Very happy about the headphones. IME the current ones have to have the plug/cord in the precise correct position/angle otherwise you get a lot of crackly sound.

I laughed for 5 minutes after I read this!
I know what you mean about that coffee!
And it does seem to be a bother to the FAs when you ask for something! You are interrupting their gossip and flirt session in that F galley - and did you ever notice that there are at least 3 of them in there talking?!

I love Qatar's color combo on the 787! It's one of the few color combos that I really love in a cabin. Other than QR's color combo, I really love CX's color combo in the new J, and JL's gray combo. The new combo on their refitted aircraft is so-so for me. I'm pretty certain the color combo in F will not fail to impress.
One thing that could have been changed is the flooring of the F washroom. The wahsroom itself is nice, but the flooring doesn't work out for me.
The Bose headphones are a huge improvement from the current generic ones being used but a dissapointment in my opinion as I feel that Bose is overrated.

absolutely +1. But they've got the brand cache which is killer for them, and are good enough for most folks who want something better but aren't audiophiles. For the same price as the QC-15s Senheiser makes significantly better-sounding 'phones, albeit the aesthetics aren't as appealing as Bose. Basically Bose gets a brand premium.

I have purchased quite a few shirts from PYE since they opened their Pacific Place store a couple of months back. The shirts are actually pretty comfortable and their selection of colors and styles are pretty good.
I would like to think that CX has a tender process for these things btw??

The Shanghai Tang PJ's have been around forever and I am getting a little bored of them so it's nice to see a change. Only time will tell if we like them or not.

New J headphones
New headphones in J tonight, on an A333 with the new longhaul J cabin.
No brand. CX logo.
Noise cancelling with no audio playing may be slightly better than old version
Sound quality watching TV show was so-so
Sound quality listening to music was terrible. Really awful.
I did a comparison with a few songs that both IFE had and I had on my iPhone :
- iphone + stock apple ear bud headphones were much, much better quality
I think I will now finally buy some proper headphones to take on the plane, as the stock version is now unusable for music.
Thanks CX...
