@eliseseats ABOUT TIME as someone who never bought over the ear neadphones im freaking out. game changer
If you’re old enough (like this writer is) you might recall when airlines started to offer recycled earphones that came in plastic bags. The earphones would be plugged into a port located on the armrest and the passenger could choose from a small selection of audio channels.
The best entertainment idea offered by an airline came when this writer was on a flight and the airline arranged for Maureen McGovern, the artist who sang “The Morning After” in the 1973 disaster film “The Poseidon Adventure” to sing that song live to a backing track while in-flight. I vaguely remember an announcement that the airline was testing this out for future flights.
While McGovern started to sing the song, the plane experienced some turbulence, and several passengers, remembering “The Poseidon Adventure” audibly gasped and panicked. Needless to say, the airline stopped this experiment pretty quickly. But we digress.
Sure, it really isn’t a “game changer” but using your own AirPods to listen to in-flight entertainment might make the stressful task of flying a little easier to handle.
