Idk, 150 people in a tin can all using Bluetooth could cause issues.
It would be better to get noise cancelling headphones with a 3.5mm headphone jack. I had some until my daughter broke them, and I loved them.
Loads of people use Bluetooth devices on airplanes already. Are there any reports of destructive interference as is?
Idk. But from my experience, it's usually something like 20 people (me included). If you made that the default way to connect, I think more people would use them.
Or maybe it's not an issue, idk. I don't know a ton about Bluetooth and airplanes.
I would expect a plan to have a lot more than 20 people watching something on their phone with AirPods (or a clone thereof). Just about everyone that's watching or listening to something on their phone nowadays is using BT headphones, because most phones don't have 3.5mm jacks anymore.
