Bonelk Fly — Bluetooth Audio Transmitter
$40.90 ex GST
($44.99 inc GST)
A Bluetooth transmitter that adds wireless audio to equipment that has none. Plug it into a 3.5mm or optical output and it sends the sound to wireless headphones or a speaker.
What it does:
Transmits audio over Bluetooth from a wired source
Connects via 3.5mm or optical
Pairs with wireless headphones and speakers
Where schools use it:
Older displays, projectors and TVs with no Bluetooth
Sending audio from a fixed AV source to a wireless speaker
Library and quiet-listening setups
This is a transmitter, not a receiver — it sends audio out of a device, it doesn't let a speaker receive from a phone. If you need the opposite, you want a Bluetooth receiver. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.
Twelve South AirFly — Bluetooth Audio Transmitter
from $54.54 ex GST
($59.99 inc GST)
AirFly sends audio from any 3.5mm socket to wireless headphones. It was built for aeroplane entertainment systems, but the school use is more interesting: it lets AirPods and other Bluetooth headphones work with equipment that has no Bluetooth at all.
Choose your model:
AirFly SE — one pair of headphones, the lowest-cost option
AirFly Pro — two pairs at once, and works in reverse to receive audio
AirFly Pro 2 — the current Pro, in black, white or blue
AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe — Pro 2 with a travel case and extra adaptors
Where it earns its place in a school: older listening stations, CD and audio players, gym and fitness equipment, and library media stations — anywhere a student with wireless headphones meets a device with only a headphone socket. Also useful for staff wanting to hear a projector or display without cabling across the room.
Pro shares to two pairs, which suits paired listening tasks and reading buddies. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.
