When you think of the world’s most pointless things, aeroplane headphones are up there with the highest setting on a toaster.

Compact, lightweight and, quite frankly a lifesaver, the Avantree Relay is a sleek little adaptor that plugs in to the plane entertainment system and allows you to connect your own Bluetooth headphones to it.

When I used it, it connected in an instant without any complications, plus there wasn’t a second of lagging. Huge win.
It also comes with a fully charged and long-lasting up to 20 hour battery, meaning you can get to listening as soon as it arrives in the post and won’t have to worry about it dying on you mid-movie.
You should’ve seen how smug I was as I donned my Airpods to watch my in-flight entertainment as the rest of the plane, apparently far less clued-up than me, unwrapped their plastic bags of shame.
But it gets better: the Avantree Replay’s super clever design allows you to easily connect up to two audio devices and share the audio, perfect if you and your travel companion want to relax with the same music or watch a movie together.
All coming in a neat and compact zipped bag, this nifty little adaptor changed the game for me on my holiday and I wont ever be without it on a flight again.
But it’s not just me who loves the affordable adaptor, with almost 1300 Amazon shoppers agreeing it’s a five-star buy.
‘This Relay kit has become an essential part of my travel kit,’ raved one impressed reviewer. ‘The Bluetooth adapter is fantastic, especially for long flights and the sound quality is top-notch, giving clear and crisp audio without any noticeable lag.
‘One of the best features is its battery life – it lasts throughout my long flights (14hrs plus and it barely went down one bar) without needing a recharge.’ It’s easy to connect if you follow the instructions and worked perfectly with Apple AirPods.’
Another added: ‘Finally got to try this out on four long flights to Auss and back. Paired effortlessly with mu Bose NC headphones with no percevable delay to the sound.
‘Made long flights much more enjoyable (?) With clear sound without the wire getting in the way. ’
If you buy anything for your upcoming travels, make it this. Trust us.
