Relay – Airplane Bluetooth Adapter for AirPods, Bose & Wireless Headphones, Qualcomm Chip, aptX Adaptive & HD Audio Transmitter, 25Hrs Battery, 3.5mm AUX for Flight, Travel & Gym

Why did I buy this product? Because I make international flights on a regular basis. For travel, noise canceling headphones are a must-have, but most are now bluetooth. Unfortunately, most cattle class seats have infotainment systems that only provide mini-jack outputs. Enter this device as the perfect solution! At least in my opinion. This device allows me to plug-in to the output jack on an aircraft without the inconvenience of wires. It has several domestic uses, specifically provided a bluetooth interface to older audio equipment, PC's that don't have bluetooth, and (some) tablets. Does it work? Yes, no reservations. Fully charged, the battery was only 50% drained at the end of a 10 hour flight to London from Phoenix, AZ. I used this device in conjunction with my iPad mini, the aircraft infotainment system and even my PC at home. Binding was fast and effortless. Recommend you read the instructions because although binding and unbinding is easy (and works) the unit itself has a minimum of controls and you need to know what you're doing! I really can't speak to quality or range, but at least up to around ten to fifteen feet it was working fine, and sound quality was excellent without drop-out or interference. Can I listen to music while the unit is attached to a charger? Yes you can. This was a worry for me, especially since I forgot to recharge before the return trip. So I attached to a USB-C power bank and absolutely no problem, throughout charging, the unit worked fine. BTW, many airlines seem to be banning the use of power banks on or onto their aircraft - just another nuisance to check on before you fly! Do I know how much power is left? Yes, there are 4 white LED's which tell you how much charge you've got on the device. The top-most illuminated LED flashes until the next level is reached or the unit is fully charged. Finally, can two people listen to the same audio? Yes, my wife and I watched a video on the plane, with both of us wearing Bose NC headphones in bluetooth mode. The unit provides two, simultaneous links so for me that was the final box ticked. Some widgets are hard to use, but this one is well thought out and easy.

This relay works great with our laptops! The instructions were concise, clear, and both sets of our ear buds were very easy to pair and use with it. We can now watch our downloaded movies on our flights with each of us having our own set of earbuds instead of having to share one set, lol. We especially appreciated how the instructions boldly point out to turn off our phone Bluetooth during pairing because that causes 90% of problems...sure enough, that instantly worked. We also like the included charging cable, plane adaptor and sturdy zippered carrying case.

OMG! This little device is awesome! Recently flew on Delta and American. This adapter worked well on the large planes. The short flight taken on a smaller, commuter plane didn't offer seatback entertainment. It was so old, Wi-Fi was absent too. Initiating the unit requires a QR code reader to access online instructions. The first synch was a little challenging, but once it was successful, all other pairing sessions were much faster. The audio transfer was wonderful. Listening to headphones without a cord made the flight more enjoyable too. Definitely worth the purchase and highly recommended!

Connectivity through my TV remote is excellent with no noticeable lag. Sound quality is excellent, battery life is also very good and can be supplemented with a USB power pack for near continuous operation. My only complaint is gain: while the volume is adequate it's barely adequate. I don't understand the gain structure to know whether it can be increased and my hearing acuity might be a part of the problem others might not have. All that said it does what it's supposed to do, lets me watch TV without bothering my wife, and I would happily buy it again.

Works like a charm. Very slight latency so not ideal for gaming. But for watching movies on a plane via your bluetooth head set, it's perfect. Easily pairs with my Bose Quiet Comfort and Powerbeats Pro 2.

Worked great and very easy to use. The sound Quality and value were good. Used on a Delta flight. Longer range hasn’t been tested yet.

