Avantree 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

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.

Fantastic piece of kit. This will reliably stream audio from the 3.5mm output of any device to 2 receivers concurrently. Good range, no dropouts, LEDs to show connected devices. I haven't found an avantree anything which hasn't been great.

Really handy to have a Bluetooth transmitter for in-flight entertainment so you can use your wireless earphones/headphones. The option to pair a second device and watch a film together is nice too, though we haven't actually done that beyond testing. Some airlines have a 'watch together' feature though, which eliminates the need, and better syncs video too so you're still watching your own screen, and have independent volume control. Pairing was smooth, but (re-)connecting can be a bit flakey, and a dance of disabling Bluetooth on your phone or whatever else might've connected. To some extent that is just Bluetooth, but there's not really a good excuse for it not taking over once the audio's playing. Nicer feel & design than other Avantree models, and the inclusion of a short USB cable to both charge and take audio from IFE is a nice touch.

Purchased for my 9 hour flight to Nashville from UK flying with BA. the device worked really well with my Samsung Galaxy Earbuds - sound quality was even better than my phone! I would highly recommend reading instructions and playing around with it before flying. Sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for it to connect to your phone when on plane. However great quality.

Finally got to try this out on four long flights to Auss and back. Paired effortlessly with mu Bose NC headphones with no percevable delay to the sound. Made long flights much more enjoyable (?) With clear sound without the wire getting in the way. I was also surprised at how long the battery listed- not on the full flight but quite a lot of the 23 hrs each way and didn't run out!! Definitely a great buy and is now permanently in my headphones case. Didn't try pairing a second device, will try this next time. Small case to put it in is good too.

Used on BA long haul and it was a game changer, being able to hear a movie really well through my noice-cancelling headphones compared to the ones you get on the plane that block out next to no plane noise. Would 100% recommend. The small zip bag they come with is nice and makes the compact small size of it feel less like you're going to lose it

Got this for a long haul flights and just had chance to test it. So it works ok, easy to pair. Weird things happen to my airpods pro 2, its temperamental to connect the airpods even worse when I paired my wife airpods pro 2 and share the audio of the movie we were watching. Sometimes after a 30-40 minutes it can be heard like a crackling noise or one ear dropping out, turning it on and off again fixes that. Not sure how it works with other brands im sure it will be less problematic with other brands that is not Apple. For the money I'd expect better but it's easily fixed by cycling the power. Im returning the product as I need somethat will work well with Airpods pro 2. Comes well packaged and has a handy little pouch for the bits.

Very easy to use and reliably works on most/all flights I’ve taken. Sometimes I do have to check how to re-pair the headphones when I can’t get them to switch from my phone. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to use their own Bluetooth headphones without a cable.

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.

Marche parfaitement. Installation facile. Quel bonheur de pouvoir utiliser ses AirPods dans l’avion. Je recommande !

muy buena compra, justo lo que necesitaba.
