Twelve South, an innovative Apple accessories designer, today reveals the AirFly Pro 2 – an upgraded version of its best-selling AirFly Bluetooth audio adapter with improved features including better sound, intuitive controls, easier pairing, longer battery life and more.
Twelve South’s AirFly range is renowned worldwide for enabling the seamless pairing of wireless headphones with legacy audio jacks, commonly found on in-flight entertainment, gym equipment and older physical media players. The AirFly Pro 2 allows users to enjoy the superior sound of wireless headphones and speakers with devices that lack Bluetooth functionality.
Since its launch in 2018, Twelve South’s AirFly we reviewed has become a jet setter’s cabin baggage essential, allowing users to enjoy in-flight entertainment with the immersive sound of their own wireless earbuds or headphones, rather than low quality, wired airline headsets. We also checked out the lite version.
The new AirFly Pro 2 elevates this experience by keeping some of AirFly’s best bits and combining with new innovative features:
- Effortless Bluetooth pairing thanks to dedicated pairing buttons and intuitive physical controls. Pair 1 and Pair 2 buttons make connecting one or two headphones effortless (new)
- Connect one or two sets of headphones for shared listening – no splitters, no wires
- With aptX™ support, it delivers high-quality audio with incredible clarity and depth (new)
- Quick access volume and mute control buttons allow sound to be adjusted instantly (new)
- Over 25 hours battery life on a single charge plus a clear battery indicator light (new)
- Can be used as an AUX-IN adaptor for connecting phones to vehicles without sharing data (ideal for rental/courtesy cars)
- Stylish travel bag and USB-C cable included for charging (new – previously the travel pouch was only AirFly Pro Deluxe models)
In addition to being a travel companion, AirFly Pro 2 is a staple for gym goers allowing fitness fanatics to connect their own headphones to treadmills, exercise bikes and other equipment for more immersive soundtracks and guided workouts.
Those with older media players including turntables, portable cassette players and TVs can also use AirFly Pro 2 to connect wireless headphones, speakers and soundbars, breathing a new lease of life into retro devices.
The second-generation model retains the classic AirFly design users know and love. Initially launching in white, the Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 will be available in additional colours, including blue and black, later this year.
AirFly Pro 2 is available now for £59.99 from www.twelvesouth.co.uk. It will also be available from Amazon UK early April and from Apple in June.
