First Class Cabin Configuration
How close together are the middle seats in the first class cabin? Can two people travelling together easily talk to each other or is the spacing to far apart. As you can tell, I've never flown international first class in a 747.

Does QF supply noise reducing headphones in C?

You can easily talk to each other. Row 2 has them closest together.

No, QF do not currently offer noise cancelling headphones in any class. Note QF do not have a C class, their business class is J (full fare), D (discount business class) or U (award business class or upgrades from Y).
QF have announced they will offer "high quality" noise cancelling headphones with the new business class cabin upgrades when they start next year. No mention of which brand.

Yes - the first class headphones are noise cancelling - very strange three pin design. Wouldn't have thought any other headphones would work in the cabin ...

You need the the 2 pin convertor to get stereo.
I'm not sure why the 3 pin set-up. maybe to dissuade people from pinching them?.
The Bose headphones on AA are two pin , altho those are collected before the end of the flight on their F service.
The new Airbuses on CX have headphones that are hardwired into the seat which makes it annoying for those who prefer the ear-bud
Sony's (like me)
