Excellent Bluetooth adapter for flights and travel
I picked up the Avantree Relay mainly for use on flights, and it’s been very reliable so far.Setup is simple and quick, pairing easily with my Bluetooth headphones. Once connected, the audio has been stable with no noticeable dropouts or lag, even during long flights. Sound quality is very good for a Bluetooth adapter, and it works well for movies, TV shows, and general audio without sync issues.The adapter itself is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in hand luggage or a pocket. Battery life has been more than sufficient for long journeys, and I’ve been able to use it across multiple flights without needing to recharge in between.Build quality feels solid, and the physical controls are easy to use without needing to look at the device. It also works well beyond flights — I’ve used it with gym equipment and other non‑Bluetooth audio sources with consistent results.Overall, this is a well‑designed, dependable Bluetooth adapter that does exactly what it’s meant to do. A great option if you want wireless headphones to work properly with airplane entertainment systems or other wired audio sources.

Worked Flawlessly on Two Virgin Atlantic Flights
I bought the Avantree Relay for a return flight with Virgin Atlantic and used it with my Sony WH CH520 wireless Bluetooth headphones. It worked brilliantly on both flights.On the outbound flight, the aircraft had Bluetooth connectivity, but it kept disconnecting, which became really frustrating. As soon as I plugged in the Avantree Relay, my headphones stayed connected for the entire 11 hour flight without a single issue.On the return flight, I was on an older aircraft that did not have Bluetooth at all, so the Relay was essential. The airline does provide wired headphones, but the sound quality is not great, and I much prefer using my own headphones as they block out more background noise and are far more comfortable.I only charged the Relay before each flight, and the battery easily lasted the entire journey with plenty of power to spare.It was simple to set up, reliable throughout both flights, and made a huge difference to my in flight entertainment. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to use their own wireless headphones when flying.

Don’t do what i did
I bought this for a long‑haul flight (over 10hrs) so my wife could use her own noise‑cancelling headphones instead of the airline’s. I expected something a bit more solid for the price, but it does feel very lightweight.Once connected, it worked exactly as needed. My wife used her headphones and the battery life matched the advertised runtime. I also paired my own earphones, allowing our two sets of headphones to share the audio stream. Again this worked well.Don’t do what I did, make sure you read the instructions before travelling. I had to figure it out on the plane. It worked out fine, but it could easily have gone wrong.Dual‑device pairing worked smoothly, audio stayed in sync, and the included adapter can handle both single‑pin and dual‑pin airplane sockets.Pros:• Reliable battery life• Stable dual‑headphone connection• Lightweight and easy to pack• Comes with a protective carry case and adapters for different aircraft formatsCons:• The build feels lighter and less substantial than expected for the priceGreat for travellers who want to use their own headphones on flights and/or want to share an audio output i.e. watch the same film.

Great and invaluable find!
This for me, i.e., has been an invaluable find! I bought a Bose system a good few years back, didn't do terribly much research at the time unfortunately! I mistakenly thought that the Bose system had a Bluetooth transmitter but was disappointed to find that this was not the case! It came with In-ear Earphones! So, had to sit literally on top of the system if I wanted to listen to it through these and wasn't prepared to do so!Anyway, a little Roberts radio packed up recently and I bought another cheapy on Amazon which is okay but initially bought this relay to listen to regular daily broadcasts on the new little radio using my Bluetooth earbuds! Suffice to say, I thought to give the relay a go on my Bose. Well, I am now able to listen to my Bose through my earbuds and this has transformed my Bose usage and listening greatly! I would say too, my house is older, has thicker walls and I find the range of this relay is probably as stipulated if not a little greater and sound quality is invariably good. Sound may phase in and out as I move from one room to another but, on the whole, I'm very pleased with it!

Works on our (old) IPad so 2 people can watch/listen to the same thing at once.
Great little dongle with a handy carry case. I use it on the iPad which still has a headphone port so that both my kids can watch a film together with their own headphones. Or myself and my husband can use our Bluetooth earphones to watch the same thing. My husband’s headphones are better quality than my basic ones and he doesn’t experience any lag but I do have a slight sound lag, but not enough to bother me.Slightly more expensive than I wanted to pay for an item that will only get used a few times a year, but I wanted a reliable adaptor and this has fit the bill so far.

Good, but pairing is not easy.
Not easy to pair in the first place, I still can only pair one set of headphones. I still can;'t connect my AirPods. But in use on a flight it worked very well. No loos of sound quality.

Better than wired headphones
Used on recent flights paired with new headphones. Worked exactly as it should. Very minimal delay, which I’d read in other reviews, but barely noticeable and didn’t detract from viewing/listening experience. A bit expensive for what it is but so much better than having wired airplane headphones.

These actually work! Delta, Virgin tested.
For anyone this may help - works fine with Delta airlines and with Virgin both transatlantic. Used with Bose headphones. Bit quirky to connect but I think that was the headphones TBH. Battery life was very good and sound quality and reliability of connection were both good.
User
No problem with connection. Works as advertised
Bought it for a recent long airplane ride from Dubai to Canada. Was Flying on ITA Airways. Didn't need to use because ITA allows direct bluetooth connection, but I tested it on my laptop and it worked as stated.Only problem is trying to remember the directions to connect/pair since I don't use it very often.
