Even though we’re increasingly in a wireless-minded world, some tech still needs a little help bridging the gap between corded and wireless setups — think those long-haul-flight movies you’d prefer to watch without corded earbuds or the treadmill at the gym that you can only get sound from by hooking up to the audio jack. That’s where the Twelve South AirFly Duo lands to save the day at $30 at Best Buy.
This handy piece of tech essentially turns into a Bluetooth pairing device connecting your wireless earbuds with the equipment at hand — no huge cords needed. It’s perfect for frequent flyers or for those who love to keep an eye on their stats or hook up to the elliptical at the gym.
Twelve South’s AirFly Duo acts as a transmitter between wireless earbuds and the gadget at hand, whether it’s an in-air entertainment system or a treadmill at the gym.?
When it comes to travel gear, there’s nothing that can match how useful the AirFly Duo is. The device has 22 hours of battery life on a single charge, and you can pair up to two sets of wireless headphones — meaning you can share it with your significant other, friend or family member sitting next to you on the plane. If you forget to charge before you board your flight, you can still use it with the included USB-C charging cord that comes with it.
Spec-wise, Twelve South’s AirFly Duo has a 33-foot reach, so you can still share audio with your friend a row back from you, while Bluetooth 5.0 keeps the connection steady. And, since AirFly weighs right around just half an ounce, you don’t have to worry about it adding weight to your travel-day gear or gym duffel.
