I just bought one of these. The sound quality is fine for just listening to music or sending it to a sound system. However, the latency is high enough to be annoying when watching a video, which is supposed to be the main purpose of the device - watching videos on a plane. I had hoped I could use it to monitor my audio interface so that I could play guitar along with music without using an audio workstation, but the lag made it impossible to play along. I'll be returning it tomorrow.
@@AskDaveTaylor I was listening with AirPods Pro 2. The video was played on an M1 iMac. The AirFly was plugged into the headphone jack of a Universal Audio Volt 476 audio interface. The reason for this setup is to hear a guitar plugged into the interface while playing along with any Mac audio without the hassle of going through a digital audio workstation. When I do this with wired headphones there is zero lag. I expected some lag with bluetooth but this is noticeable on the video/audio sync and impossible to play along with on guitar because each note is heard a beat after it is played.
I bought some other Bluetooth devices and they didn’t work. I was trying to connect my old stereo receiver so I could use my air pods pro. I’ll be returning the one I just bought and getting these and hope they work. Thanks for a informative video.
@@AskDaveTaylor I ask because I've seen many comments that say there is an annoying lag with causes the sound to be out of sync with video on airplanes.
Thanks for the simple easy to understand explanation of how this device works. 🙏
Yes, it worked great 👍 I had to get an adapter for my stereo because it has the bigger headphone slot
Thank you for your vid. Helped me to understand things.
Speaking of old hi-fi system do I plug it in the phone jack of the stereo to play music from my phone.

Interesting. What's your source device? I didn't find this problem at all. Wondering if you have an older Bluetooth 4.x device?

Did it work? I have a vintage stereo and hope to add bluetooth to it.
Thank you for this video
Do you have any thoughts on latency for video watching on a plane?
watching on a plane shouldn't be any different!

Interesting. I haven't tested it out on an plane, but I can't possibly imagine why that would make any difference.
I’ve had one for just over two years now and I never have gotten more than 12 hours on a charge. It also no longer pairs with my AirPod Pro’s.
Check with the manufacturer about your pairing issue, there might be a firmware update to fix it.
