I guess this graphic showing the LSTN in use misled me.

We have a date. July 17.
(I tried to post a link to a Delta Facebook post about this but it doesn't seem to have come through. In any case that's where I saw it.)

I used the new LSTN headphones flying PRG-JFK on Wed, 7/19. I was not impressed. I didn't sense any noise cancelling function at all. And still pretty heavy.
Nice to look at and in a nice bag.

Didn't have them on CDG-SEA on July 17, but did have them on SEA-AMS on July 20. They were nothing special. Audio wasn't working good on one ear until I fiddled with the cable.

Have them on SFO-JFK 7/21 today. Garbage. Zero noise cancellation, just cheap fake wood panelling on the sides to make them look "design-y." Overall feel is cheap and non-premium. Keep bringing your own.

I'm not surprised these are not great headphones (I have a LSTN bluetooth speaker that I am very unimpressed by). But Delta's old D1 headphones were also pretty crappy (and also not active noise-cancelling, as far as I am aware), so maybe these are at least better than those were?
I use my own so I actually can't remember when the last time was, if ever, that I used the Delta ones. So I guess I'm not able to make the direct comparison.
Presumably these look nicer at least.

I found the new LSTN no better than the old ones, maybe not as good. And I've never had DL pick up the headphones if I was using them on landing -- old style or the new ones on Wed. Have had that happen with other airlines, but not with DL.
