Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 Drops to $47 in 21% Prime Day Deal

Q: Can this $47 gadget truly fix the audio gap between your wireless headphones and outdated airplane or car jacks?

Yes—if your problem is simply that your wireless headphones can’t plug into an old 3.5mm jack, the Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 is built to solve exactly that. The device works as a Bluetooth bridge. Plug it into an airplane seatback screen, older car AUX port, gym machine, or other analog audio source, then pair your Bluetooth headphones. In reverse, it can also act as a receiver, letting an older car stereo play audio wirelessly from your phone. That makes it more versatile than a basic travel adapter. The evidence in the deal coverage supports its usefulness. ZDNET rated the offer 4 out of 5 for utility and specifically recommended it for frequent flyers. The AirFly Pro 2 also offers up to 25 hours of battery life, support for two headphones at once, and AptX audio support for better sound quality than many cheap transmitters. There are limits. It does not upgrade the source audio itself, so poor airline or old car audio will still sound only as good as the original feed allows. Compatibility also depends on having a working 3.5mm jack, and some airplanes may still require a separate dual-prong airline adapter if the seat uses that format. Bluetooth can also introduce slight latency, though AptX helps reduce it. At $47 during Prime Day, down from $60, it is a practical fix rather than a miracle cure: a strong option for travelers and anyone trying to connect modern wireless headphones to older audio hardware.

$47 buys the Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 during Amazon Prime Day, down from $60 in a limited-time deal on the White, Black and Coastal Blue versions.
The Bluetooth dongle targets devices that still use a 3.5mm jack, letting wireless headphones connect to airplane seatback screens, older car stereos, turntables and some gym equipment.
25 hours of battery life, dual-device pairing and AptX support are key selling points, while a receiver mode also lets users stream phone audio through analog sources.
June 26 is the expected end of the promotion, though Amazon can end Prime Day deals early or sell out before the sale closes.
