AirPods Pro Bluetooth adapter transmitter for airplanes?

Has anyone found a bluetooth transmitter to use with the in flight entertainment screens that will transmit the signal with sufficient volume to use your AirPods pros?

I bought one of these in amazon, and although it worked, the volume was too low.

This seems to be a fairly common complaint with these bluetooth adapters and AirPod Pros. I am wondering if anyone has found one that works well. Some planes were better than others, but in all cases the volume on the plane headphone jack needed to be turned to max to get any audible sound on the AirPods pros. It would be great to find a product that works as I don't have any wired earphones with noise cancelling.

I know that United is converting all of their planes to BlueTooth. It's not done yet, but that'll be nice in the next year or two.

Haven't tried with APP, but this works with everything I've tried it with. The volume seems to be acceptable in all cases, so far.

I primarily use these with the Duo, and the combo is pretty awesome.

I wonder if Untied's Bluetooth system will try to slurp address book, and other data. Watch for notifications if it does try.

Hmm. I stopped flying United after having several flights where things were not working, and filthy planes. Things like seats broken (seat belts broken), screens not working, in-seat power unavailable, entire entertainment systems down, no wifi, and crabby flight crews. *sigh* Used to fly Untied almost exclusively.

Good to know that planes are starting to upgrade to bluetooth, although I feel bad for flight attendants having to try and teach people how to pair their headphones.

I sent back the bluetooth adapter I bought since I the volume was too low, worse on some planes than others. I did read afterwards a reply to a similar complaint on one of the apple discussion forums, that if you pair the airpod pros to your phone and play at a loud volume, then disconnect and pair to the bluetooth adapter, there will be more upper range in the volume. Not sure if that is true, and wasn't able to test myself since I sent back the adapter.
