Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 vs AirFly SE, Which AirFly Is Better for Travel?

Both of these products solve the same basic problem. They let you use wireless headphones with a headphone jack, especially on airplane seatback screens.

The AirFly SE is the simpler version. It connects one pair of headphones and gives you 20+ hours of battery life. If you just want the cheapest clean fix for solo flights, that is enough.

The AirFly Pro 2 is the better travel buy because it does more of the things that actually matter. It gives you 25+ hours of battery life, charges over USB-C, and most importantly pairs with two headphones. That is not a throwaway feature. It is exactly what makes it useful for traveling with a partner and watching something together from a tablet or laptop without messing with splitters or wires.

The Pro 2 also feels easier to justify because it stretches beyond just airplane use. It is still small, still simple, and more flexible once you leave the single-listener use case.

Bottom line: The AirFly SE is fine if you only ever travel alone and want the cheaper option. The AirFly Pro 2 is the better AirFly for most people, and the better one by a lot if shared listening matters even a little.
