Now, here comes the Twelve South AirFly Pro to the rescue. This device not only provides a simple method of Bluetooth transmitting, but it can be used on any device that has an analogue output. This means the AirFly Pro can be used in the air, car, home or with anything that has a headphone jack. Therefore, this an honest review of the Twelve South AirFly Pro.
