Editorial take
Why we picked it
There is nothing quite as humbling as boarding a long-haul flight only to be handed a pair of headphones that look and sound like they were recovered from a 1994 skip. The AirFly Pro is the Supporting tool that saves you from "scratchy-audio-hell" by letting you use your own noise-cancelling cans.
It's a tiny, elegant solution to the baffling reality that planes still use 3.5mm jacks while phone manufacturers abandoned them years ago. You just plug it in, pair it, and suddenly you're watching Succession in high-fidelity glory.
It's the gadget you forget you own until you're at 30,000 feet, at which point you'd probably trade your complimentary gin and tonic for it. Small, simple, and utterly vital for the frequent flyer.
Detailed verdict
The full review
The Irresistible
- It supports two pairs of headphones simultaneously, so you and a travel companion can watch the same film without having to share an earbud like a pair of cash-strapped teenagers.
- The 25-hour battery life means it will easily outlast your endurance for any long-haul flight to Singapore or LA.
The Clever Part
- It doubles as an AUX-in adapter, so you can breathe life into that ancient car stereo or your grandad's hi-fi system using your phone.
- The pairing process is refreshingly straightforward, lacking the usual "Bluetooth dance" that involves swearing and turning things on and off again.
The Fine Print
- There is a very slight, almost imperceptible audio lag; it's fine for movies, but you might notice it if you're a professional rhythmic gymnast or a hardcore gamer.
- It's so small that it's incredibly easy to leave plugged into the seat-back when you stumble off the plane in a jet-lagged haze.
The Reality Check
- If you lose the tiny keychain cap, the 3.5mm plug just sits there exposed, waiting to get bent in your bag or stabbed into your thigh.
