I had AirFly Pro before but it was just surrender. I am happy to know that AirFly Pro "2" is available. I buy it without second thought...On one side, I love its new buttoms for the volume control and new switches for connecting two devices. On the other side, I appreciate its speedy operations & connections. About the sound quality which is the most important, the Pro 2 does enhanced or it restores much more the original audio details.I believe I have made a smart decision? Thank you "twelve south"!!!
Set up was a few seconds! The flight audio was perfect. While I was on a train from Amsterdam to Frankfurt, thieves helped themselves to my computer bag and roller bag. So I lost the airflys. But 12 South sent me a replacement?!! Wow a company with a soul! Thank you!!!
While I enjoy supporting local radio occasionally, I couldn't stand not being able to play my music in my older BMW and I didn't want to invest in a whole new system. Problem solved with the AirFly Pro 21. This little gizmo is well-designed, easy to use and the battery-life indicator on iPhone is handy. Loving hitting the road again. And I'll look forward to using on future airline flights.
Ok. Maybe I should start by saying I have never even tried my AirFly Pro 2. I never got the chance. In fact, I owed them only for 45 seconds. I bought them eagerly to try on my Singapore Airlines business class trip from Copenhagen to Singapore. I was reaoly looking forward to try them out on my flight. I take them up from the pouch, add the adaptor (I got the deluxe version), and plug them into the headphone socket to the left of the seat (there is also a better plug to the right I noticed later). This plug to the left is just down by the seat. cushion. When I wanted to pair to my AirPod Max I realised I need to turn the bluetooth on, on my AirFlys. So I pull them out from the socket again. This was also when I realised how slippery they are. And small.. Like a tiny soap in a wet shower they slipped out of my hand and down the little hole on the side of my seat cushion. And down the seat they went. From there on it was just to figure out how to get them back. I tried everything available. My dinner fork, dinner knife, the satay skewers (reallt worked well if they weren't so short). In the end I managed to make a sturdy stick out of the Singapore Airlines WiFi manual. I jerked and pushed and really yanked around in the little hole to move the AirFlys, and I could see them moving slightly. Finally in the end, I could hear them fall down on the floor. But of course,, the adaptor got separated from the AirFlys and slid out gently on the floor, while my AirFlys slipped even further in under the seat, not to be seen ever again.Now I sit here with an adaptor and a pair of useless AirPod Max writing my review. My investment lasted 45 seconds, and then they were gone. Probably I will never get to try a pair again. My AirFlys though, they will fly business class probably until the next airplane D-check. PS. I never want to look inside an airplane seat again. You can't imagine how much old food is stuck in there...
