- Does it work with any Bluetooth headphones?
- Yes. It pairs with standard Bluetooth headphones and earbuds. The aptX Adaptive, HD and LL codecs only engage if your headphones support them; otherwise it falls back to SBC.
- Can I use it with a TV or laptop?
- Yes. Any device with a 3.5 mm headphone or AUX output can feed it, including in-flight screens, TVs and laptops.
- How long does the battery last?
- Avantree rates it for roughly a full long-haul flight, but owners report it needs recharging between trips. Charge it before you fly.
- Does it also receive Bluetooth audio?
- No. It is a transmitter only: it takes a wired 3.5 mm signal and sends it to Bluetooth headphones.
- What is in the box?
- The transmitter, a charging cable and a 3.5 mm audio cable for connecting to the seat jack.
- How does it compare with a wired airline adapter?
- A wired adapter is cheaper and needs no charging, but it locks you to wired headphones. The Relay adds wireless freedom and low-latency codecs at the cost of battery management.
- Where is the Avantree Relay Premium Airplane cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $34.99, as of our latest check.
