Fwiw I have never found a two/three pin airplane where one of the pins wasn't secretly a stereo pin anyways. Or maybe I was getting mono audio but I was definitely getting audio in both ears.
I actually have one of the cheaper knockoffs and I do see some delay but it was never particularly bad. Like it's about as bad as I expect these entertainment systems to be anyways even with wired headphones. I generally expect A/V sync to be terrible on most equipment. I think people are just used to it these days.

Just a quick note to add that I bought an AirFly Pro based on one of these posts and stuck it in my shoulder bag and it remained there for quite a while unused. On a recent BA flight I put the headset into the jacks and was unable to get decent sound out. So I pulled out the AirFly and got it paired with Airpods and it was a fantastic improvement. I might never use the BA headset again.

I got the AirFly SE not long ago and it works great. If you dont need it to receive or need to use it with more than one pair of headphones it works just fine and costs half the price of the AirFly pro. I did find the old dual mono connector on a Swiss flight recently but it worked fine in one of those jacks, albeit in mono. I carried a dual mono to stereo adapter for years and never used it so I stopped carrying it. Now I found that I needed it so I guess Ill start carrying it again.

I purchased an AirFly SE to pair with my Phonak hearing aids, to be used for IFE. At home, it paired with my HAs.
My HAs paired and worked with a BT adaptor on my Dell PC. To test the Airfly, I plugged it in the PC's 35mm jack, after removing the BT adaptor. But my HAs did not work.
Should I keep the Airfly and try it on my next flight, or should I return it?
