Creator's Key Takeaways
We are passionate about sharing our knowledge about river cruises, expedition, yacht, and barge cruises so you are informed when it comes to choosing your own vacation experiences.
Quiet Vox is the Kleenex of the industry, you know. But that's a good point. It does leave room for somebody to come in and revolutionize.
The Airfly device really brings that comfort level and also audio quality into the tour that really for us makes the difference.
I love that aspect of it as well. Now, we don't have hearing aids, but we do know that this is a common question.

Thank you for supporting our podcast! ---------------------- Ever struggle to hear your tour guide on a shore excursion, or find that uncomfortable single-use earpiece driving you crazy? We're breaking down everything you need to know about the #1 listening device for cruise tours, called a Quietvox—the small audio device you'll find in your stateroom on most small ship cruises. We’re explaining how it works to deliver your guide's commentary directly to your ear, along with tips you’ll want to remember for your cruise. We also share the simple hack we use to ditch that awkward earpiece entirely (the AirFly by Twelve South, linked below) so you can use your own wireless headphones or AirPods instead. We cover the differences between the AirFly SE and AirFly Pro, the cost, tips for hearing aid users, and why setting it up before you leave home is a must. Whether you're a Quietvox veteran or have never heard of one, this episode will help you hear more, stress less, and look a little less like a tourist as you explore your next port.
