Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 adds aptX audio, 25-hour battery life, and pairing buttons to improve audio on the go while listening with your wireless headphones.
AirFly Pro 2
When you fly as often as I do, the little things make all the difference, especially when it comes to in-flight entertainment.
The original AirFly has been in my carry-on for a couple of years. It solved one of the most annoying issues with in-flight entertainment: connecting my wireless headphones to a seatback screen.
Twelve South has upgraded the formula with the AirFly Pro 2, bringing some genuinely helpful enhancements.
Features AirFly Pro 2
The AirFly Pro 2 keeps the original’s clean, rounded white design compact enough to stay in your carry-on or even your pocket. While it launches in white, Twelve South has confirmed that blue and black colour options are coming later in the year.
Bluetooth pairing is even more straightforward with two new physical buttons. You can connect two headphones to one seatback screen.
This is perfect for sharing a movie mid-flight without needing an audio splitter or passing one AirPod between two people.
Built-in aptX codec support promises to deliver much cleaner sound with low latency, which will be noticeable when watching dialogue-heavy scenes or working out to music.
The unit now has volume and mute buttons, making adjustments easier than fiddling with controls on your headphones or entertainment screen.
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.

Battery life gets a serious bump. The AirFly Pro 2 offers over 25 hours on a single charge, easily covering most long-haul flights. There’s an LED battery indicator to avoid guesswork and a USB-C charging port.
It’s still compatible with any 3.5mm audio jack, works with all Bluetooth headphones, and will come with a new travel bag as standard.
