Avantree Relay - Airplane Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, Supports 2 AirPods or Headphones, 20Hr Playtime, 3.5mm AUX Wireless Audio Transmitter for Travel Flight, Airline, Gym

Very seldom does "plug and play" work as seamlessly as promised . . . except this does!Using this to give an oldie but goodie iPod classic the ability to Bluetooth connect and play through a couple Bose Revolve and Sonos speakers.Seriously, this took less than 5 minutes to set up.Plug it into the iPod's headset jack, then plug it into an outlet. It came with about a 75% charge, but I wanted it to always be plugged into a power source since I plan on leaving it in place.Toggle the on button to on, then push the sync button on this transmitter and on the first speaker. Connected easily.Do the same with the second speaker. Connected just as easily.At this point, I paired the two Bose speakers with each other so they could play in either party or stereo mode. No matter which mode they're in, they play in sync with each other without lag, latency or static.So far, I've used this almost everyday since initial set up and there was never any issue with needing to re-pair or re-sync - - - all devices remembered each other (recognizing it as Avantree) and picked up just where they left off.It honestly took me more time dealing with the physical aspect of cord managing the charging cable (fishing the cable behind furniture so it's out of sight) than actual set up of the device.Comments:- note there is an actual on/off switch on the device. It's tiny and on the side of the transmitter, but that needs to be "on" in order to function. I don't know if it's necessary, but I also turn it off when I'm not using it just so it's not always actively sending out a signal.- happy surprise that there are also volume control buttons right along side the on/off switch. I don't need those in my situation, but if you're travelling or are using this as a portable transmitter, this is a handy bonus- it's amazingly teeny - - - about the size of a flash drive and smaller than an old school pack of gum- comes with a 2 prong headset jack, presumably for airplane use, but I think most airlines have gone to the single jack input as I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a double jack on a plane.- comes with a charging cable, but not a wall plug.- if you're taking this with you, it also comes with a compact case that everything fits into nicely

I have an efficiency apartment. My tv is across the room from my bed, approximately 16 feet. My onn smart Roku tv has crappy sound which is then complicated by the air conditioner located between the tv and my bed making things even harder to hear. My dad has headphones that allow him extra ability to hear his tv but I wanted something simpler and would allow me to use my wireless earbuds. This does that. The price is not absorbent. The set up was easy. as long as you know how to put your earbuds in pairing mode. ;). Scan the QR code with your phone, follow the prompts and then it’s all done. It took about 5 minutes. I hooked up two pairs of earbuds for when I run low on my battery for one set. I just switch to the pair that has a full battery. I highly recommend using both left and right earbuds for the best sound experience. I did try putting one earbud from each set in my ears and was impressed that I could lower or increase the volume as needed for two different listening experiences. You will need to adjust the sound via your earbuds. The device itself has only one volume control. I will only be using one pair at a time. I put my base unit at full sound so that I could use my tv volume control to adjust up and down.

I had no trouble linking the Avantree Relay Premium Adapter to my AirPods, although my son suggested that I turn my phone off while pairing. Apparently, his was more attracted to his phone than his AirPods. I have now used the device in three situations where it allowed me to replace wired ear buds. First, I used it on a long flight to access the in-flight "entertainment" system on the plane. With conventional wired ear buds, you can see the lips move but have no idea what a TV or movie character is saying because of the roar of the engines. Then I used it at the gym, where I distract myself with the TV built into the treadmill. I have used wired ear buds here before, but this device made a huge difference. Finally, I used it to salvage an old iPad that had lost the ability to make Bluetooth connections and had a dead speaker. Three wins!

Works great, easy to set up, clear sound. One design issue I found. The plug is 90 degrees from the receptor hole which causes the unit to stick out quite a bit. Worked well the first flight when next to window, was broken the second flight when in aisle seat and the window passenger got up to go to restroom. They hit the unit and snapped the plug. If there was a 90 degree plug on the unit it would not stick out so far. That is the only downfall, only was able to use it for two flights, well, one and a half.

I purchased this item to use on my international flight to France. Carefully following the instructions of turning of my iPhone before starting, I managed to hook up both my Apple earbuds Pro and my Beats headphones seamlessly on the first attempt for both. On the flight, it worked like a dream and connected to either one without a hitch. I highly recommend this little gem to anyone as it will make your flight more pleasant. Definitely worth the cost.

Easy to set up with iPhone 16 pro and iPod pro. Paired with the iPod pro first try. You do need to turn off the Bluetooth from your phone first. After that easy. When time to use the adapter turned off the Bluetooth on the phone and turn on device open case and synced that easy. Worked great on the two hour flight.
