You apparently have to get the step up model Q35, which is $20 more at Amazon.
But they provide a wire with a 3.5 mm jack so you'd have to supply one of the 2-prong to 3.5 mm adapter to work with certain IFE such as UA Polaris. Has anyone tried this combo?
The headsets they provide you in those Polaris pods have no NC at all.
I have the Q30 and my wife has the Q20. We are both very satisfied with the value for money. It is not the greatest ANC, but works very well for the price point. I don't generally use mine all that much for flying anymore. I use Soundcore P3 as I'm almost always space limited for carryon.
