FOR In-Flight Wireless Listening
For travelers who want to use Bluetooth headphones with airplane seat 3.5mm audio jacks without cables. Designed specifically for airplanes, seatback screens, and other 3.5mm audio-out sources – not phones or instruments. -
Stable Audio For Movies & TV
Compatible with AirPods, Bose and all Bluetooth headphones. Simply plug the adapter into 3.5mm AUX jack to stream audio from airplane. (Not compatible with phones, car stereos, or hearing aids.) -
Dual Headphones, One Source
Connect two Bluetooth headphones at the same time to share in-flight movies or music. Audio stays synchronized between both listeners, making it ideal for couples or family travel. -
NOT FOR Real-Time Or instrument Use
NOT for musicians, gaming, live monitoring, karaoke, or electronic instruments. Bluetooth transmission introduces delay that makes real-time performance or rhythm-critical use unusable, even though audio quality itself is stable. -
LIMITED Bluetooth Behavior & Latency
Relay is a transmitter only and pairs only with headphones, not phones or tablets. Bluetooth must be turned off on previously paired devices to avoid auto-connection issues. Latency depends on headphones: aptX Adaptive ≈ low delay; Standard Bluetooth<150–200ms (lip-sync: may be noticeable)
