Twelve South has released the AirFly View, a $79.99 wireless audio adapter designed to link wireless headphones to devices with standard audio jacks. Available now on Amazon and the manufacturer's website, the dongle comes in two color choices and ships with a travel case, an international airline adapter, and a USB-C charging cable. [1][2]
The main upgrade over previous models is a built-in display replacing front physical volume buttons, showing connection details, battery status, and guided pairing prompts across 24 languages. The device features Bluetooth 5.3, supports Bluetooth Auracast broadcasts, and allows two pairs of headphones to listen to one audio source simultaneously. [1][2]
The adapter operates in both transmitter mode for airplane screens or gym gear and receiver mode for car stereos or aux-in ports. Battery life reaches up to 16 hours, marking a drop from the 25-plus hours provided by the older AirFly Pro 2. [1][2]
Last month, Twelve South introduced the wildly popular AirFly Drive, its first wireless CarPlay adapter (which is now back in stock after initially selling out). Now, the popular accessory maker is back with Airfly View, which adds a built-in screen to its other popular wireless audio dongle. You can order it on Amazon today. Here’s how it works.
