We love the Twelve AirFly adapters that connect your wireless AirPods and other headphones to in-flight entertainment systems, vehicles, and more. But UGREEN unleashed a very similar unit of its own recently, and now it is selling for much less than the Twelve South options. The brand’s official Amazon storefront has now cut the price down alongside a 20% on-page coupon to offer the new UGREEN Airplane Bluetooth Transmitter at $26.62. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $35. This one debuted about a week ago with a regular price tag at $37. There was a 15% launch deal at the time, but you can now land one at nearly 30% off to deliver the best price yet.
As you’ll know from our launch coverage, it might not have a flashy name like the Twelve AirFly, but it essentially does the exact same thing. The small compact adapter carries up to 28 hours of battery life, hardwires into the plane’s system (as well as cars, gym equipment, TV, and just about anything else with a 3.5mm jack), and then beams the audio wirelessly to your buds or headphones using Bluetooth 5.2.
This model, unlike the most affordable Twelve South variant, can also send the audio to a pair of headphones at the same time.
Alongside the USB-C charging action, one interesting feature of this model is that it can also work in reverse. In other words, you can also beam tunes or podcasts from playlists on your phone to the adapter to, say, play them from a car’s stereo system and the like.
A complete rundown of what it is capable of is waiting in our launch coverage.
