AirPods Pro offer great active noise cancellation and would be perfect for airplanes — except you can’t plug them into the in-flight entertainment center.

Well, now you can.

The Eve II Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver can be plugged into the airplane’s audio jacks and beam sound directly to your AirPods. Say goodbye to tangly wires and janky airline headphones.

They can be used with any Bluetooth headphones, not just AirPods. Better yet, they also can be used as a receiver, letting you beam music or podcasts from your iPhone to a home stereo or car radio.

The gadget boasts 20 hours of battery life — longer than most international flights — and while it’s on sale, it’s $10 cheaper than Twelve South’s similar AirFly Pro.

The Eve II Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver is on sale now for only $45.99 (regularly $59) — but the deal ends Sunday at midnight.

AirPods airplane adapter makes in-flight entertainment sound great

Even in 2024, most in-flight entertainment systems don’t offer Bluetooth connections. This means you can’t pop in your AirPods Pro and enjoy your choice of the airline’s featured movies, TV shows and music in a glorious state of noise-cancellation-induced bliss. Instead, you need to bring an additional pair of wired headphones or use (or purchase) a crappy pair on the plane.

If using random earbuds that don’t work well or continuously fall out seems unappealing to you, you’re not alone. That’s why this Eve II Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver is such a useful device for travelers. Perfect for any upcoming air travel, it’s on sale now for only $45.99 (regularly $59).

AirPods airplane adapter: Make in-flight entertainment sound awesome

Specially made to be compatible with airline entertainment systems, it measures just 1.6 inches by 0.5 inches by 1.8 inches. You can pack the tiny Bluetooth adapter in your backpack or toss it into your pocket so you can use your AirPods to stay entertained throughout your flight.

Its folding dual-3.5 mm aux plugs let you connect to regular single jacks or those two-hole ones that airplane manufacturers sometimes use just to irritate you. The dongle employs Bluetooth 5.3 for solid wireless connections, and it works with two sets of AirPods (or other wireless earbuds/headphones) at a time.

You’ll get up to 20 hours of battery life on a charge, which will come in handy during long trips. Plus, the Bluetooth adapter’s 32-foot wireless range should prove more than sufficient for almost any scenario.

Use it with a pair of the latest AirPods Pro with USB-C case for the ultimate in in-flight comfort and noise cancellation. (Need a pair? Apple’s latest AirPods Pro are currently on sale for just $189, the lowest price we’ve seen for our favorite noise-canceling earbuds.)

Bluetooth adapter works with TVs, home and car stereos, and more

The Eve II is not limited to airplanes, either. In fact, versatility is key with this affordable Bluetooth transmitter and transmitter.

It’s compatible with various audio devices, from TVs and home stereos to car audio systems. It’s easy to use, and bridges the gap between your favorite wireless gadgets and older devices that don’t come with built-in Bluetooth.
