The Twelve South AirFly 2 Works on Planes, at the Gym and Beyond

— September 27, 2022 — Tech
The Twelve South AirFly 2 is a compact wireless adaptor for avid travelers, athletes or drivers alike to incorporate into their mobile technology collection. The device works by being plugged into a 3.5mm headphone jack where it will immediately go to work broadcasting a Bluetooth signal for connecting with your choice of headphones or earbuds. This will work effectively on planes and even on exercise machines at the gym where audio is only broadcast through physical connections to support those with wireless equipment.

The Twelve South AirFly 2 is available alongside the AirFly Duo for letting two users enjoy audio connections at the same time alongside the AirFly Pro that's ready to stream music wirelessly in a vehicle.
Trend Themes
1. Wireless Earbud Adaptors - Opportunity to create similar devices that allow wireless connections to audio outputs with physical connections such as treadmill displays or television screens.
2. Bluetooth Broadcasting Devices - Increasing market for devices that make it easy to connect wireless headphones or earbuds to audio outputs that lack Bluetooth connectivity such as airplane entertainment systems.
3. Multipurpose Audio Adaptors - Opportunity to expand the functionality of audio adaptors beyond wireless headphone connections to include additional features such as built-in microphones, noise cancellation, or voice assistance.
Industry Implications
1. Travel Accessories - Opportunity for companies to design and market adaptors specifically for travelers or develop accessories that provide additional convenience while traveling.
2. Fitness Equipment Manufacturing - Opportunity for fitness equipment manufacturers to integrate Bluetooth broadcasting technology into exercise machines, allowing users to wirelessly connect their headphones and enjoy audio without tangled cords.
3. Automotive Technology - Opportunity to develop audio adaptors for cars that enable wireless music streaming and provide a seamless listening experience for drivers or passengers.
