For the past few years, I’ve resorted to downloading some podcasts and playlists and listening to them with my own tried-and-tested comfortable Bluetooth buds.

It’s a minimalistic setup, but it works for me and allows me to skip cramming a tablet or laptop in the small space in front of me.

Most airplanes nowadays have a 3.5mm headset output and airlines provide you with a pair of cheap, single-use earbuds to plug in.

Some older planes might have the two-prong output (though it’s been a few years since I personally came across those), while newer ones might offer pre-plugged headphones.

It plugs directly into the in-flight entertainment system and lets you transmit audio to your own Bluetooth headphones or buds.

One button turns it on and puts it in pairing mode, and all you have to do is make sure your headset is in pairing mode too for them to find each other and connect.

The best part is that the Pixel Buds Pro can connect to two devices at the same time, so I could easily switch from watching a movie on the plane’s display (with the AirFly Pro) to listening to some music or catching a video on my phone, without taking my buds out, pressing any button, or plugging/unplugging anything.

I’m focusing on the travel experience, but you can basically use this to turn anything with a 3.5mm headset output into a wireless device.

Now it’s a Bluetooth receiver.
