Number of stews who have the time to help you figure out the pairing rigamarole or why the radio on this unit is fucked: ZERO.
Number of issues with regular fucking headphones: zero.
Cases where the tinniness will impact your enjoyment of visual spooge: zero
People stopping you from buying some $15 apple 3.5mm pods for your earballs: zero
I'm thinking you'll be fine. Leave the air safety officers alone so they can do their job.
3.5mm earphones don't block 85db of plane noise
Most over-ear noise cancelling headphones I've seen have a 3.5mm input that works with the noise cancelling.
The ones that seal do provide sound isolation
And they're lots of fun when there's a cabin announcement.
No help necessary. Leave it as an advanced option and provide those who request assistance a cheap pair of 3.5 mm headphones. SOLVED.
Wire gets caught in my limbs because the seating area is so tight.
Wire jack is tucked up from people pulling headphones at odd angles. Wortsst case scenario (has happened to me): the jack is inoperable, incapable of holding headphones without continuous, upwards pressure.
No active noise canceling (you might still be able to find ANC wired headphones but they are a niche product if they still exist).
An extra item to pack, since my phone requires a dangle to use 3.5 mm headphones, so I either pack a dangle, or another pair of headphones for using with my phone.
I'm sorry you're not able to appreciate hifi sound but that's a a you problem.
Those sound like shit compared to the expensive pair of wireless ear buds that I already own.
Of course I'm fine. But what's this nonsense about bothering air safety officers? Nobody is berating airline employees about bluetooth headphones lol.
Found these pretty quickly.
