Avantree Sky Infinity NC

There’s something about watching films on a plane that just hits different. Maybe it’s being 30,000 feet in the air, or the lack of distractions from our phones, but it always feels more immersive.

What’s not quite so nice is the grim thought of using the airline’s wired headphones – it’s hard not to wonder how many ears they’ve already been in. That’s where the Avantree Sky Infinity NC steps in, bridging the gap and letting you enjoy in-flight entertainment with your own wireless noise-cancelling earbuds.

This clever kit includes not one, but two pairs of wireless earbuds and a Bluetooth transmitter designed specifically for use on planes. That means you and your travel companion can both connect to the same screen – whether it’s your own device or the in-flight entertainment system (if you get the timing right). The earbuds come housed in a smart swivelling charging case that holds both pairs securely. It’s perfect for long journeys, as you can use one pair while the other charges.

In terms of comfort, they’re lightweight and come with multiple ear tip sizes, so you can find the right fit for extended wear. The hybrid Active Noise Cancellation is also impressive – cutting out up to 98.6% of background noise (up to 49dB), helping you truly sink into your film or playlist. Or, if you prefer to stay alert to announcements or meal service, the Transparency Mode brings in ambient sound when needed.

Audio quality is crisp and well-balanced, thanks to the 13mm drivers. The buds support LE Audio and come with customisable EQ settings too, so you can tweak the sound to your liking. The Bluetooth transmitter connects to the plane’s audio via the 3.5mm jack and supports aptX-Adaptive for minimal delay – meaning you can enjoy perfectly synced audio and video.

Battery life is solid: 8 hours per pair of earbuds, extended to 48 hours with the charging case, and 22 hours from the transmitter. It’s a great all-in-one travel audio solution for couples or solo flyers who value sound quality and comfort over scratchy airline freebies. RRP £148
