Thanks for any help you can provide!
I just travelled on China Airlines premium economy and while regular economy uses the standard 2 prong, the Airbus doesn't. Perhaps it's a way of deterring people from taking the headphones. The standard Bose 3.5 mm to 2 prong adapter doesn't work in the console. The audio on China Airlines I found is horrible and terribly muffled.
