I was really impressed with the Bose Noise Cancelling headphones handed out on AA J and F. However on my last trip in J, the first set my partner got had the cushioning falling off, the second didn't work on the left headphone and I'm pretty sure the third was the first on hastilly patched up. I was tempted to buy a set (US$300, haven't seen them onsale in the UK) but I try to sleep on most flights.
However BA should look at giving J pax better headphones than the standard issue ones. And I had to laugh when travelling on QF domestically last year. J class get their headsets in the seat pocket with the cushions on, while in Y you have to pick them up at the gate and you have to attach the cushion yourself. The cost accountants must of worked overtime figuring out the savings on that one! </font>
It's just a shame so many people nicked them, I for one would rather carry my own Sony's than pay more for my ticket due to vanishing headphones...
