Got a chance them out yesterday (LAX-HKG). Nice. no... very nice.. No nice I opted to put in my Bose ear buds during the 14+ hour flight at any awake moments. And to my surprise the FA didn't collect them until we were descending for landing.
Seemed pretty futile that people were opting to use the standard ear buds despite the fact that we would be landing within 30 mins... But I know the feeling of having the desire to finish that movie for sure!!!
