Was comparing this Connect Air with the Airfly Pro, the latter having lots of negative reviews (on Officeworks website, nearly all negative - connection issues, lag, etc). The Connect Air has decent 4 star reviews across Amazon and Google. So thought I'd give it a go.
Once received I tested it, the pairing was super quick, and the audio was crisp and clear, with only a minor latency - like 1/10th of a second. If you're not focused on the lips of people speaking, you won't even notice as it's such a tiny lag. Tested with MacBook Air M1 3.5mm output to AirPods Pro 2. Planning on using it in-flight.
The device is super light and surprisingly small compared to the Amazon photos (where it looks bigger/fatter than the Airfly Pro. It's literally half the width of the AirPods case. It's also cheaper than the Airfly. However, unlike the Airfly Pro, it doesn't have a Receiver mode. I don't have a use case for that anyway so didn't bother me.
MEE audio are experts in their domain (I believe) so would have a lot more experience than Airfly with audio electronics, so I'm not surprised the reviews rate them higher.
Beautiful purchase (so far). Will fully test in-flight and will report back if any issues arise, and to test real use battery life.
Theres generic ones on Ali express for half the price which are quite good quality too.
