else on the plane pair to my airfly pro without me knowing?? I understand that two people traveling together can pair to the device. What about a stranger??

@Zachus Жыл бұрын

No, it's a secured bluetooth connection. AirFly Pro and your headphones both have to be in a pairing mode which you should do at home, not on the plane. If you do two people, its 2 max and you have to pair them individually. You can control bluetooth connection in your iPhone or Android settings like any other bluetooth connection. Any bluetooth connection, both devices have to be in pairing mode. Hope this helps.

@Zachus - Thanks for the info but I have a rather unusual situation. I still use an iPod Classic (6th gen, which has no Bluetooth ability) which used to work in my Mazda MX-5 via USB connection. Suddenly, it stopped working though neither the iPod or my car has been updated or changed. It sounds like AirFly Pro will work to transmit FROM my iPod Classic TO my car via Bluetooth BUT with my iPod so old, the battery needs to be constantly plugged in. If I connect my iPod to my car (USB), will this override the Bluetooth capability? I don't think it will but I thought I'd ask anyway. This may be more a car question than an AirFly Pro question. Thanks for the informative review.

I want a bluetooth adapter for car use with the device continuously plugged to power. I currently have the Anker soundsync. Cons of the Anker: 1. it produces feedback when plugged to power when no music is playing. 2. It does not connect or power on automatically upon car start up (despite being plugged to power, which Anker claims should power on the device). I have to press the power button each time I enter the car and wait 5 seconds for connection. 3. Anker has cheap build quality. How does the AirFly Pro compare on these points? Thanks for the video

Here's an updated video I did on this talking more about usage in a car. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/buB2jMhy2pzelpc.htmlsi=2_LOfDT4qa2uFqkj Anything that is not built into your car will have an auto power shut off if things are not streaming through it to save the life of the device, you will always have to turn it on, in most cases, to activate it. Sorry I don't know if anything. My car has carplay and Bluetooth built in and it still takes a good 1-3 mins to connect. Unless you honk a cord directly into you phone, it's just a process.. . Sorry

Only if your laptop has a an old headphone jack. RC plug. If yes then it will work. Anything RC jack it can plug into will then transmit the audio to your Bluetooth devices.

@Zachus Жыл бұрын

It will but I don't recommend it. You are better off with these amzn.to/472gluL they are awesome and work great, made by Sony for PS and are comfortable. If you get the AirFly you have to charge it and your headphones plus have it dangling from your remote. Trust me you'll think me later 😎

What if you have a usb c wired headphone, does it work if you plug the usb c headphone into the usb c slot?

@Zachus Жыл бұрын

I'm assuming you mean using your USB cord too get audio from the screen. You can't. Those are just charging ports IF the plane even has them. That's why in most my travel videos for airlines, I recommend taking a battery pack or using Away. Newer planes are getting Bluetooth options but it'll take years for them to be on every plane.

Nice review. Thanks! But I seemed to have problem connecting it to my AirPod Pro (2nd Gen). Did you try to connect it to AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)?

I have connected my AirPod Pro, 2nd generation, and without any problems ... any Bluetooth headphones will work, I’ve used two sets of Bose, AirPod pros, as well as a Google headphones. Did you follow the instructions? If yes, maybe it is just a bad knee that you need to swap out for another one. We've had 3 for trips all work great.

I could not get this to work with my iPod pros. Any suggestions?

@Zachus Жыл бұрын

What is it doing? It's just a basic Bluetooth connection. You should be able to connect them by holding the Bluetooth button down to start scanning Hold down big button on AirFly Pro for 4-5 seconds till it starts blinking, white, and orange, which is pairing mode On airpod pro hold button on the back down for 5 to 6 seconds then the two should pair with a 90 seconds I use them with Bose. If issues continue, you need to go to your iPhone and remove the AirPod pros by going to Bluetooth in settings and click in the little eye beside your AirPods and saying forget this device and turn Bluetooth off on your phone and try to pair them with the air fly pro after this is complete you can repair them with your iPhone.

Most TVs do not have a headphone jack and this is battery operated so I don't think it would be great. What I would do is get an AppleTV and then you can connect your airpods, or any bluetooth headphones to it. zachus.me/AppleTV Hope this helps. If you don't use Apple products or iPhone then you can Amazon FireTV or Google Play FireTV: amzn.to/42CO7Vl Google: amzn.to/3lzEXbD If you use Apple stuff though like iPhone, Airpods, etc... go AppleTV, it's worth it.
