BTW, can you use Bluetooth and the ear things throughout a flight? I'm asking since Bluetooth seems to be transmitting and I would think it could be forbidden, especially on some airlines. Does airplane mode disable Bluetooth? Sorry for the stupid question.
MSP, when you place your iP on airplane mode by default it turns off BT and also Wifi. So one must manually reactivate one or both as needed. I do this routinely because of keeping my iP connected to my iWatch.
I think the iPod earbuds sound promising since the traditional Apple earbuds do not hurt my ears but with such a late release we should have good competing options. I am somewhat distracted by the interim issue as on domestic flights I typically watch movies while charging my iP.
