I grabbed it and enjoyed my first experience in VX F (I had flown one round trip in Y previously, on the dark 319).
They have the best domestic product hands down. Only minor complaint is that some of the features on the IFE weren't working yet. Max volume was a bit low, too, but I'll try my iPhone headphones next time.
Yes, the free headphones are not good...Volume is fine when I connect my ANRs to the system ;-)
Actually, more often than not, I would prefer to use their headphones, since my bag can't be under the seat in front of me...
