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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-wireless-earbud). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airfly) that's ready to stream music wirelessly in a vehicle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **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. - **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. - **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. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Travel Accessories:** Opportunity for companies to design and market adaptors specifically for travelers or develop accessories that provide additional convenience while traveling. - **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. - **Automotive Technology:** Opportunity to develop audio adaptors for cars that enable wireless music streaming and provide a seamless listening experience for drivers or passengers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-User Airplane Audio Dongles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-airfly-pro-2.md) - [Wireless Transmitting Dongles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airfly.md) - [Audio-Upgrading Smartphone Transmitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiio-bt11.md) - [High-End Audio Streaming Dongles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sennheiser-btd-700.md) - [Audio-Elevating Bluetooth Modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-module.md) - [Multi-Device-Connecting Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlab-air-pro-earbuds.md) - [Open-Air Wireless Earphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerofit-2.md) - [Unibody Mobile Audio Receivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipon-bluetooth-audio-receiver.md) - [Customizable Bluetooth Amplifier Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whooshi-portable-amplifier.md)
