COMPARISON TABLE Avantree Relay Avantree SoundJet R1 Avantree Voyager Review: Excellent Bluetooth adapter for flights and travel - 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. Review: Great device - works without fail - Works perfectly. I connected it to the emirates headphone jack and was able to sync the audio from my movie and have my partner watch and listen simultaneously. Great device for if you travel frequently long haul and like to co watch movies with someone. It’s also useful for if you wanna share music with others on the go - however remember - if you have an iPhone with USB C - you need an aux to USB C adapter ! ## Features - 【Enjoy Wireless Audio on Airplanes】Plug Relay directly into a standard 3.5 mm seatback audio jack or use the included dual-prong airline adapter on compatible aircraft. This Bluetooth transmitter for airplane entertainment streams in-flight movies and music wirelessly to AirPods, Bose, Sony, and other Bluetooth headphones. - 【Clear, Stable Qualcomm Audio】 Powered by a Qualcomm chipset with aptX Adaptive and aptX HD support for clear, stable wireless sound while flying, working out, or traveling. aptX features require compatible headphones; AirPods use their standard Bluetooth codec. - 【25-Hour Battery with Easy Controls】 Enjoy up to 25 hours of playtime with built-in volume buttons and a clear battery indicator—ideal for long flights, workouts, and frequent travel. - 【Not For TVs, Phones, Or Assistive Listening Devices】 Not compatible with TVs, assistive listening devices, musical instruments, or real-time monitoring. Transmitter only – does not pair with phones or tablets. - 【Made for Today, Upgradeable for Tomorrow】 Unlike basic adapters that stay the same after purchase, Relay supports firmware updates that can improve headphone compatibility, connection stability, and overall performance over time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DMFB3VJZ | | Audio Input | 3.5mm AUX | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Audio Output Type | 3.5mm, Bluetooth | | Battery Weight | 4.4 Grams | | Best Sellers Rank | 441 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 3 in Audio & Video Adapters | | Bluetooth support? | Yes | | Box Contents | Relay Bluetooth Transmitter, Type C Charging Cable | | Brand | Avantree | | Brand Name | Avantree | | Colour | Midnight Blue | | Compatibility Options | Headphones, Airline Entertainment System | | Compatible Devices | Airline Entertainment System, Gym Machine, Headphone | | Connectivity Technology | AUX | | Connectivity technology | AUX | | Connector Type Used on Cable | Auxiliary | | Control Method | Touch | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 6,393 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Bluetooth | | Hardware Interface | Bluetooth 5 | | Includes Remote | No | | Installation Type | Wired | | Lithium Battery Energy Content | 0.8 Watt Hours | | Lithium Battery Weight | 4 Grams | | Manufacturer | Avantree | | Media Types | bluetooth | | Model Name | Relay | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Polymer batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of Lithium-ion Cells | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Power source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Connect 2 headphones or AirPods simultaneously with aptX-Adaptive & Low Latency support | | Product Warranty | Warranty - 24 months (product registration to cover first 12m return shipment cost) | Extensive Support: Chat, Email, Phone, Online Clinic, Video Tutorials, FAQ and Registration - avantree.com/support | | Rechargeable Battery Included | Yes | | Special feature | Connect 2 headphones or AirPods simultaneously with aptX-Adaptive & Low Latency support | | Supported Application | Any application with 3.5mm audio output | | Supported Standards | Bluetooth 5.3, aptX Adaptive, aptX Low Latency | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wireless Compability | Bluetooth | | Wireless communication standard | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Avantree - **Colour:** Midnight Blue - **Connectivity technology:** AUX - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Special feature:** Connect 2 headphones or AirPods simultaneously with aptX-Adaptive & Low Latency support ## Images ![Avantree Relay – Airplane Bluetooth Adapter for 2 AirPods or Headphones | Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, 25H Battery, Future-Proof Firmware Upgradable, 3.5mm AUX Audio Transmitter for Flight Travel & Gym - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41E+iBehgSL.jpg) ![Avantree Relay – Airplane Bluetooth Adapter for 2 AirPods or Headphones | Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, 25H Battery, Future-Proof Firmware Upgradable, 3.5mm AUX Audio Transmitter for Flight Travel & Gym - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QW0bnJV4L.jpg) ![Avantree Relay – Airplane Bluetooth Adapter for 2 AirPods or Headphones | Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, 25H Battery, Future-Proof Firmware Upgradable, 3.5mm AUX Audio Transmitter for Flight Travel & Gym - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mulwT8p0L.jpg) ![Avantree Relay – Airplane Bluetooth Adapter for 2 AirPods or Headphones | Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, 25H Battery, Future-Proof Firmware Upgradable, 3.5mm AUX Audio Transmitter for Flight Travel & Gym - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51C+SFUi9nL.jpg) ![Avantree Relay – Airplane Bluetooth Adapter for 2 AirPods or Headphones | Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, 25H Battery, Future-Proof Firmware Upgradable, 3.5mm AUX Audio Transmitter for Flight Travel & Gym - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bk4pK9gSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work with a regular TV?** A: As long as your TV has an AUX audio output jack, the Relay will work with it. **Q: Will I get audio lag or lip-sync delays with my headphones?** A: Your headphones must support either aptX Low Latency or aptX Adaptive in order to eliminate audio latency.
