FAQS

does this device also talk to bluetooth speakers from Macbook computers?

If you mean using the macbook headphone jack and transmit to BT speakers, it should, but it may depend on the specific speakers. (Assuming your speakers are not supported by the macbooks’ BT natively or is too laggy for your comfort.)

A green light on the right side of AirFly Pro indicates that it is receiving power. A white light on the left side of AirFly Pro indicates that it is connected to Apple Watch via Bluetooth A red light indicates there is no audio signal being received by AirFly Pro

How do I connect my iPhone or iPad?

Is there a way to tell how much battery is left?

Does this provide noise cancellation with the AirPods pro

If you’re already using noise cancelling mode – then it follows across.

Does this work on a regular TV?

If the TV has a “speaker” or “audio” out jack then the answer is yes – however, it must be a 3.5mm audio connection, not an RCA jack. I’ve used this when I travel for my wife’s wireless headsets to watch TV while I sleep – as long as there is an “AUX” or audio out 3.5mm jack and you can pair the wireless headset to the Airfly

Will this work with Beats fit pro ear buds?

This works with Bluetooth earbuds and headphones. Very easy to connect.

“airpods must be inside airpod case to enter pairing mode (#1 pairing mistake)” seems obvious that the first mistake was a design flaw?!

AirPods have to be inside the case to pair to your other devices as well so not really a design flaw. The pairing process is very quick and simple.

Will this allow me to pair 2 AirPods to my Mac book?

Yes, you will be able to connect two pairs of AirPods to an AirFly and connect to your laptop to hear audio from it.

Does this work with with other Bluetooth headphones?

Yes, it should work with any and all bluetooth headphones, but due to the vast number of bluetooth headphones out there, it has not been tested with all of them. You should not have any issue though, as long as you follow the specific instructions (PDF file) found on the Twelve South support website.

Why the volume is too low?

the volume is not controling by the Airfly, you can only adjust from the unit where you put the jack and/or from your bluetooth headset if you have a volume control.

Does it receive just audio, or can it receive video as well (see pictures on the cell on TV screen)?

The AirFly Pro receives only audio.

Extension to reach tv sound jack?

Standard part – definitely sold separately.

Can this device be pair with and transmit to a FM bluetooth transmitter?

AirFly plugs into the 3.5mm audio jack of non-Bluetooth devices (such as a television, treadmill, or airplane entertainment system) and transmits the audio to Bluetooth enabled headphones or earpods. However, it cannot go the other way (i.e. It cannot receive Bluetooth. It can only send it.)

Only one at a time
