There was an older thread about this. but is now locked, so here is one more:

RHA Wireless Flight Adapter lets you use your Bluetooth headphones on the plane - Tech Guide

There are lots of quality wireless Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones and earphones on the market which are great when paired to a mobile device but how can you keep using them wirelessly on a plane? With the RHA Wireless Flight Adaptor – that’s how. The RHA Wireless Flight Adaptor is...

With more and more phones now losing the headphone jack, and bluetooth headphones becoming more popular, has anyone used the below adapter and can offer any comments?
It looks interesting, and I would consider using them as I primarily use a Jabra Elite 75e for my phone headset, and for short flights also use these for their noise cancelling. Albeit not as good as QC20's. The newer Bose QC30's headphones do not have cables so generally don't work with airplane audio out of the box.

The benefit of the one linked above, i see it as, is that you can use it on planes with the double pin jack, but also anywhere else that has only a single jack also. Battery life on it seems to be able to handle most long-haul flights also.

Oh and these are only available via the US Amazon site, as far as I can see.

Looks great but I had to chuckle at this:

"The on-board battery of the RHA Wireless Flight Adapter runs for up to 16 hours which is more than enough for even the longest flight. "

Obviously never taken QF 9/10!

Oh very interesting, thank you! I thought the ability to plug the RHA device into the headphone jack was neat, but the newer one you've linked to has both receiver and transmitter mode, so it'ls going to have more uses than just on the plane!

The design of this one may not work with every plane. Some planes have the headphone jack in the armrest facing your leg.

I have the twelve south airfly which works relatively well.
