Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 Bluetooth adapter discounted for Memorial Day
The premium Bluetooth transmitter is now available for $49.99 at Amazon and directly from the manufacturer, offering one of its best recorded prices ahead of the holiday weekend.
Twelve South has reduced the price of its AirFly Pro 2 Bluetooth adapter to $49.99, marking a $10 discount ahead of the US Memorial Day weekend. The sale is available through Amazon and directly from the manufacturer, positioning the device at one of its best recorded prices to date. The timing coincides with the traditional start of the summer travel season, prompting retailers to release deals on travel-related electronics.
The AirFly Pro 2 is a Bluetooth transmitter designed to allow users to connect wireless headphones or earbuds to devices equipped with standard audio jacks. This functionality is particularly relevant for air travel, where many in-flight entertainment systems rely on analogue audio outputs rather than Bluetooth connectivity. By plugging the adapter into a seatback entertainment system, passengers can bypass airline-provided wired earbuds in favour of their own personal audio devices.
As the premium model in Twelve South’s AirFly lineup, the Pro 2 offers several enhancements over the cheaper AirFly SE variant. Key features include dedicated onboard volume controls, an upgraded processor for faster pairing and improved sound quality with reduced background noise, and a battery life of up to 25 hours on a single charge. The device also supports the simultaneous connection of two pairs of headphones, facilitating shared media consumption with travel companions.
Beyond the cabin, the adapter remains compatible with any standard audio jack, extending its utility to other consumer electronics. Users can connect their wireless headphones to Nintendo Switch consoles, older car stereos, and gym equipment such as treadmills. This versatility ensures the device provides value well beyond the initial flight.
The discount is part of a broader trend of sales on travel gadgets and consumer electronics as Memorial Day weekend approaches. Alongside the AirFly Pro 2, retailers are offering deals on portable power banks, noise-canceling headphones, and various other tech items. The sale underscores the seasonal shift in consumer spending towards travel and leisure electronics.
