Avantree Relay - Premium Airplane Bluetooth Adapter with Advanced Qualcomm Chipset, 2 Headphones Support, 25hrs Play Time, aptX Adaptive & HD Audio Transmitter for Airpods, Bose & Travel Flight

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.

Used this on my flight to Japan and it works very well. No more having to use their headphones, now with this you can use your own. Easy set up, easy to use and compact so you can toss it in your pocket. 10/10 overall

It supplies blue tooth for 22 hours on a full charge. Works great and easy to use. Highly portable. Great product at a great price. USB charging is fast. Any electronic sound device with standard mini headphone jack will work. I used an adapter for the old style headphone jack.

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.

This is a great help if you're planning on flying on an airplane. You can also use it for anything that uses a headphone jack, so I use this a lot for my laptop when I'm at my University and I need to watch lecture videos in public or anything like that. It connects quickly, and works very smoothly. I haven't tried pairing two sets of headphones to it, but if I do I'll come back and edit my review.

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.

In spite of the description, it never worked with 2 airpods simultaneously. It would work with one or the other, but never both. Wasted a whole day trying to get it to work. Sent it back.

This thing works great. Paired easily. Sound quality was great!

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.

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.

Perfect for aeroplane journeys. Works really well and strong Bluetooth connection.
