Flying soon? Then you’re probably wondering: can I use my own headphones or earbuds on the plane?
Many airplanes with an entertainment system only offer a mini jack connection, which means you can’t connect your Bluetooth earbuds or headphones directly. But with the Xtorm AirWave Audio Adapter, you can! In this blog, we’ll explain exactly how you can use a Bluetooth adapter on a plane (and beyond).
What is a Bluetooth adapter?
Let’s start with the basics — what exactly is a Bluetooth adapter? It’s a compact device that converts a mini jack output into a wireless Bluetooth signal. When flying, you simply plug the adapter into the AUX port of the plane’s entertainment system. All that’s left to do is connect your wireless earbuds or headphones to the Bluetooth adapter.
The Xtorm AirWave Audio Adapter
The Xtorm AirWave Audio Adapter is Bluetooth-compatible and turns any mini jack port into one that works with your wireless headphones or earbuds. You can even connect two headphones at once — perfect if you want to watch the same movie together on the plane. It weighs just 17 grams and is small enough to take anywhere. So, if you’re looking for a mini jack AUX adapter for your travels, this one is a great pick!
Why a Bluetooth adapter is a game-changer on flights
Airline earbuds often have poor sound quality and aren't very comfortable. With a Bluetooth adapter, you can enjoy the sound and comfort of your own headphones or earbuds. No more dangling or too-short cables — and you can even use noise cancelling to block out your surroundings. The Xtorm AirWave works with any Bluetooth-compatible wireless headset or earbuds.
Other ways to use a Bluetooth adapter
The Xtorm audio transmitter isn’t just for flying. You can also use it in other places with a mini jack port. For example, does your car stereo still have an AUX input? Plug in the adapter and stream music from your phone wirelessly. Or maybe you’re a regular at the gym — just connect your headphones to the treadmill and enjoy your workout playlist cable-free.
Now you know how easy it is to use your own wireless headphones or earbuds on a plane, thanks to the Xtorm AirWave Audio Adapter. Still have questions after reading this blog? Feel free to contact our customer service team!
