Avantree Relay – Premium Airplane Bluetooth 5.3 Adapte...

AirPods are fantastic at noise reduction (I have AirPod Pro 2nd Gen), and planes are super-noisy – especially if you end up near the engines. Last year I was on a flight and struggled to hear the movies over the engine noise with the supplied $0.50 earbuds they hand out. I had my AirPods with me, and for about half the flight I just sat quietly with my AirPods in, canceling out all that engine noise. I thought – “I wish I could use my air-pods to listen to the movie”. While sharing this thought with a friend a few weeks later, he said – “you can” – and this is the answer.It is pretty easy to pair AirPods with this devices. Apparently you can pair two sets – I didn’t try that.Getting it to work is just a little bit glitchy (hence only 1 star) – sometimes sound only comes out of one pod, and sometimes switching the relay off and on fixes that, sometimes the working pod needs to be returned to the case, and the relay switch off and on. Usually it takes a moment of futzing to get both pods working correctly – and then it just wqorks.On our last trip I enjoyed the in-flight movies soooo much more thanks to this little gadget. I wish it was less fiddly, but I don’t fly all that often. This is definitely a keeper.