Very seldom does "plug and play" work as seamlessly as promised . . . except this does! Using this to give an oldie but goodie iPod classic the ability to Bluetooth connect and play through a couple Bose Revolve and Sonos speakers. Seriously, this took less than 5 minutes to set up. Plug it into the iPod's headset jack, then plug it into an outlet. It came with about a 75% charge, but I wanted it to always be plugged into a power source since I plan on leaving it in place. Toggle the on button to on, then push the sync button on this transmitter and on the first speaker. Connected easily. Do the same with the second speaker. Connected just as easily. At this point, I paired the two Bose speakers with each other so they could play in either party or stereo mode. No matter which mode they're in, they play in sync with each other without lag, latency or static. So far, I've used this almost everyday since initial set up and there was never any issue with needing to re-pair or re-sync - - - all devices remembered each other (recognizing it as Avantree) and picked up just where they left off. It honestly took me more time dealing with the physical aspect of cord managing the charging cable (fishing the cable behind furniture so it's out of sight) than actual set up of the device. Comments: - note there is an actual on/off switch on the device. It's tiny and on the side of the transmitter, but that needs to be "on" in order to function. I don't know if it's necessary, but I also turn it off when I'm not using it just so it's not always actively sending out a signal. - happy surprise that there are also volume control buttons right along side the on/off switch. I don't need those in my situation, but if you're travelling or are using this as a portable transmitter, this is a handy bonus - it's amazingly teeny - - - about the size of a flash drive and smaller than an old school pack of gum - comes with a 2 prong headset jack, presumably for airplane use, but I think most airlines have gone to the single jack input as I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a double jack on a plane. - comes with a charging cable, but not a wall plug. - if you're taking this with you, it also comes with a compact case that everything fits into nicely

Worked a charm! Glad I read reviews and chose this money saving option vs the highly marketed "name brand" version. I had no issues pairing these with the Shokz Open Fit Pro's. I did not have to unpair the ear buds from my phone. I used these on a 14+ hour flight with zero issues. On the way home, I used them for 20 total hours of flight time on 1 charge. No lag, no audio issues. Would buy again. The range was pretty good. A couple of times, I headed to the restroom and forgot to pause my movie. I got in that little plane cube and was startled to realize I was still listening to the audio from my seat screen. So, good range with no interference. Was honestly surprised how many people are still using the free and terrible plane earbuds.

Der Adapter kam sehr gut verpackt an. Die Einrichtung und die Verbindung mit den Kopfhörern ging sehr fix. Zudem ist die Anleitung auch verständlich. Im Flugzeug konnten wir den Adapter testen. Ergebnis einfach sehr gut. Akku hält lange, Übertragung ohne Verzögerung und in guter Qualität. Das verbinden weiterer Kopfhörer auch einfach. Zudem kann man zwei Kopfhörer sogar gleichzeitig nutzen. Für den Preis super. Vor allem kann man es ja auch außerhalb vom Flugzeug nutzen. Definitiv klare Kaufempfehlung

Bought it for a recent long airplane ride from Dubai to Canada. Was Flying on ITA Airways. Didn't need to use because ITA allows direct bluetooth connection, but I tested it on my laptop and it worked as stated. Only problem is trying to remember the directions to connect/pair since I don't use it very often.

Funcionó justo como esperaba, no duden en comprar el artículo.

I picked up the Avantree Relay mainly for use on flights, and it’s been very reliable so far. Setup is simple and quick, pairing easily with my Bluetooth headphones. Once connected, the audio has been stable with no noticeable dropouts or lag, even during long flights. Sound quality is very good for a Bluetooth adapter, and it works well for movies, TV shows, and general audio without sync issues. The adapter itself is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in hand luggage or a pocket. Battery life has been more than sufficient for long journeys, and I’ve been able to use it across multiple flights without needing to recharge in between. Build quality feels solid, and the physical controls are easy to use without needing to look at the device. It also works well beyond flights — I’ve used it with gym equipment and other non‑Bluetooth audio sources with consistent results. Overall, this is a well‑designed, dependable Bluetooth adapter that does exactly what it’s meant to do. A great option if you want wireless headphones to work properly with airplane entertainment systems or other wired audio sources.

muy buena compra, justo lo que necesitaba.
