I flew from BDL-JFK-ICN-HKG in June on Delta to JFK and then KE to ICN and HKG. I was in economy and KE did not charge for the headphones.

Didnt some airline charge $5 even if you used your own headset? Basically making it $5 for audio access. I want to say HA used to do this.
I seem to recall this too... maybe HA, but I seem to recall CO &/or DL too...

AS offers its digEplayer for $5-$10, a personal digital player with various movies, tv shows, music videos, music, destination and airline information.

A cool anecdote is that the founder/inventor of the device was an AS Baggage Handler in SEA at the time!

Pacific Blue charges $2 (or is it $3) for them. I assume Virgin Blue does too.
