Hmm, I didn't get it to work at all. I presumed that the headphones needed the noise-cancelling power in order to provide any sound at all, as some headphones do. However, I'm not a regular in CW so haven't had the chance to test it out very often.

oops, probably my fault
When I tried removing the 2 pin connector and plugging in the single pin, I was getting no sound. But I think the talkthrough function may have been activated (Sennheiser phones). I just gave up too quickly
Will try again on my return trip.
Thanks anyway for all feedback.

Another vote for the QC15s here. On the upper deck with a movie on you can hardly hear the engines.
On SQ I had to use the double adaptor which came with them for the first time, took a bit of working out.

bluetooth headphones connection to boing 777
Hi,
I have just bought some Wireless Bluetooth Headphones which have come with a USB cable.
Does anyone know whether i can connect it to the aircraft to watch movie/listen music?
Or do I need a 3.5 jack cable?
I presume there is no way to connect with the bluetooth.
Thanks.

Yeah, they are pretty bad! In contrast, I have Bose QC25 noise cancelling headphones and the noise cancellation on them is fantastic ^ - the BA headphones' noise cancelling function is in comparison utter rubbish. It's quite an experience to try them side by side and realise how massively better the Bose are.

The 767 CW headphone socket seems to need the 2 pin converter. Certainly I couldn't get my own headphones to work well on a recent trip and I don't normally have an issue with them.

Meanwhile, I do not think it is unreasonable to expect aircraft to have the same headphone socket as almost every other piece of audio equipment in the world.
