## Summary

Twelve South has announced the AirFly View, a wireless headphone adapter with a built-in screen that guides users through pairing. It aims to make connecting headphones to devices without Bluetooth, such as in-flight entertainment systems, easier.

The screen provides pairing instructions in 24 languages, shows the battery level and identifies connected headphones by their Bluetooth names. The device has an estimated 16-hour battery life and can stream to two pairs of headphones at once; Auracast support could expand that number when more headphones support the feature. It is available for $79.99 and includes a carrying case and an adapter for split airplane headphone jacks.
